OCI Virtual Desktop vs. V2 Cloud

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.

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.

• Providing desktop operating system virtualization is way more manageable using this Oracle suite.
• It has a robust security infrastructure and provides great audit trails.

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 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.

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of virtualized desktop when it was getting updates, but now that it won't be getting any, I would put it in the "outdated technology" category.

V2 is user friendly and easy to manage.

• 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.

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