Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using a VDI infrastructure for nearly 10 years now.
The challenge has always been the struggle between a golden image, the different needs by users and how to deliver a proper desktop profile on that in the most cost effective way.

VMWare Dynamic Environment Manager is a tool that delivers on the user profile part and is free to use with a VMware Horizon license.
In our scenario we used the tool to complement our VMware Horizon VDI deployment.

Pros and Cons

Combining different Microsoft settings in a single pane.
Straightforward tool
Privilege elevation for apps

You cannot prefill on a per user basis
Configuration can become quitte big

Likelihood to Recommend

VMWare Dynamic environment manager is best suited in a situation where you have a dedicated admin to configure all the complex settings/scenario's for the user experience. Where you have a limited ammount of user profiles and the tooling is less favorable when you want your users to have alot of personal influence on the settings.

Most Important Features

Ability to manage all settings from one pane.
No extra cost
Part of a larger VDI solution

Return on Investment

Takes less time to deploy new users
Administring takes less time as all tools seperated
Perfect for a Keep IT Simple Stupid VDI strategy.

Alternatives Considered

Unidesk (Discontinued)

This is not a real 1 vs 1 comparison. Both manage the user profile in a different way. Unidesk (Citrix app layering) is a great way to provide a golden image with extra applications and store personal settings. You still need tools like Group Policies (preferences) to control the user profile settings while Dynamic Enviroment Manager is more comming from these settings to complement the user profile.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

VMware VMware Dynamic Environment Manager was great addition of VMware Horizon which we establish when Covid pandemic started. As any other companies, we also had users with laptops and desktops, but everyone located in office spaces and as was impossible to purchase such a big number of laptop for desktop users, we needed to establish solution like VMware Horizon and give users opportunity to connect to work resources.

Pros and Cons

VMware Horizon
User Profiles settings
User Profiles files
User Profiles redirection

Simplicity
Configuration documentation

Likelihood to Recommend

VMware Dynamic Environment Manager is excellent addition of VMware products and is very well suited for User profiles (settings, files, configuration) redirection when users connect to dedicated or shared hosts. It also offers good set of features for Windows OS configuration and customization for multiple users. Place for improvement, simplicity for configuration.
