I have a client who has Citrix. I don't know anything about the setup of Citrix or what's involved, but I do like using it. It allows me to do all my development work from my home office, yet I have access to their system at any time to do research, look at their data, upload software upgrades, research problems, manipulate their data, etc.

The only problem I ever ran into was because some users wouldn't logoff before they dropped their connection so it appeared that too many users were still active for the license agreement (but I think this was more a network issue). The same would happen if your modem connection was dropped for some reason.

But overall, it worked for the client's needs who had workers in other states as well as working really well for me.
