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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Azure Virtual Desktop has been a game changer in terms of performance delivering with reduced cost to company, my IT department were having different computer machines with lower computing power. With Azure virtual desktop we were having a flexibility to use more powerful system with enhanced memory and CPU power on the same machine with lower configuration. It reduced the cost to buy a new equipment and the power which was delivered way better than the actual systems in the teams with higher configurations. Launching and supporting application which required more resources is now a cake walk

We have our applications hosted via the cloud and the Azure Virtual Desktop makes it more streamlined for us to access multiple applications at once. Able to set different permissions for different users. There are many other similar programs but I say from a Microsoft environment this one is the best one. Integrates with our system

In our organization, we are using the Azure Virtual Desktop for deploying the .Net and python application for the different environments, e.g., Development, SIT, UAT, Performance testing. It will help us to manage the different environments in an effective manner. Our team members can access this kind of different environment desktop at easy way and anywhere.

I daily use Azure Windows Virtual Desktop within my organization in order to reach our customer's network. The ability to have a virtual desktop that resides on their network allows me to access all of the information quickly and securely after authentication. This has extremely shortened the amount of time that it takes to get the things I need.

Windows Virtual Desktop has a couple of main uses in our organization.

  1. The first use explored was to provide existing curriculum materials and software from Windows devices on to the explosion of growth in the use of Chromebooks.
  2. Second was to be able to provide a truly robust experience for students to learn the intricacies of using higher end software that requires 3d Acceleration such as the Autodesk or Adobe Creative Suites.
  3. Finally, it allowed a quick transition for our pandemic related learning at home.
