A stable solution that is easy to install, manage, and upgrade
Nutanix Frame has significantly improved our desktop deployment cycles. There is a box specifically for desktop and VDI purposes, and its performance is really amazing. The most important thing is that the solution's implementation is very easy. Nutanix Frame is amazing for IOPS, and you cannot compare it with traditional architecture. Initially, we found some compatibility issues because Nutanix has its own hypervisor, which was incompatible with many backup software. Now, all the software and backup software support Nutanix, and there's no issue in the market. Nutanix Frame is a highly secured solution because, by default, the box comes with encryption. Whatever hard drives you have is already encrypted. I had cases with some customers where the environment was compromised, but nothing happened to the solution. The solution's deployment model is based on the requirement and compliance issues. Nutanix Frame can be deployed on-premises or on the cloud based on the customer's requirement. You can also have the solution in the cloud with a single license. You don't need a separate license to deploy it on the cloud. We have implemented the solution in the government, private, and banking sectors. Choosing Nutanix Frame depends on your business priority, customer requirement, size of the environment, and current investment. They can go with additional architecture if they have invested enough with the current storage. If they plan to do the tech refresh for the storage in the future, I suggest going with Nutanix Frame. It will make their life easy in terms of management and compliance. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Accessing the same desktop experience from anywhere but user template creation needs improvement
Mostly we are quite happy with it. However, some of us want a more powerful desktop. When not present, we use a remote tool called Splashtop, which is a good solution for some users. We have about ten licenses for those who need a powerful workstation at the office. We have not used many different tools. We are never in contact with Microsoft. These are quite basic configurations, to be honest. It's not complicated. AI is coming to or is already in some applications we are using. Not system-wise, however, it might be good. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. It's quite good, yet certainly not perfect.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The scalability of the solution is quite good."

"The performance meets our requirements and the stability is good."
"The solution is really fast."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is the ability to remote into a system that is not on-premises."

Hi there,  I use TeamViewer which works. The client needs to download at their end "Teamviewer-Host" which is free.  Your support end needs to pay for the number of devices you want to fix. Go to piratebay10.org (if you wish) and search for it i.e. specifically version 15.  Regards, I.
