Our favourite features are: The ability to cross publish windows apps to linux and linux apps to windows. We have a lot of niche applications that we have never been able to virtualise that have had to sit on dedicated virtual machines for many years, and now all users can easily share them The administration console has to be one of the easiest we have used. Previously we were a Citrix house, its administration is very scattered having many different management consoles which could be confusing. With OVD everything is in a single console. It works on any device that supports HTML5, plus we can use the Enterprise Desktop Client on Windows/Mac/Linux and our growing number iOS and Android devices. As a BYOD company, we embrace software that makes administration easier It uses port 443. A lot of our workforce travel 80% of the time, so having a service that is ‘firewall friendly’ makes hotel/café/airport wifi much more accepting of a system like this, plus it’s all encrypted so we know our data is secure We can stop our staff using copy and paste – this is fantastic for us as we deal with sensitive information which must under no circumstance end up on the client device.
