Citrix XenMobile
XenMobile delivers complete Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) – mobile device management, mobile application management and enterprise-grade productivity apps – in one comprehensive solution. XenMobile enhances the user experience on BYO or corporate devices without compromising security.
AirWatch and Citrix XenMobile are both significant players in the field of enterprise mobility management, offering solutions for managing and securing mobile devices, applications, and data. However, they exhibit distinct differences in terms of their origins, features, and integration capabilities.

AirWatch, now known as VMware Workspace ONE, was developed by VMware. It places a strong emphasis on a unified digital workspace experience, combining device management, application delivery, and identity management into a single platform. Workspace ONE excels in its integration with VMware's broader ecosystem, making it a preferred choice for organizations already invested in VMware technologies. Its approach focuses on delivering a seamless user experience while ensuring robust security measures through a combination of device-level controls and application management.

On the other hand, Citrix XenMobile, developed by Citrix, has historically emphasized application and desktop virtualization. While XenMobile provides comprehensive mobile device management and application management capabilities, its origins in the virtualization space give it a unique advantage in scenarios where organizations require seamless integration between virtual desktops and mobile devices. XenMobile offers a high level of control over application delivery and user access, particularly beneficial for industries with stringent compliance requirements.
