    I appreciate that a backup of my data is regularly updated and stored at more than one location in the U.S. One
    of our employees got a new computer about a month after we started using Act
    Cloud Hosting, and the employee simply contacted tech support and they helped
    her get her new computer connected to the server and she was back working in a
    very short time. And I appreciate that they have always followed up after a tech support request to make sure that I am satisfied.

    1. Overall we had excellent cost reduction after migrating from Citrix. We no longer need per-user CALs, and can scale our environment down to match usage. 2. Since the hosts are in Azure, Multi-session Windows 11 is fantastic. 3. Ability to Scale up to meet usage has saved us during several critical outages.

    Cons

    • Centralization of communication. My experience tells me that there are people initiating emails without the knowledge and the status of the progress with the installation

    • While it is PaaS it would be nice to have some monitoring insights into some parts of the offering
    • Migrating user sessions from one host to another (to be able to downscale) would be awesome
    • It would be nice to have a more seamless deployment of FSLogix in a AVD Enviroment

    Stability and latency complaints are common, but not experienced by all users. A drop in overall productivity can be seen in contributors who rely on a lot of copy-pasting for editing, so some such commands are not instantaneous. Set up is intuitive and the tool is simple enough. It was quick to adopt and stick to.

    • Saved me two extra users to QuickBooks which prices kept increasing for Accountants with Payroll.
    • It allowed me to focus on tax returns which my billable hours are more then data entry and not have to stop in QuickBooks for someone to use my computer.

    • Generally, Positive so far. From business objectives, we covered security, scalability and efficiency but implementing AVD.
    • User are able to work securely from anywhere and support hybrid model as well.
    • however, ongoing attention require to make sure you are not over sizing the host pools and cost remain in expected budget.
