Have successfully deployed and managed virtual desktops with automation and flexibility
Nerdio is completely an automation platform offering auto-scaling and flexibility. It includes pre-prepared automation scripts available within Nerdio for management. I can deploy applications through the Nerdio Manager Console for remote app and MSIX app attach. The configurations are already created within the console. Nerdio works closely with Microsoft to incorporate new Microsoft releases simultaneously.
Ajit Pratap Kundan - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that needs to improve scalability but is useful to manage user
There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance, including the separation of duties of the users. In my company, we are not able to create a policy for the separation of duties of the users, so it is an area where improvement is required. The official authentication and fingerprint authentication should be part of VMware Identity Manager, and I feel these areas are currently missing. The scalability of the product needs to improve. The product should be tightly integrated with the third-party products because it's not like a customer is going to purchase all the VMware products, as they might have different solutions for different purposes.
