A cost-effective and streamlined virtual desktop infrastructure solution with a user-friendly interface and simplified management
The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency. The simplicity of the management tools is a key highlight, especially when compared to other solutions like Citrix, where there is often complexity due to various components such as controllers, storefronts, and different servers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"The thin image offers efficiency and stability for the system, which is not always available in other alternatives."
"The solution has data leak prevention features that ensure data is not copied from the base machine to VDI, and API copyright capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the clone variant. We have been using the linked clone for the past five years, but I am willing to support and take on the function of the instant cloud."
"We use VMware Horizon to digitalize environments."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Horizon 7 is its ease of use."
"We are happy with the interface, configurations, pricing and support."
"Horizon 7's most valuable feature is the unified endpoint management."
"We use VMware Horizon to provide remote access for remote users."
 

Cons

"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
"The solution can be made faster and it should improve performance wise."
"It would be highly beneficial if they could offer a version that is entirely on-premises, eliminating the need for cloud connection except for data access."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The remote application features have some room for improvement."
"Along with the high pricing, the profile synchronization mechanism also needs improvement."
"More ready-to-deploy templates should be available. Because they are not included, a lot of configuration is required."
"VMware has purchased by Dell, they started to remove a lot of their support for non-Intel hardware and that's a bit of a problem. They dropped a lot of support for hardware that people commonly use and it just so happened that this hardware is not Intel. It makes it difficult to get assistance."
"It would be beneficial to see improvements in client-side functionalities, especially for some Linux clients."
"In the area of automation, there are some improvements needed in the solution."
"In the next release, I would like to have more support when optimizing the master templates for PDI. There are tools that are available to be used but they are not supported at the moment and are more, "use at your own risk.""
"The solution’s stability and initial setup could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a cost-effective option with comparable functionality to competitors."
"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
"The pricing of the solution is very good."
"The licensing is based on the number of users of the solution."
"The VMware Horizon 7 license is for three months. We are in the testing stage, we are still evaluating the product. We are sure now that we need to buy a license for the production environment."
"Horizon 7 is cheaper than some competitors, like Citrix, because it includes solutions for the server side, the VDI side, and the hypervisor side."
"The solution's pricing depends on certain factors. It would be best if you know which components you are looking for, as you may have other hardware costs. It is recommended if users want to use the VMware HPE as the hypervisor."
"VMware Horizon is priced high."
"VMware Horizon View's licensing cost is not expensive."
"We are happy with the price."
"The price of VMware Horizon 7 is more than some other solutions."
"There is a monthly subscription for the use of this solution and it is expensive."
