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
