Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Desktops
This was used in an organisation which I was working for, using a client-server architecture. This led to a more consistent environment and prevented *snowflake* desktops, which could be hard to diagnose issues on and provide support for. This also increased security and ultimately ended up saving a significant amount money for the company.
- Standardisation where provisioning the environment became repeatable and predictable.
- Easier debugging and understanding the client system.
- Improved security and centrally managed.
- Ran into a regression when updating firmware for IGEL
- Desktop froze and became non responsive on a few occasions.
- Server crashed and took down all the clients in the Thin setup.
- Positive effect in that it saves money on support and debugging client machines.
- Faster to fix bugs and debug user issues.
- Amazon WorkSpaces
- Red Hat Enterprise is more expensive but better supported when it comes to support.
- Amazon WorkSpaces had more online documentation and resources to scan through.
