# Citrix Workspace

7 Hacker News commenters recommended Citrix Workspace and 12 criticized it, November 2025 to November 2026. It was recommended in 4 of 13 months.

**Verdict:** Lets people run Windows apps and sessions from a remote server when a browser can't, though critics call it slow, flickery and painful to manage.
