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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"The thin image offers efficiency and stability for the system, which is not always available in other alternatives."
"It is easy to maintain."
"It is a stable solution. It is wonderful for multi-user environments, and it supports different virtual machines and operating systems. You can go for any kind of virtual machine. It has many features, especially for a call center. You don't have the issue of computers going down from time to time. You just need to copy the virtual machine to deploy it. You also don't need many people to maintain computers. With Horizon 7, you just need one or two people."
"We are happy with the interface, configurations, pricing and support."
"We like that VMware is the top competitor in virtualization."
"My customers most likely use Horizon 8 for remote desktop, which means making sure that people can access system resources from anywhere on a secure platform, even from a non-secure, or non-company device."
"The solution has data leak prevention features that ensure data is not copied from the base machine to VDI, and API copyright capabilities."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to set it up, and the user experience it provides is just like a normal desktop."
 

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."
"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution can be made faster and it should improve performance wise."
"VMware has purchased by Dell, they started to remove a lot of their support for non-Intel hardware and that's a bit of a problem. They dropped a lot of support for hardware that people commonly use and it just so happened that this hardware is not Intel. It makes it difficult to get assistance."
"Deployment and configuration could be simplified."
"VMware Horizon could be improved with more integration. It is also very costly for Enterprise Plus, which is a drawback. The renewal costs for the license are very, very high."
"In the next release, the performance, the speed, and the price need to be improved."
"There is room for a more cost-effective pricing structure, as it could be more affordable."
"There are some issues with RAM in the system."
"It would be beneficial to see improvements in client-side functionalities, especially for some Linux clients."
"The customer service and support team could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is based on the number of users of the solution."
"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
"The pricing of the solution is very good."
"It is a cost-effective option with comparable functionality to competitors."
"The license is very costly, as well as the renewal cost."

"This solution is expensive. A lot of companies in Mexico find that the price is too high."
"I cannot provide a detailed comment on the pricing; however, I can say that it is quite expensive."
"Licensing and hardware outsourcing is expensive, but can be cost-effective in the three to five-year range."
"For long-term use, perpetual licenses are more cost-effective, and for short-term use, subscription-based would be more cost-effective."

"The license could be cheaper."
