Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) still the best
The biggest advantage of Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) is the isolation technique. You can easily publish multiple versions of an application together without any issue.
With the publishing server infrastructure you can easily manage your packages and deploy them to several workstations and servers. With Microsoft Configuration Manager you can deploy them to mobile workspaces too.
It’s still better then MSI-X!

"Microsoft Application Virtualization is a candid and excellent method of delivering apps to users."
I preferred the Microsoft Virtualization program since it was simple to use and performed well on our PC. Everyone in our company uses Microsoft Teams. Using it is an excellent advantage! While running many other apps consuming a noteworthy amount of memory, I had no issues with this application. It has made it simpler for us to communicate with our coworkers without sending lengthy emails or making phone conversations. There is no need to set up an online meeting like Zoom or GoToMeeting for an easy call or team meeting with video calling. It is a modest tool for installing and has a unique interface that allows us to monitor and follow up on application accesses. Microsoft Teams enable us to connect with individuals all around the world from a specific platform. There is a free trial and a candid deployment process.
- It's incredibly customizable, integrates with Microsoft 365, and allows you to screen share with colleagues without even phoning them!
- Call quality is excellent, and the user interface is basic and intuitive enough that there is no need for any training.
- The user interface (UI) is quite professional, and it makes it simple to identify and operate the many features. And we record all of our meetings using Microsoft Teams as well.
- In my opinion, it's an excellent file-sharing application, and the ability to change the theme to dark is a personal preference.
- Microsoft Teams does not offer an electronic hand rising feature, nor does it include news.
- Screen mirroring is not available in Microsoft Teams, and it consumes a significant amount of storage space.
- The remote control features are inefficient, and it could use a little more integration with other software.

- The ability for all users to share the same license and communicate more effectively within the company is a significant benefit.
- Improved digital collaboration and a reduction in redundant emails have a positive impact on efficiency.
- People can edit files at any moment, which is more efficient because they can share documents.
- There are many advantages to using the web conferencing product over other web conferencing tools, including keeping and editing files at any time.
Microsoft Teams is included in our current Office 365 product set; therefore, there is no additional fee to use the application. It saves our company money by not having to pay for Slack or another internal chat service. For us, Microsoft Teams has a better user experience and product features. Teams' usability is higher than Slack's since it has access to OneDrive, email, and OneNote applications. Screen sharing, chat, and file-sharing operate smoothly, and the performance appears great.

App-V Great Service, but superseded by MSIX
We use Microsoft APP-V to simplify our software deployment to over 7500 systems across 120 sites. It is integral to our operating system and software deployment, as we have over 175 pieces of software the need to be put on both staff and student machines. Prior to implementing APP-V our golden image needed to manage those 175 pieces of software and we found that software updating regularly meant that our image went out of date quickly.
- Install Software based on AD group assignment
- Safely and quickly uninstall from devices
- Updating is a bit more difficult but manageable.
- Complicated software installs of interacting software needs significant care
- Updating software requires a pristine virtual machine to update a packager
- No longer being updated so new software practices aren't correctly captured.

- Faster turn around for using Operating System Deployment as a solution to complex problems
- Maintain software versioning up to date
- Requires dedicated software packaging support
APP-V is able to do the majority of software packages for internal organization use, but when you get to a program that is space and resource intensive, moving to EMCO MSI Package Builder will allow you to capture the entire install process as well as any complex configurations needed for file locations, save directories, or the registry.
