Virtual Desktop Heaven
The most important reason to select the Azure Virtual Desktop solution for our client was the cloud infrastructure. We had already switched the Azure Active Directory with many other Servers as Virtual Machines in the Azure platform as well as total Office 365 implementation. Azure Virtual Desktop.was the obvious next step for clients' needs.
- Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS)
For us Parallels RAS is still more a "onpremise" solution, with Azure Virtual Desktop we can really leverage the power of the cloud.
We can spin up additional hosts if the load is too high and spin down hosts in the night to cut costs. Not being bound to onpremise hardware makes this extremely flexible.
Seeing as most of our customers already have a M365 license that includes Azure Virtual Desktop licensing it doesn't cost us additional CAL's for Parallels RAS

Azure Virtual Desktop
This is primary virtualization tool I have used. Have experience with VMWare suite and this has similar features and ease of use. Pricing was slightly lower and one of the factors. We also use Azure for our M365 deployment and was a easier carry over to stay in the Microsoft family.
The above-mentioned are only single-purpose software and no doubt they do the job but, AVD itself is a whole suit of services. easy use of UI makes it a greater choice among others. the best thing about AVD is the ability to let multiple users connect rather than one instance for the user that is usually the case with alternatives
We also tested Nutanix Frame and VMware Horizon Cloud, but it turned out that using Nerdio together with Azure Virtual Desktop is the best combination that is saving us a lot of time (for setup, configuration, and management), but also with this combination we are also saving a lot of money for Azure resources.

Never Disappoints
I have not used any other services similar to Azure Virtual Desktop. I have only seen demos and videos but have not tried them or tried implementing them into our environment at the office. I know there are plenty of options available but security is our biggest concern to us

Better suits for Microsoft Azure platform
We moved most of our workflow to Microsoft
Azure and it is wise to choose AVD and It very well suits for virtual environment requirements and application
access.
- Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly XenApp)
It is better manageability of the resources to reduce the cost. Easy to configure the virtual desktop and access anywhere at any time. Autoscale up the VM on high demands time and then reduce it automatically. Azure Virtual Desktop provides the best security to our application without any data losses at any conditions.
All exploring options for virtual desktops, Azure Windows Virtual Desktop, has a significant advantage with ease of use as most users are familiar with the windows operating system. This makes it possible for any user to do their best work, and with Azure Windows Virtual Desktop without being tied to a physical desktop.

Virtual Possibilities
- Azure SQL Database, Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Microsoft Intune + SCCM), About Shoviv PST to Office 365 Migration, Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery, Trend Micro Apex One (formerly OfficeScan), Ivanti Endpoint Security for Endpoint Manager and powered by Landesk
They are all part of my company's environment.

Great value
I think that the cloud based [Azure] Windows Virtual Desktop is the future and sets the precedent for how these should be configured in the future. I've used cheap options and other more expensive options, but VD is the best when compared to Citrix or freeware. I would recommend it to anyone over these.
Azure Lab Services is excellent for small scale classes but once you reach a particular density or need to serve entire school or district level resources you need to move into WVD.
