ControlUp was created by a team of Citrix consultants who knew there had to be a better way to universally manage a Citrix environment. With real-time detection and immediate remediation capabilities, ControlUp solutions were developed with the Citrix admin top of mind.
ControlUp’s management and analytics platform enables Citrix admins to monitor, troubleshoot, analyze, and directly remediate issues in real time in their on-prem, hybrid-cloud, or fully cloud Citrix infrastructure. They can quickly spot performance issues across multiple layers, from hypervisors and datastores to Citrix ADC appliances, delivery brokers, VMs and VDAs and all the way to specific user sessions and processes. ControlUp works with all Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops versions, even multiple farms, enabling a streamlined management experience in non-homogeneous environments.
Within ControlUp, there are a multitude of features and capabilities that can dramatically decrease the negative impact excessive login times, long application launch times, high protocol latencies, and bandwidth limitations can have on both end-user experience and admin productivity. ControlUp provides early detection of issues that might impact end-user experience while taking admins directly to the root cause of these issues. Administrators also can solve issues directly from the ControlUp console, saving precious hours and productivity.
ControlUp solutions can drastically improve IT operations within our largest and arguably most important vertical — healthcare. In a hospital setting where many situations are life or death, it’s critical that doctors and nurses can access their desktops and apps in seconds. To achieve this, the hospital’s IT team must be constantly aware of bottleneck-inducing logon delays caused by resource utilization or complex requests being processed by a user’s machine. Here is where ControlUp comes into play with Automated Actions as a game changer for healthcare IT.
By automating native script actions that dynamically optimize end-user experience, admins can catch these bottlenecks before they occur, automatically remediating recurring issues and preventing them from ever happening again. With an emphasis on end-user experience and logon issues, ControlUp Automation can be a time-saving and thorough way for healthcare IT admins to create a productive environment for all employees.
