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.

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.

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.

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.

if you're having a testing team that works on testing load for various scenarios, as we have here, dev, test, quality & 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.

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.

  1. Users with older machines and when the IT department is facing the crunch in procuring the actual system due to ongoing pandemic.
  2. Users with more computing power can use these machines, which can work at better speeds and give out better results and faster speed.
  3. If the end user internet is not perfect that is it is low speed or ping then it is not recommended to use these systems

When I need to connect virtually know Azure Virtual Desktop is there for me to use and connect to my application. We have multiple apps in our environment. Room for growth in the future as well and a system that gets patched and updated frequently without any issues or problems.

As per the project requirement, we are developing an app in the .Net framework, building the ML model in the python framework. Azure Virtual Desktop provides the management of different frameworks of apps in an easy way. Even we can scale up the node VM based on workload. Better to manage the different types of environments in a single umbrella. Need to improve the interactive UI in the Azure Virtual Desktop portal.

Azur Windows Virtual Desktop is well-suited for users familiar with windows 10 and migrating from a monolithic architecture to cloud services. There is a fast adoption of Azure Windows Virtual Desktop by enterprise clients encouraging mini start-ups to accelerate with Azure Windows Virtual Desktop cloud services as they scale their businesses.

Everything we have done with Azure Windows Virtual Desktop is well suited for our company's environment. We use it on a wide range of products and applications. As I said in the previous answers, Azure Windows Virtual Desktop is used for Windows 10 builds, Office 365, and has multiple functions our company uses. It is a great product.

I think that the best case to use [Azure] Windows Virtual Desktop is when you have multiple servers that you need to access quickly and efficiently. The ability to save and access the remote computers from anywhere quickly definitely has enhanced my productivity and I would definitely recommend it to a colleague. If you want to use this for personal use, it's not as effective because of the complex installation.
