OCI Virtual Desktop vs. Vagon Teams

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.

I cannot recommend Vagon to any person or company. My advice is to completely avoid this option, as there are better options.

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

• Frequent disconnects causing me to have to reboot my server.
• Can be laggy at times.
• Freezes regularly.

• To start with, Vagon should respond to support emails.
• Vagon should stop its predatory practices of forcing the high-tier plan on the customer and locking them into that, then ignoring support emails about it.

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.

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of virtualized desktop when it was getting updates, but now that it won't be getting any, I would put it in the "outdated technology" category.

I have used other virtual desktops including Google Cloud desktops, Paperspace, and Microsoft Azure desktops. Vagon was easier to use but it was terrible service and experience.

• 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.
