When exploring VDI solutions, it's crucial to examine several key features to ensure they align with your business environment. Important aspects include:
Scalability
Security protocols
User experience
Integration capabilities
Management tools
Scalability is essential for accommodating growth without significant overhead. Security protocols must be robust to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Integration capabilities are vital to ensure seamless connectivity with existing systems, allowing for efficient workflows. Strong management tools are necessary for monitoring and maintenance, ensuring that administrators can easily manage resources and troubleshoot issues.
A good VDI system should also provide an excellent user experience, enabling users to access desktop environments efficiently and with minimal latency. It's important to evaluate how each solution handles resource allocation to maintain performance during peak usage times. Understanding the flexibility of deployment options will provide clarity on how well the VDI system can be adapted to specific infrastructure, whether utilizing on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments.

VDI solution should fulfil business need about Security, Mobility and user experience as well . combination of named desktop, shard one and application publishing are the success key to achieve VDI added value within location and access-device flexibility.
Performance followed very closely by reliability - and all that closely tied together by "how much does this *%^& cost?"
Performance = real life what does it feel like at the other end of the wire.

Without a doubt performance would be the most important aspect for me. What looks great on paper also needs to perform so well that the employee does not know it is a virtual desktop.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) provides a streamlined approach to deploying desktop environments through a centralized server, enhancing security and management. It's a solution often integrated into organizations needing flexible, scalable access to desktop resources.By hosting desktop environments on a centralized server, VDI allows end users to access desktops remotely from any device with an internet connection. This approach boosts flexibility and ensures uniform management across...

It all depends on what are you looking for. Nowadays there are a lot of different vendors that provide VDI and all of them are so good.
So in my experience what you need to evaluate is the security and the user experience!!

Resource consumption on the system that runs it and lag time (if any).
