Nerdio, Inc
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.

Considering Oracle VDI is not supported by Oracle anymore, and will not receive any future updates, I wouldn't recommend Oracle VDI for most scenarios. Unless your organization is under some strict contractual agreement or there is a feature in Oracle VDI that isn't supported in its modern successors/competitors (haven't come across a feature like that based on my experience), I would recommend using something like VMware Horizon.

Cons
Nerdio, Inc
  • 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 :(

Usability
Nerdio, Inc
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

From the end user's perspective the usability is not impacted at all.

The easiest way to describe the performance is like this - when it is working, it works almost flawlessly. When it starts freezing, your day is going to get very interesting very quickly. As I have stated earlier, I used it for one purpose, and it did what I needed it to most of the time, but I did have issues with it.

Alternatives Considered
Nerdio, Inc
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.

VMware Horizon does everything that Oracle VDI is capable of doing and offers many more features, and unlike Oracle VDI, it is still receiving constant updates. Oracle VDI was a great solution for enterprise-level management of virtualized desktop when it was getting updates, but now that it won't be getting any, I would put it in the "outdated technology" category.

Return on Investment
Nerdio, Inc
  • 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.

Oracle
  • Pricing Models were harsh to begin with, so we invested more money on the license than we needed to.
  • Due to all of the laggy, buggy, and crashing interfaces, our administrators spent considerable additional time working on simple operations.
  • We missed out on many advanced features that Oracle VDI's competitors were rolling out, so we couldn't benefit from them.
