Hamada Farag - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Terje Romen - PeerSpot reviewer
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

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

Pros

"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"The solution works well as a remote desktop."
"It's simple to set up."
"The product saves time."
"We use cloud remote support because we need to assist our customers. It allows them to connect from the web. I"
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"You can scale the product."
"The solution is easy to deploy and there are many features available that you can turn on or off depending on your budget."
 

Cons

"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 can be made faster and it should improve performance wise."
"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 stability could be improved."
"Its look and feel could be updated. In Azure Remote Desktop Services (RDS), which is a VDI solution, we would like to see linked clones. It is a Hyper-V solution, and it doesn't support linked clones and uses a lot of storage. That's why we don't use it. VMware has a similar solution that supports linked clones for the master image."
"For Microsoft, maybe bandwidth optimization is one of the areas that need improvement."
"The price is too high."
"We encounter challenges with portability, especially for users of iOS devices."
"I rate Microsoft's customer service support a two out of ten. In general, Microsoft has poor support."
"The solution isn't as good as the Citrix option."
"It could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
"The licensing is based on the number of users of the solution."
"The pricing of the solution is very good."
"It is a cost-effective option with comparable functionality to competitors."
"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."
"The pricing could always be improved."
"I am aware that for Azure we do have an extra license because we are leveraging on different tenants."
"The price of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is reasonable."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services comes free as part of Microsoft Windows."
"It will probably cost about $500 USD to get the resources set up in the cloud."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is less expensive than some other solutions on the market."
"We do not have to pay for the product."

Hi Jean ISL Online remote desktop software's main functionality is establishing connections with remote computers.

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.
