For others looking to use Azure Virtual Desktop, my advice is that it helps us move more resources to the cloud without worrying about complicated issues related to on-premises hardware and upgrades. I would rate this review an eight overall.

Configuration is simple since all components are in the same product family. Office 365 configurations connect to Active Directory and AD tenants, enabling immediate application access upon user verification. This applies to Teams as well. Some organizations use different tools for data management, such as Forcepoint data loss protection (DLP). These applications allow policy configuration to prevent data from leaving the company. Microsoft Defender can also be used to classify documents as private, confidential, restricted, or public, with corresponding rules. When Azure Virtual Desktop and Defender are applied, data is highly secured. The latest release includes all necessary features. Previous challenges with host pool management, such as renaming and removing devices, have been resolved, making the process much simpler. It's advantageous to purchase from Microsoft rather than AWS because application compatibility and integration are simpler with Microsoft. I would rate this solution 8.5 out of 10.
My overall rating of Azure Virtual Desktop is five out of ten. While the stability and cost-effectiveness are commendable, there is room for improvement in technical support. Microsoft should ensure that experienced personnel handle tickets and understand issues comprehensively.

Absolutely, this solution is probably the leader in its field. If I need remote access to software, it is the best option. The benefits are that I can use lower-spec computers and have my more heavily used applications hosted elsewhere. The overall product rating is eight out of ten.
