- Windows Remote client can be improved
- Secure Access (Identity management by Azure, including MFA and other security measures)
- Scalability (scale up or down servers depending on the load of the systems)
- Licensing Structure is very clear
- While it is PaaS it would be nice to have some monitoring insights into some parts of the offering
- Migrating user sessions from one host to another (to be able to downscale) would be awesome
- It would be nice to have a more seamless deployment of FSLogix in a AVD Enviroment

Super fast and maintenance free
- Better computing power
- Configurable System and as per team needs configuration can be added or removed at ease
- Internet Connectivity within the cloud system is way better than our home / office internet connections
- No heating issues on personal machines, leaving all the worry on actual data center machines
- Only issue is this system requires high ping speeds on client end so that screen from cloud is received to client side, if not then we see a lag in screen from virtual desktop
- If someone from admin changes some configuration for a group, it is reflected on every machine, more control should be given to end user to atleast restart the system or restore the system to its previous state

- Brings your own image for production workloads or test from the Azure Gallery
- Reduces costs with pooled, multi-session resources.
- With the new Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session capability exclusive to Windows Virtual Desktop and Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) role on Windows Server, you can greatly reduce the number of virtual machines and operating system (OS) overhead while still providing the same resources to your users.
- Use the Azure portal, Windows Virtual Desktop PowerShell and REST interfaces to configure the host pools, create app groups, assign users, and publish resources.
- Publish full desktop or individual remote apps from a single host pool, create individual app groups for different sets of users, or even assign users to multiple app groups to reduce the number of images.
- As we manage our environment, we use built-in delegated access to assign roles and collect diagnostics to understand various configuration or user errors.
- We use the new Diagnostics service to troubleshoot errors.
