A cost-effective and streamlined virtual desktop infrastructure solution with a user-friendly interface and simplified management
The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency. The simplicity of the management tools is a key highlight, especially when compared to other solutions like Citrix, where there is often complexity due to various components such as controllers, storefronts, and different servers.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

Cons

"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
"It would be highly beneficial if they could offer a version that is entirely on-premises, eliminating the need for cloud connection except for data access."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution can be made faster and it should improve performance wise."
"The integration could be improved."
"I would like to see more useful monitoring within users and a more useful help desk."
"My deployment is complex and I hope it will only take a month."
"More ready-to-deploy templates should be available. Because they are not included, a lot of configuration is required."
"I would highlight the challenges related to integrating with Microsoft Azure services. Specifically, there are issues with MDM-managed devices and the necessity for MDM-managed compliant devices. In the non-persistent horizon model, there's a delay before each new desktop becomes compliant. Users can access these desktops before fully onboard into the MDM solution."
"The installation is complex and could be easier. The full installation with testing took a couple of weeks to complete."
"The solution isn't quite mature yet. It needs more time to mature and to get more market recognition."
"There is room for improvement in support. The response time could be faster."

"Customers pay a licensing fee."
"There is a monthly subscription for the use of this solution and it is expensive."
