About:
Omnissa Horizon Client is a virtual desktop and application client that enables secure access to remote Windows, Linux, and published applications from various devices. It provides high-performance display protocols, seamless device integration, and robust connectivity options for enterprise environments. The client is designed to deliver a native-like user experience while maintaining centralized management and security compliance.

Key Features:

High-performance Blast Extreme and PCoIP display protocols
Unified Workspace integration for single sign-on and app portal
Client drive redirection and peripheral support
TLS 1.3 encryption and conditional access policies
Support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android clients

Use Cases:

Remote work: Access corporate desktops and applications securely from home or on the go
BYOD: Provide secure virtual apps to employees using personal devices without data leakage
Contractor access: Grant temporary, controlled access to specific published applications
VDI migration: Enable seamless transition from physical to virtual desktops

Alternatives:

Microsoft Remote Desktop – Native RDP client; lacks Horizon's Blast Extreme protocol and centralized enterprise management features
Parsec – Low-latency gaming-focused streaming; not designed for enterprise VDI management or security requirements
Citrix Workspace app – Similar enterprise VDI functionality; part of Citrix ecosystem rather than Omnissa/Horizon stack
