What is Citrix Analytics?
Citrix Analytics is a Cloud-based service that works across Citrix portfolio products and third-party products. The Analytics service receives data from these products (or data sources) and uses built-in Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to detect anomalous behavior of a user or any other entity. It then monitors and troubleshoots user sessions and share links across an organization that uses Citrix products.
