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.

In situations where we didn't need to pass through local disks, we found Awingu to be a good fit. Especially the multiscreen options in an HTML5 browser are pretty unique to them. The extensive options to do MFA are also very user-friendly.

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 :(

  • Being only/mainly an HTML5 solution some resources can't be passed through (file shares)
  • Publishing apps to local desktops would be nicer if there was a "add to desktop" shortcut.

Usability
Nerdio, Inc
Nerdio's UI, and technology are ever evolving, and becoming more useful as time progresses. There's a ton of video trainings to bring folks up to speed on our internal team. It's intuitive, and the links to the corresponding blades in Azure are super helpful. Most of the automated tasks return usable errors when failed, which is helpful

We moved to this solution when there was only a limited number of vendors offering this type of work environment... and after talking to colleagues who initially selected other vendors, they were happy to make the switch to AdarIT/Nerdio.

Awingu has more features in its HTML5 offering, which is the main advantage it has. Parallels RAS also has a local application which gives it some additional features (passing through drives)

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.

  • Users picked up the new way of using the CRM right away, no long process to migrate to the new system
  • Almost no support cases when switching to Awingu
