    I mentioned that during the last two years, a lot of the training we do at my business was impacted, just like a lot of companies. My biggest thing was getting everyone on the same page, and I feel some software does that better than others. With Cloudshare, It allowed me especially to see an accurate snapshot of what was going on with the learning portion of the work that we do by making it easy to digest what was going on in my workplace.

    It is very well suited to large, diverse organizations looking to quickly deploy applications virtually to its employee base. They give immense control to system
    Admins and allow users to more easily install the applications they need. They also allow users quick access to their applications, even during migration.

    • It allowed us to isolate applications so that they did not adversely interact with other applications.
    • They served as a virtual machine while we managed the migration to a new OS.
    • They helped us decrease malicious attacks because web browsers operating within a container could be terminated if an attack occurred.
    • They allowed us to quickly deploy applications across a diverse, global organization.

    • Container access and restrictions were a bit cumbersome to set up.
    • We would frequently have users report containers failing to work properly due to file size.
    • There was very little documentation we could provide to users during onboarding

    I just felt that Azure had little to no help on the base tiers, whereas with Cloudshare, I felt a fuller "user experience" as it pertains to getting help when I and when my team needed it. I think that was the biggest and main thing in my opinion. In this software space, sometimes the little things can be the difference in picking one software over the other, and that basically was it for us!

    We went with Desktop Containers because we had a former colleague recommend it. However, we do feel we made the right choice for our organization.

    Return on Investment
    CloudShare
    • We save time as we can keep virtual classrooms always ready.
    • It may vary according to the usage scenario, but the user interface is comfortable. When you go into a little detail, you may not need counseling for initial use.
    • You can manage the jobs that you would do multiple times on other platforms at once from here.
    • All of these actually give you a profit. Time wasted, less application usage, less resource consumption, etc.
