What is ObserveIT Session Recording for Citrix?
ObserveIT Session Recording for Citrix is a comprehensive session recording and auditing solution designed specifically for Citrix virtual desktop environments. It records on-screen activity, keyboard input, access context, and other critical data to create searchable session visualizations and activity logs.
Key features include:
- Real-time session recording and playback - ObserveIT captures video, keyboards strokes, on-screen text, mouse clicks, screen changes, and other user interactions in Citrix sessions. Recordings can be searched and replayed like a video for security auditing and activity monitoring.
- Contextual session metadata - Detailed metadata like user name, IP address, geolocation, device name, session duration, and more is linked to each session recording to provide rich contextual insight.
- Agentless architecture - No endpoint agents are required. ObserveIT taps directly into Citrix infrastructure using standard APIs for quick deployment without interfering with endpoint systems.
- Trigger-based recording - Administrators can configure rules to selectively record risk-based sessions, like those originating from unknown devices or geo-locations.
- Cloud and on-prem options - ObserveIT is offered as SaaS or can be deployed on-premises, with the ability to aggregate data from hybrid Citrix environments into a single pane of glass.
Overall, ObserveIT for Citrix allows organizations to monitor insider threats, demonstrate compliance, resolve help desk tickets faster, optimize workflows, and secure Citrix virtual desktop environments.
