    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.

    Multiple capabilities that VMware Cloud Foundation on IBM Cloud provides are excellent and very much involved in secure data migration and management, easy to monitor server performance and the virtual capability is on top and the data analytics using the platform are provided in real-time and the reports are the most useful, especially on the critical situations within the business development.

    Cons
    Nerdio, Inc

    • Disk space seems a little expensive too :(

    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

    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.
