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.

"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."

Cons

"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."
"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
"The integration could be improved."
"Sometimes we had to force values so the end-user could continue working, which caused some information to get lost."
"In VMware Horizon View, app volume is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in the integration with other parts of the suite. For example, you currently need separate windows to manage app volumes and the dynamic environment manager (DEM)."
"Lacking in documentation for app settings."
"Considering the tool's weaknesses, the product probably has scope for some improvement in the context of how the applications or Linux operating systems are delivered using VMware Horizon View."
"They could incorporate an application library for application learning and licensing."

Previously, we used to change desktops regularly, and now we just change them when they break."
"VMware Horizon View's licensing cost is not expensive."
"The price of VMware Horizon 7 is more than some other solutions."
