### 38 Citrix servers retired at Home Depot

The Home Depot moved 2,800 Mac users  to the native app, retired 38 Citrix servers , and cut login to the first host screen from 90 seconds to 5 . This was a native Mac migration, not a measured result for the browser gateway.

### Replacing browser or virtual-desktop access?

Map the entire path from sign-in to host work. [Compare Host On-Demand, HACP Extended Edition, HACloud and WND Terminal →](https://wndsoftware.com/compare-host-on-demand)

If a virtual desktop is there mainly to deliver a terminal, compare that with the [native and browser deployment options](https://wndsoftware.com/citrix-avd).


### How it is licensed

Desktop and Enterprise are priced per user. Enterprise covers the browser gateway according to the current plan. A person does not become an extra seat merely by using both desktop and browser; check your deployment against the pricing and licensing terms.

### Questions


#### Is the browser gateway hosted by WND Terminal?

No. Your organization runs the gateway and controls its connection to the hosts and identity provider.


#### Do phones connect directly to a mainframe?

The phone opens the organization’s browser gateway. The gateway runs the host session and supplies the touch interface.


#### Is every feature identical on every platform?

Check the relevant platform and feature guides. For example, privileged-access enforcement runs on the gateway, not in native desktop sessions.


#### Is Free for a work computer?

Free is for one person on their own unmanaged computer. Use the team trial on a company-managed PC.
