- Quick and Easy deployment
- Managment and maintenance handled by help desk saving resources .(i.e. Senior Analyst)

No other product was able to virtualize 16 bits apps for us.

Unidesk - Simplify your VDI
Right now, I'm using Unidesk for a set number of machines and I'm using all persistent desktops. My major business problem being solved is reducing the number of images from several to just two (a Windows 7 32-bit and Windows 64-bit) and providing a quick easy solution for deploying applications that do not work with other application virtualization products.
- Delivers the majority of applications without issue
- Unified console for managing all aspects of Virtual Desktop management
- User layer on a persistent desktop provide an easy profile solution
- Layers provides the ability to reduce down to 1 Gold Image
- No more interacting with Hyper-V, RDS or vCenter
- Speeds up application turn around time
- I would love if the User Layer persisted on non-persistent desktops
- A better experience for the actual assigning of applications and desktops (improvements to the console)
- Partner with a vendor that provides a legacy browser solution
- Image management and updating is now much quicker, time saved
- Application 'packaging' is required a lot less, which saves a lot of money
- Unidesks customer service is the best that I have worked with. PERIOD!
- AppVolumes and FlexApp
AppVolumes seems to be a lot less mature as a product. It does have some benefits over Unidesk e.g. the fact it doesn't include the OS Layer (image management) side means I can just use it for the app layering piece if I like. I can also deploy my application layers to physical desktops BUT I have had less success compatibility wise with my applications as AppVolumes 'AppStacks'. I believe Unidesk has a better handle on the do's and don'ts, or at least may be a little more honest about them. I also don't enjoy the Console with AppVolumes and while I can use it without the image management or tied into the stack the way Unidesk is...you also lose that image management and need to couple it with another product in some scenarios.
FlexApp to me is stronger than AppVolumes. FlexApp is coupled with a profile management solution called ProfileUnity which makes it a more attractive alternative (at least at the time of me posting this). However, I prefer other UEM products at this moment in time. I also value the image management and ease of a single console for all of Virt Desktop management that Unidesk provides.
