@Mark Francome  I have worked using the configuration you have suggested. The Citrix I have worked on was restricted for any data movement between control-m and my workstation. As a result it was hard to smoothly generate reports, create workflows snapshots and so no. Of course it depends on citrix configuration, but still I find it less user friendly to web-based interface.  As you already said control-m self-service is limited and it is Control-m's big vulnerability for the favor of such applications like UAC for example.  Web-interface is more flexible, easier to maintain. It could be more broadly accessible and secured in parallel.
Installation of UAC can be also processed using  automation tools such as SCCM, Ansible, or Puppet. It  can be easily moved to the private or public cloud. 
In general  choice of the tools depends of requirement and infrastructure capabilities. For specific scenarios both  application have dadicated  to use. Control-M still is a elite among the other tools, but for the time being my choice is Universal Automation Center because is ... more universal :) than its competitors.
