Kasm Workspaces vs. Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) vs. V2 Cloud

Kasm Workspaces is a good fit for when you need to provide home-based workers access to corporate information or application, but you don't want to provide full network access through a VPN connection. It works well for when you want to ensure that data cannot be taken out of the network or you want to allow non-company devices to be used to access internal resources.

Using Microsoft Teams for small or large meetings is a great way to communicate and collaborate. Microsoft Application Virtualization is a terrific tool for presenting and sharing information, and its storage capacity is also excellent. Installing and centrally administering specialized apps to control who has access to it is one of the features I value most about this software. It also provides a separate UI for tracking the app's accesses. This program is not suitable for freelancers or clients that operate alone.

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.

• Access from the web browser without having to install an agent or a VPN.
• Can be used on personal devices since the data is not stored on the device.
• No risk of data loss since the information never leaves the company network.

• Install Software based on AD group assignment
• Safely and quickly uninstall from devices
• Updating is a bit more difficult but manageable.

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.

The Kasm support team is always responsive to our questions. They interact with us directly, even as a small customer. They also notify us of software updates and check in on our usage of the software.

APP-V is no longer a supported technology and is on the way out, only on legacy support at this time. The changes in security emphasis in windows, as well as the changes in software development have meant that APP-V is no longer able to correctly package software. It has been superseded by the MSIX format and distribution via the Microsoft Store for Business.

Kasm is alot more cost effective than Citrix or VMWare. We wanted an on-premise solution to provide remote access to our internal network resources. The Citrix and VMware solutions require significantly more hardware to run, since Kasm runs on a Linux server as containers and each of the images run as a small container. The licenses were significantly less expensive for Kasm too.

Microsoft Teams is included in our current Office 365 product set; therefore, there is no additional fee to use the application. It saves our company money by not having to pay for Slack or another internal chat service. For us, Microsoft Teams has a better user experience and product features. Teams' usability is higher than Slack's since it has access to OneDrive, email, and OneNote applications. Screen sharing, chat, and file-sharing operate smoothly, and the performance appears great.

V2 is user friendly and easy to manage.

• Increased productivity by enabling a remote workforce.
• Allows work from any location or any device.

• Some applications may be slower
• Interaction between several applications can be better

• Improves efficiency.
• I would say that it will save me money on hardware.
• I do not think overall it will save much money.
