Azure Virtual Desktop Reviews & Product Details

We use Azure Virtual Desktops for VDIs for employees who work remotely and who work from other vendors as contractors. Instead of providing them with a laptop, we assign VDIs for working in client environment and with client network.

It reduces cost of providing laptops, it is easy to connect and use it, it is easy to deploy a VDI in Azure environment it only takes like 10 minutes, less cost in azure for deployment, we can auto schedule the power off at a time even if user left the VDI turned on or forgot to shut it down it will reduce the cost as it is a pay as you go service.

I think taking a premium disk and premium hardware is necessary. As many users are allocated to the workstations it might get slow sometimes. It is not as good as using a laptop as we are working on it via RDP or any other software we can feel the lag of response via internet which will take away the feel of using normal laptop or PC and we might feel it slow.

Performance wise, Azure Remote Desktop delivers well. It has minimal latency and smooth experience. As a onsultant it allows me to access client network as if I'm using a client system/laptop. The user interface is straightforward, making it easy to navigate, and the scalability ensures I can handle any workload, big or small. With our previous vendor sessions used to hang or lag, but with Azure it's a smooth connection without any disruptions. I use it daily and it's integrated well with other microsoft services such as active directory- so the security is also easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app is really good, but sometimes when you're accessing it via browser it's really hard to toggle between apps as ctrl+tab doesn't work. So i prefer the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WVD, now called Azure Virtual Desktop, is a Desktop-as-a-Service offering from Microsoft that is known for its simplistic, scalable, resilient, highly available and flexible desktop and application virtualisation platform, which caters to various organisational needs- be it personal VDIs for developers/designers, non-persistent VDIs for task workers, help desk users and remote apps for contractors.

AVD Workloads can easily be integrated with Azure monitor and log analytics workspace for monitoring and reporting purposes.

On the deployment front, AVD infrastructure can be deployed using extensible components like Nerdio and Azure DevOps/Terraform can also be used in combination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AVD needs more maturity in terms of non-persistent VDI updates; now, it looks cumbersome, especially updating the session hosts for any Microsoft patches or app upgrades. The current process of deleting and recreating the session hosts when any updates/upgrades are coming in makes it difficult if we are using technologies like MSIX App attach for attaching applications to the session hosts, where computer accounts need to have access to the Azure file shares and aligning NTFS permissions makes it difficult for maintaining the infrastructure.

I love the accessibility of this feature. Windows has been around longer than any software program and never disappoints. I love how I can access it from wherever I am located and all devices! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love everything about this application. This may also be based on my bias towards windows in general! The only thing I would change ismaking all app extensions accessible for collegestudents like me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Windows Virtual Desktop is the ease of the platform as well as the clarity of instructions of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot say I dislike any part of Windows Virtual at this time. I love puzzles that challenge my intellectual I can figure out technology with time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like any ability to go ahead and use a computer inside of a computer. However, the Windows Virtual Desktop is not my favorite. I found it to be much laggier than other clients. It was able to be used with other clients, like Azure and AWS, for additional functionality. Once you're in there, if you're used to using Micrsoft, you're able to use a virtual client the same way you would any other way. Also works on a Microsoft computer if that's the direction, also works on an Apple computer if that's the direction you take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is certainly a lag to this client. I prefer Amazon Workspaces for the customer support and reliability. Honestly, I could not get past the lag. Unlike Amazon Workspaces, which is all encompassing, I don't like a lot of other programs like Azure that are used to run a windows virtual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
