Citrix Positioned as a Leader in Magic Quadrant Report for Web Conferencing
December 22 2011 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Citrix announced today that the company has been named by the
global research and advisory firm, Gartner, Inc., a “Leader” in the
firm’s annual “Magic Quadrant for Web Conferencing” report*.
Evaluated as one of 12 providers, Citrix is recognized as a
Leader for the ability to execute well on its product and service
strategy as well as demonstrating a compelling vision. Evaluations
considered specifics such as basic and advanced product
functionality, pricing models, customer experience, and the
products’ alignment with customers’ market expectations and
requirements. Citrix has added multiple new innovations to its
“GoTo” line of cloud collaboration services, such as audio and
video services, along with an expanded global strategy, extending
its market reach into larger enterprises. The company achieved an
industry first this year with the introduction of its integrated
audio, web and high-definition video conferencing solution,
GoToMeeting® with HDFaces™. Delivering high-definition group video
conferencing, HDFaces is the first to provide a very natural,
real-time face-to-face meeting experience. Citrix also led mobile
innovation, providing collaboration support for iPhone, iPad and
Android™ devices. In addition, the report recognized the company’s
global expansion strategy, acknowledging the completion of its
successful acquisition and integration of Netviewer AG, a leading
privately-held European Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) vendor in
collaboration and IT services.
A recently released Citrix newsletter featuring Gartner research
further highlights this in context with trends in the web
conferencing market.
"We believe our position as a Leader in this year’s quadrant is
a testament to our focus on the customer experience and our ability
to continue to transform the way people meet, collaborate and work.
We have always believed simplicity drives adoption and we’ve
continued this vision even as we’ve introduced powerful new
features such as mobile web conferencing apps and high-definition
group video conferencing. It’s this value proposition that sets us
apart. Our customers don't just tell us our products work every
time, they tell us they love them,” said Bernardo de Albergaria, VP
and GM, Collaboration, Citrix Systems.
Collaboration highlights in 2011:
- Citrix debuted GoToMeeting with HDFaces
high-definition group video conferencing, making video a natural
part of the collaboration experience for the first time by

video in an easy-to-use and affordable one-click solution.
- Citrix introduced its GoTo Developer
Center, a free resource that provides first-time access to
GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar® and GoToTraining® APIs, developer
resources and best practice tips to build strategic integrations

and reporting functions of Citrix GoTo cloud collaboration
services.

Netviewer AG, Citrix continued its European growth and SaaS
leadership by introducing Spanish and Italian localized versions of
GoToMeeting.

provider to add a social share feature to its GoToTraining

sessions on social media channels.

enable collaboration from iPhone, iPad or Android enabled-platforms
such as smartphones and tablets.

Salespeople.”
