Azure Virtual Desktop Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Citrix Desktop license become costly and not reliable in our infrastructure. Primary used this to solve the secure remote access and terminal desktops for external users.

Likelihood to Recommend

Remote/terminal Desktop access which is core function/usage we wanted. We don't want to install app on users devices and wanted to sperate the data/network from public to private. Which AVD provide that solution for Remote access and remote application for external users or VPN users.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We leverage AVD for all non-persistent desktops, this allows us to follow our cloud first strategy, this is leveraged in US-East region and support users globally.

Likelihood to Recommend

This is a good product to get virtual desktops into the cloud and for use with non-persistent desktops.

There are better options available if you need persistent desktop's.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a MSP we are always looking for the most performand and most secure solution to provide our customers the ability to work from anywhere. With Azure Virtual Desktop we have a secure and streamlined solution to do so. Because a lot of the technical implementation is now handled by Microsoft itself (PaaS) it has become even less cumbersome to deploy a new AVD environment within minutes instead of hours/days

Likelihood to Recommend

Currently Azure Virtual Desktop enviroments are our first choice for all customers. Especially because most of our customers already have a M365 License which includes Azure Virtual Desktop usage.

We deploy it for both RemoteApp and Full desktop solutions. This gives us the flexibility to "lift and shift" a specific workload of more legacy customers towards the cloud and provide them with a secure solution to use their apps in the cloud from anywhere.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I need to access the client-server system to install our application and check on that. For our product, we have to give a virtual machine to each client by which we can access that as a server.

Likelihood to Recommend

There is a process where we have to create/access the client-server to run the application. For each client, we need to follow the process, and it is really user-friendly to work on. Sometimes the connection breaks down suddenly, but it is rarely happening.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented the Azure VD solution to create a secure, resilient, and reliable environment for our users' ERP needs. In our case, they use SAGE. We deployed over 50 VMs and can scale them easily depending on the client's needs. The fact that users can access any computing device including tablets and Macintosh is another plus.

Likelihood to Recommend

The pay-as-you-go model was one of the best features for our clients as their user numbers can scale up or down depending on the season. Being in the cloud, the Virtual Desktop solution helps us to cope easier with our remote users as well as partner or guest accounts as it is very easy to deploy secure environments for them.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Was able to scale up several environments in short order with little effort. Used Azure Virtual Desktop to spin up 100's of desktops in hours, this would take days or weeks to do with physical hardware. Was also able to leverage built in monitoring tools to keep eye on the VD's. Great product

Likelihood to Recommend

Securely access work applications regardless of where user is. Able to rapidly deploy 100s of desktops for a change in remote work. This saved us significant cost on physical hardware and speed up security process. We had users accessing the new environments in hours vs days. Was no impact to operations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Azure Virtual Desktop or AVD on large scale as a Common Shared desktop to showcase our test builds to end users. as we have a large team, we used separate instances for all builds. Azure Virtual Desktop played a vital role in removing this bottleneck. now we use a single AVD desktop for all the testing.

Likelihood to Recommend

if you're having a testing team that works on testing load for various scenarios, as we have here, dev, test, quality &amp; production build. this is an ideal use case to implement AVD, especially if you're staff is all work from home. they will just require AVD and they're ready to go.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Azure Virtual Desktop or AVD is widely used in our company for multiple purposes and by multiple users. Used from IT Admins for admin\jump servers, used from permanent employees when their hardware is late for delivery, used from externals\contractors that temporarily used company resources, and used as a single (dedicated) host scenario or multi-user environment when we can optimize the resources in use. With advanced resources management, we can manage our resources even better and save a lot of company money.

Likelihood to Recommend

Easy to configure, establish and provide resources to users. A really good option when a golden image needs to be prepared and used from the next provisioned host, but also easy to update and provision additional hosts for the next users. Host decommission or removing access to the resources is easy and can be done by all levels of IT employees.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used to allow every user authorised access to the organisation’s information assets from anywhere through authorised company devices

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for businesses that want to adopt remote working without losing control of its information assets as the data is centrally managed.
