Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) still the best
Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
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!
Pros
- Fast
- Easy to manage
- Easy to deploy
Cons
- Unfortunately it will be replaced by MSIX
Likelihood to Recommend
For remote workers you can easily deploy packages without headaches. In general, when a vulnerability is found in an application, after you have updated your Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) package, you can quickly deploy the new version in less then a hour
