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.

"Great for desktop management, particularly when it comes to all the upgrades."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"Along with the high pricing, the profile synchronization mechanism also needs improvement."
