Virtual Desktop Experience (VDX)
For VDI Administrators and Digital Workplace Teams that manage Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) availability, reliability, and issue resolution. Virtual Desktop Experience (VDX) is a capability of the 1E Platform that provides end-to-end visibility of the VDI estate, and facilitates proactive issue identification and automatic remediation, to provide a best-in-class Digital Employee Experience.
Please contact your CSM / Account Manager to get access to VDX.
Infrastructure Gain end-to-end visibility, from beginning to endpoint. With instant access to key data about your Citrix VDI deployment, technicians can leverage this in combination with data on the 1E Platform to take more effective action to resolve incidents or problems when they occur.
Visibility of key performance indicators such as average logon duration and roundtrip time provides an at-a-glance understanding of the health of your VDI deployment.
Virtual Desktop Experience score is generated automatically from a variety of factors such as logon duration, roundtrip time, drop-offs, and reconnects, to provide an understanding of user experience.
End-to-end visibility of key infrastructure relating you your Citrix VDI. This includes Store Fronts, Delivery Controllers, and Databases, along with managed and unmanaged connecting devices. This assists with key troubleshooting workflows by providing situational awareness of infrastructure performance, and understanding which parts of the infrastructure might represent potential root causes for any issues.
View historical data. View the infrastructure overview at previous points in time, to assist with key troubleshooting workflows for persistent VDI issues.
Infrastructure alerts are automatically generated to provide warnings. These alerts are visible in a drawer on the right-hand side of the infrastructure overview, and alert badges also display on the relevant node of the topology, providing an enhanced understanding of which specific elements of the infrastructure may be experiencing the most issues.
Automatic remediation. VDX contains out-the-box automatic remediation capabilities to restart stopped services across various elements of your VDI deployment.
Leverage the power of the 1E Platform. If the 1E Client is installed across the VDI deployment, users can also easily access in-depth device and performance data, along with seamless technician workflows with tools such as 1E Endpoint Troubleshooting, to gather additional diagnostic data in real time, or take action to resolve issues on one or more devices.
User Sessions
At-a-glance key performance indicators. View key metrics such as VDX score, average roundtrip time, and average logon duration, to provide instant understanding of your VDI health and end-user experience.
User sessions. Search, sort, and filter through user sessions based on a variety of parameters, to assist with troubleshooting efforts for broader problems. This includes, for example, identifying sessions with poor experience scores, high latency, or high logon durations.
User session details. View specific details per user session. This includes detailed information in various formats - including time-series graphs - relating to their roundtrip, performance, logon breakdown, user history, and virtual applications. On this page relevant infrastructure alerts also display, assisting with correlating how these might be a root cause impacting end-user sessions.
Enhanced device pillar. VDX introduces a new area to the device pillar, providing the ability to see Citrix services running on the infrastructure, and associated user sessions.

Tachyon Dashboards
Over time, Tachyon Dashboards will introduce a number of overview dashboards into the Tachyon Platform that give top-level information on the performance of an organization regarding various aspects of their business as measured by Tachyon Apps.
It's important to measure or evaluate the way that your organization is performing in terms of your employee Digital EXperience (DEX). This measure lets you know how good your employee day-to-day experience is of your company's IT systems, how happy they are working in your company, and how likely they are to stay with you.
In many organizations, the ability to gain insight into your DEX KPIs involves gathering data from multiple applications and departments, then analyzing and correlating it to determine if the user experience and sentiment are trending up or down. A bigger challenge is understanding if the tools and processes you have in place are improving end-user productivity.
Patch Insights
This is currently available as a limited access release, please contact your 1E Account Team for more details.
Patch Insights provides an overview of the last mile patching required on your environment. It is centered around the final stages of your monthly patching process, with a view to allow you to identify the problematic devices in your environment. At this point of its development, Patch Insights does not remediate the cause of patch failures, or the inability to reach devices, but gives a view of these, and once manual remediation action has been taken, the ability exists within Patch Insights to redeploy the failed patches, using the power of the Tachyon Platform.
Patch Insights from 1E is an important part of keeping your devices secure, performant and healthy, this has become even more important than ever with hybrid work becoming the norm and employees embracing remote work. Patch Insights brings visibility, clarity, and peace of mind around device patching. Research and testing is made easier with comprehensive device and patch views. Vulnerabilities can be detected and closed in real-time using the patch-view dashboard, and the power of Tachyon Actions, via Tachyon Explorer.

Application Migration 3.1.105:
Features in the Application Migration 3.1.105 maintenance release:
Works with Tachyon Platform 5.2
No new features in this maintenance release.
Features in the main Application Migration 3.1 release:
Works with Tachyon 5.1
Improvements to upgrade rules to support scenarios where the currently installed software has a later version than the one listed in the upgrade rule - In versions prior to Application Migration 3.1, it was possible that upgrade rules had issues when the application they were trying to upgrade on the client devices were later versions than the ones they were trying to upgrade to. To remedy these unpredictable and unwanted results, now if an upgrade rule tries to downgrade an application then it will be ignored.
Application and Package installation success has been improved - this handles scenarios where the administrator has forgotten to check the Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action without being deployed checkbox, which is a prerequisite for migrating an application. In practice, it was a common error for administrators to overlook this, which - in earlier versions - led to the Task Sequence failing. In Application Migration 3.1, if the administrator forgets to set the checkbox, a warning is now displayed that lets the administrator continue and Application Migration sets the option automatically.
Multiple exclusion of applications is now supported from the Installations page.

Nomad 1.0 (New app in 5.2):
Works with Tachyon Platform 5.2
Modernized backend infrastructure - Nomad requires a back-end server, which was previously the legacy ActiveEfficiency platform, this has been replaced by the Tachyon Platform to provide Single-Site download, Pre-caching and a new Dashboard. For customers moving to Modern Management, Nomad provides visibility and control of Delivery Optimization, which is used by Intune, MS store and MS update.
Leverage the Tachyon Platform and 1E Client - with the Tachyon Platform you can enable further features including Experience, User Sentiment, Guaranteed State and Patch Success, as well as opening up real-time management to any task by acquiring the appropriate license.
Content Distribution - Content Distribution is a new component of the Tachyon Platform that provides control and visibility on content deployments and delivery in an organization
Replaces ActiveEfficiency features, maintaining support during upgrade for legacy Nomad clients (versions earlier than Nomad 7.1 in 1E Client 5.2)
Nomad 7.1 clients now connect to Tachyon Response Stack components (Switch and Background Channel) which act as a proxy for Content Distribution, and legacy clients continue to connect directly to Content Distribution.
Nomad app - the user interface for Content Distribution, provides real-time visibility of what content is downloading or available in each location, subnet and client, see how much WAN traffic is being saved overall and each day
Delivery Optimization (DO) Visibility - visibility of Delivery Optimization downloads and content availability in each location, subnet and device
Delivery Optimization (DO) and Windows Update Agent (WUA) monitoring - track Windows download or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager deployments on clients being downloaded via Delivery Optimization in real time, their peer to peer downloads efficiency, sources of the downloaded content and see this reported in the Nomad app dashboards
Overview page - gives a high-level view of the current status of content throughout the entire network
Content page - provides a Content-centric view of content distributed throughout your network
Task Sequences page - provides that visibility by grouping the reference content for each Task Sequence into a single view, so you can see which content is cached and which is not
Devices page - lists all Devices that have sent Nomad device registration events and have sent download events within a selected time period, links through to Device View
Nomad Sites page - shows how the network is being used for content distribution in different locations
Client Health page - shows information from two Integrated Product Packs provided with the Tachyon Platform.

Application Migration 3.1:
Improvements to upgrade rules to support scenarios where the currently installed software has a later version than the one listed in the upgrade rule - In versions prior to Application Migration 3.1, it was possible that upgrade rules had issues when the application they were trying to upgrade on the client devices were later versions than the ones they were trying to upgrade to. To remedy these unpredictable and unwanted results, now if an upgrade rule tries to downgrade an application then it will be ignored.
Application and Package installation success has been improved - this handles scenarios where the administrator has forgotten to check the Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action without being deployed checkbox, which is a prerequisite for migrating an application. In practice, it was a common error for administrators to overlook this, which - in earlier versions - led to the Task Sequence failing. In Application Migration 3.1, if the administrator forgets to set the checkbox, a warning is now displayed that lets the administrator continue and Application Migration sets the option automatically.
Multiple exclusion of applications is now supported from the Installations page.
Experience 1.2:
The Tachyon Experience score has been greatly enhanced to include User Sentiment - this means that, not only can you monitor the stability, responsiveness, and performance of the devices on your network to deduce your end-users satisfaction with their IT services, you can send out surveys and incorporate your end-users actual feedback directly into the picture.
The Tachyon Experience score displayed on the Overview page includes user sentiment values, please refer to The Scores for more information.
The Categories page includes a Sentiment tile showing the current User Sentiment score.
The Sentiment page lets you view the User Sentiment score on its own and drill down to view users and monitor their feedback and pain points.
End-User Surveys - two types of survey are supported: User Sentiment and General Purpose. User Sentiment Surveys contribute towards the Tachyon Experience score, General Purpose Surveys can be used to ask one-off questions of your end-users and get their feedback on any issue. The Surveys page is where you can create, enable and deploy surveys.
A Users page is provided that lets you get information on the end-users on the devices in your network.
Customize the Tachyon Experience pages to view the interactive charts you want to focus on - including the display of the results from your User Sentiment surveys on the Sentiment page.
Explorer 5.1:
No changes
Guaranteed State 1.4:
The workflow on the rule creation page has been improved, so that all the information you need to enter is presented on a single page, making it easier to create rules.
