    HVE-VDI is well suited in just about any environment were desktops and servers need to be managed. Schools, Government institutions, Banks, Churches etc. If you are needing to run virtual desktops and just not sure on how to do so. HVE inc is for sure the company that you need.

    It is suited for multiple users in different locations all working virtually. Not too great where it does not have a server close to the timezone of these users.

    Sphere 3D
    • Customer service is through the roof. 5-Star all the way!
    • They keep it affordable without slacking on speed and functionality.
    • Super fast installs and response time to your issues. Always on top of things, even sometimes before you even know you have an issue.

    Cons
    Sphere 3D
    • Maybe price. They do a really good job in their pricing... But sometimes it is still little about the price range for some small schools.
    • Choosing vendors. In my area, they have partnered with a small tech company that does not have a great track record. To be able to choose who I can purchase from would be great. But, they have worked with me to help with this.
    • Maybe easier to get onsite support. Most of the time a remote connection is how support works. To get on site is a little tough. But again, HVE has always come through. I'm just having to be very picky.

    This is a well-refined product. I like that it was extremely easy to provision and set up. The price is very competitive and also does not have a bandwidth limit, which is really awesome. Once connected, it is like you are using any normal desktop computer.

    • They have made us one of the leading schools in our area for sure.
    • We were able to role out Texas Online State Testing with little to no problems. THIS IS HUGE!!
    • Less downtime... Their server solutions are one of the most stable in the business. I rarely ever have server issues. When you do, you can be back up and be going in Minutes.
