Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems, Inc., today
announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Leaders”
quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Web Conferencing 2010.”1
Citrix Online’s real-time collaboration tools were assessed
along with 14 other providers based on the ability to execute and
completeness of vision. According to Gartner, “Vendors in the
Leaders quadrant have achieved significant market share while
demonstrating an ability to respond to customers' needs. Leaders
have robust, scalable products with a wide range of features, a
large installed base, acceptable financial performance and good
distribution. Leaders are doing well today and are prepared for the
future.”
“Our philosophy says it all: simplicity equals adoption,
adoption equals ROI. More than 100 million people took part in web
collaboration sessions using our products last year, and we were
the only major web conferencing provider gaining market-share in
the last 3 years – testament to our unrelenting focus on usability
and superlative customer experience, not on meaningless feature
checklists. Our customers, from individuals to large enterprises,
don’t just tell us our products work every time, they tell us they
love them,” said Bernardo de Albergaria, vice president and general
manager, collaboration, of Citrix Online. “With the addition of
HDFaces™ high-definition video conferencing and further
enhancements to our audio offerings slated for 2011, we will
continue to provide delightfully simple productivity to our
customers.”
In October, Citrix Online announced HDFaces, a high-definition
video conferencing technology for its web conferencing products
that will be available the first quarter of 2011 at no additional
cost. HDFaces features the innovative new Multistream HD™
technology, which enables all participants to view up to six
high-resolution video conferencing streams in a high-definition
session for a total maximum resolution of 1920p x 960p – a market
first – and allows participants to view video and the presenter's
shared desktop in the same screen for the most natural virtual
meeting experience yet, all with a standard desktop webcam and
internet connection. Citrix Online’s web conferencing products
offer integrated audio conferencing via phone and computer with the
option to upgrade to integrated toll-free audio service.
International toll-free calls will be available in 2011.
Citrix Online’s web conferencing solutions include GoToMeeting®
GoToWebinar® GoToTraining®. GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar are among
the fastest growing products in the company's history, due to their
ability to provide an easy-to-use, secure, cost-effective and fast
way to meet, demonstrate products and collaborate online. With the
addition of GoToTraining this year – an easy-to-use, affordable
solution for online corporate training – businesses and individuals
have a full suite of collaborative services for their online
meeting, webinar and training needs.
