The as-a-service specialist announced Thursday its macOS offering, which allows Macs running on Apple's virtualization specialist MacStadium and in AWS's rent-a-Mac to be accessed with Citrix VDA for macOS.
As Citrix's announcement of the enhancement explains, this will be handy for some users in particular. Multimedia professionals can have access to Macs that are more powerful than those they or their employers own, while developers have access to remote Macs for software testing because it means they don't have to acquire the hardware.
But analyst firm Gartner reported this week that other Citrix customers are not happy.
