Overall Satisfaction with Azure Windows Virtual Desktop

The Azure Windows Virtual Desktop is being used by your organization in the following ways:
Build multi-session Windows 10 deployment that delivers a full Windows 10 with scalability. Virtualize Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. Manage Windows 10, Windows Server, and Windows 7 desktops and apps with a unified management experience.
  • You can publish as many host pools as you need to accommodate your diverse workloads
  • Brings your own image for production workloads or test from the Azure Gallery
  • Reduces costs with pooled, multi-session resources.
  • With the new Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session capability exclusive to Windows Virtual Desktop and Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) role on Windows Server, you can greatly reduce the number of virtual machines and operating system (OS) overhead while still providing the same resources to your users.
  • Use the Azure portal, Windows Virtual Desktop PowerShell and REST interfaces to configure the host pools, create app groups, assign users, and publish resources.
  • Publish full desktop or individual remote apps from a single host pool, create individual app groups for different sets of users, or even assign users to multiple app groups to reduce the number of images.
  • As we manage our environment, we use built-in delegated access to assign roles and collect diagnostics to understand various configuration or user errors.
  • We use the new Diagnostics service to troubleshoot errors.
  • Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise
  • Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and Windows Server desktops and apps to any computer
  • Management of Servers an applications.
  • Reduce costs with pooled, multi-session resources.
They are all part of my company's environment.

Everything we have done with Azure Windows Virtual Desktop is well suited for our company's environment. We use it on a wide range of products and applications. As I said in the previous answers, Azure Windows Virtual Desktop is used for Windows 10 builds, Office 365, and has multiple functions our company uses. It is a great product.
