Andrew,
I was thinking the same that Appsence wasn't what I am looking for, it
is more to complete the function of Safend from users on thin terminals.
Do you thing the best way is to place the safe end client on the thin
terminal and forget about putting it on the XenApp server. I see your
thinking here now that you have said it. I will look into this as it may
save me a lot of time and it would keep all clients using the same
method.
Have you seen a product similar to Safend that works solely on XenApp.

Ronnie,
What is it you want to do?
Safend is more about data protection isn't it? So you're controlling
what data is stored to the USB drive, and if that data is going to be
encrypted and potentially audit when that data is transferred: all very
important - perhaps more important that blocking the ability to run
programs from a drive.
Application Manager is a great product for preventing unauthorised
application access; and allowing you to give users control without
giving them admin privileges. But App Manager doesn't have a function to
(say) only allow data to be written if the USB drive isn't encrypted.
So if you replace Safend with App Manager it's not exactly
like-for-like.
I'd agree - just because it's not certified doesn't mean it won't work
but you'll likely find that the agent needs to be installed on the end
device to get it to work reliably.

Hi Ronnie,
I would say you should check out AppSense Application Manager That does
exactly what you want, including logging And AppSense is a Citrix
partner and "Citrix Ready" (so certified to run on your XenApp
environment)
You can download a trail here (registration required):
