Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS), the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, today announced that Citrix Password Manager?, a key component of its Citrix Presentation Server? product line for Windows application delivery, has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Single Sign-On, 2007” report authored by Gartner Research Director Gregg Kreizman.
With more than 200,000 customers, Citrix Presentation Server is the industry’s leading solution for delivering Windows-based applications with the best security, performance and cost savings. The Password Manager integrated enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) capabilities make it easy for these users to securely access all their applications with a single password, then reset that password via the web without calling the help desk. In addition to its ESSO capabilities, Presentation Server also integrates secure application access capabilities based on its award-winning Citrix Access Gateway? solution, which also placed in the leaders quadrant of Gartner’s “Magic Quadrant for SSL VPN, North America, 3Q06” report earlier this year (see press release: http://citrix.com/English/NE/news/news.asp?newsID=162870).
Password Manager and Access Gateway are available both as standalone solutions or as part of the Citrix Presentation Server, Platinum Edition. More information on Citrix Presentation Server can also be found in a recent report by Gartner Principal Research Analyst Federica Troni (http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?ref=g_search&id=509490&subref=simplesearch).
“IT administrators need top notch security for their applications, as well as a solution that won’t compromise ease of use and productivity for their users,” said David Roussain, vice president of product marketing, Virtualization Systems Group, Citrix Systems. “By featuring seamless, integrated password management as a critical element of the application delivery infrastructure, Citrix Password Manager ensures that employee productivity and system usability are preserved. We are honored that Citrix Password Manager has been placed in the ESSO leaders quadrant.”
To be placed in the leaders quadrant, Gartner looks for influential companies in the Enterprise Single Sign-On (ESSO) market that “show a consistent ability to gain new customers in broad industries and geographies, and at the higher end of the quadrant, have very good to excellent customer references, products that easily or very easily integrate with target systems, and a commitment to rapidly provide the product updates their customers want.”
