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.

Secure remote access has protected sensitive country data and supports strict compliance needs
I understand from the IT team managing Microsoft Remote Desktop Services that it is complex to set up the multiple roles, certificates, and networks required. Networking is quite complicated. Even though on the data center side it is quite simple, maintaining the farm of other connections that connect to that server is the complex piece. I understand there are more modern systems replicating what this solution does, which are easier to use, such as Azure Virtual Desktop within Microsoft Azure Cloud or Amazon WorkSpaces, which I have used before. Rather than having to manage all the complex networking, you could abstract it away a little further in the cloud for easier use. I also understand that this tool is in an end-of-life state now, with Microsoft actively pushing people towards Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365. I do not believe further features will be rolled out due to its end-of-life state, making it a legacy solution now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"The user experience is quite good."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services has led to measurable improvements in faster response times and increased productivity for my team as I work in a team that is spread across different time zones, and having access to remote desktop enables us to collaborate across those time zones."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services positively impacts my organization because it makes the job and work easier for all."
"The advice I would give to others looking into using Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is to use it out of the box as it is one of the best and most valuable tools on the market."
"We chose this solution because it's a Microsoft Cloud and end-to-end all solution, Cloud 365, and it's all Microsoft, so it made sense to stay with the same VDI solution."
"The solution is stable."
"It allows employees to log on to corporate resources remotely."
"The most valuable features are the desktop session and desktop virtualization."
"I have found Microsoft Remote Desktop Services to be stable."
 

Cons

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services could improve by having a better application for managing multiple sessions. There used to be one but they stopped supporting it."
"The performance of Remote Desktop Services could be better."
"It's not as reliable a protocol as, for example, Citrix."
"I think Microsoft Remote Desktop Services can be improved regarding licensing, which is a nightmare, and the shadow of Azure Virtual Desktop."
"The only problem I see is that when I am connected, there is a certain lag because of the network."
"It would be helpful if there was a feature that notifies you when the internet is down so you're not working for nothing, it should be something that pops right up where you can see it."
"The administrative functionality is not enough for me."
"There is a limitation on the number of concurrent users. The limitation is 20, and you have to spin up more than one server, which is not needed at this stage because of customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is based on the number of users of the solution."
"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
"It is a cost-effective option with comparable functionality to competitors."
"The pricing of the solution is very good."
"It will probably cost about $500 USD to get the resources set up in the cloud."
"The solution is expensive. Since things are made to be a bit easier in the solution, the solution's cost is a bit on the higher side."
"I rate the price of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services a three out of five."
"There is a licensing cost."
"The solution has a perpetual license and it is purchased upfront."
"The cost of the solution is low."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution has a pretty comparable pricing."

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.
