The End User Experience Score template includes two scorecards, Citrix End User Experience Score and Citrix Logon Duration Score, that provide an at-a-glance view of the health of your end user experiences across your entire environment.
Citrix End User Experience Scorecard
Based on industry best-practices and displayed using a scale of 0-100 (where 100 is best), overall score and individual end user experience metrics scores can be viewed quickly to understand which users may be experiencing issues over the selected time period.
