User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	NVIDIA Nvidia GRID is the only real ready-made hardware solution available for streaming game services, 3D graphics acceleration in Virtual Desktop Infrastructures, and 3D enhanced streaming apps. Grid is also great for processing large quantities of small data-sets, such as financial, trading, science, astronomy, and much more. Grid is also well known for digital currency mining, such as Bitcoin. Incentivized Craig Nash Sr. Network Architect Read full review	Alludo 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	NVIDIA Streaming Game Services. Dedicated graphics processing form virtual desktop infrastructures, allowing the use of Photoshop, CAD, Video Editing, and more. Enhanced computing & processing of data thay consists of large amounts of smaller data sets. Financial based calculations. Incentivized Craig Nash Sr. Network Architect Read full review	Alludo The most fully featured HTML "remote app" experience Very extensive SSO / MFA support (for example : Azure AD) Multitenant capability Multiscreen capability Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	NVIDIA The cost for Nvidia GRID capable hardware is still very high, but is & has been dropping fairly rapidly. Latency is a large problem for "interaction" based systems (Gaming, remote desktop use) and requires high-speed data, and hosting close to the client. No real solutions for smaller businesses, but cloud hosting providers like SoftLayer are beginning to offer affordable hosted grid-capable environments. Incentivized Craig Nash Sr. Network Architect Read full review	Alludo 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.

Alternatives Considered	NVIDIA Nvidia invented the graphics processor, and continues to provide high quality products, even in a new industry Incentivized Craig Nash Sr. Network Architect Read full review	Alludo 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) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	NVIDIA Allows us to simplify all of our VDI designs, as power users can be managed like all other cloud users, instead of requiring individual systems. Provides a way of offering a substantial processing increase for computing/calculations over and above what additional CPUs could offers. Offers the only "ready-made" solution for on-demand gaming services, after Sony purchased OnLive, and provides an affordable method for startups to enter the Industry. Incentivized Craig Nash Sr. Network Architect Read full review	Alludo 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
