CITRIX VDI ALTERNATIVE FOR CONTRACTORS

Retire Citrix VDI for contractors. Keep the security.

Most teams keep VDI running after their Microsoft 365 migration for one reason: unmanaged contractor devices. PosturePass verifies those devices at sign-in instead, so VDI can go. No MDM. No VDI. From $3 per user / month.

THE COST OF KEEPING VDI

Contractors only use email and web apps. You're paying VDI prices for it.

Once employees move to Microsoft 365, VDI usually stays running for one reason: unmanaged contractor devices. Verifying the device instead of virtualizing it removes that tail cost.
