Azure Virtual Desktop vs. Nerdio

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.

Nerdio's well positioned in dynamic user count environments, for sure. Or where user's are brought on temporarily and new IT hardware purchase isn't cost effective. If you'd in an environment where frequent application updates are needed, Nerdio handles this with an image model. Less appropriate in predictable, basic computing environments.

• Better computing power
• Configurable System and as per team needs configuration can be added or removed at ease
• Internet Connectivity within the cloud system is way better than our home / office internet connections
• No heating issues on personal machines, leaving all the worry on actual data center machines

• Responsiveness to problems we experience
• Working until we are satisfied with the response
• Helping us stay on top of issues that may be problematic down the road

• 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

• Default printers! If you work form home and it will switch up your printers. Even if you don't work from home it will switch it sometimes.
• Disk space seems a little expensive too :(

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.

Migrating to Azure Virtual Desktop can be a daunting experience as you have to instantly get things right for the users. Nerdio makes it a lot easier to understand all the options within Azure that it overlays, meaning you can get up to speed far quicker and with more accuracy

They are all part of my company's environment.

We ran an RDS environment for 20 years and Citrix was always a very expensive option with a deep and rich working environment, however I feel that Nerdio is a far superior product that's been born in the cloud and fits the more modern VDI requirements of businesses. We choose Nerdio on price and ease of use.

• 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.

• We have far less problems and our employees are all much more productive (almost too productive!)
• It is a little expensive, so it will take us some time to see the savings.
