Overall Satisfaction with Azure Virtual Desktop

Azure Virtual Desktop has been a game changer in terms of performance delivering with reduced cost to company, my IT department were having different computer machines with lower computing power. With Azure virtual desktop we were having a flexibility to use more powerful system with enhanced memory and CPU power on the same machine with lower configuration. It reduced the cost to buy a new equipment and the power which was delivered way better than the actual systems in the teams with higher configurations. Launching and supporting application which required more resources is now a cake walk
  • 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
  • Higher Computer power without needing to buy actual hardware
  • Secure data storage for sensitive data, we don't have to worry about the security aspects on every single machine
  • Easy to configure and re configure based on the teams requirement
  • Though this virtual desktop had its cost but it is better in the longer run as we dont need to upgrade our not much older machines
  • Only concern is we need to make sure that we provide better internet connection at all time
  • The productivity has gone up multifold since previously we used to struggle with our older machines capacity to process data

  1. Users with older machines and when the IT department is facing the crunch in procuring the actual system due to ongoing pandemic.
  2. Users with more computing power can use these machines, which can work at better speeds and give out better results and faster speed.
  3. If the end user internet is not perfect that is it is low speed or ping then it is not recommended to use these systems
