The tool is very scalable. We can add and delete objects from the environment easily. We have approximately 500 users.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is straightforward. It is easy to deploy. Microsoft provides the necessary documentation, including detailed steps to install and configure the servers. The deployment process can be improved. It can be made more easier.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The tool must be cheaper. It should provide an option to pay the license fee once in a year or once in two years.

What other advice do I have?

We don't use any support because we can easily find online documents to solve our issues. I recommend that everybody use the product. If any company wants to share one computer’s resources with many users, they can choose Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy. The deployment took 10 minutes. I can do the deployment myself. The deployment was not very hard because the tool is part of Windows.
