Common sense approach to the interface and functions and extensibility, and a real sense of service delivery approach to what it does and how it accomplishes it. From day one, just getting started, resources are quickly available to help you get started and evolve the delivery of your services over time. As your use case and needs evolve, they have a healthy community, and a resource catalog of engineers to help get you where you need to be, running healthy and cost efficient. If it doesn't do it outright, their representatives and support resources typically know exactly how you can accomplish the desired result in other methods, often more than one option.

Nerdio Manager has few downsides. It is focused to a specific area of technology and includes the vast majority of components related to the technology area. All areas where I have recognized room for improvement have been accepted as feedback and in many cases improved over time with future releases. Any technology integrating in the Microsoft Cloud Ecosystem has potential for integration with other services across a wide area. Despite this, Nerdio keeps a laser focus on their core solution and value proposition, being careful not to stray too far from the focus area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest and most obvious factor is the cost savings.....first and foremost just running Nerdio for its advanced auto scaling capabilities is saving us over £5,000 per month in Azure spend as opposed to running native AVD...that is not even on a big farm and essentially makes Nerdio free for us plus the extra savings.

After the obvious cost savings it has so many features I user personally day to day, scripted actions, storage account scaling and much more.

Its easy to use and the web interface is laid out well.

I have had to use customer service twice and both times they were in contact with me in around 2-4 hours.

Nerdio is in use daily within our organisation by all Service Desk & Infrastructure members.

To summerise, if you are lookin at deploying AVD and not planning on using a tool like Nerdio you will need a very good reason as to why. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is little to dislike but if I had to pick something at a stretch for this to be a balanced review.... I would say the lack of monitoring within Nerdio itself as it relies on native Azure monitor reporting. Also the fact that there is no option to scale storage accounts in-out based on % used trigger, only a latency trigger is currently available. Thats about it.

Easy to use, its so much better than native management and saves us a ton of time with its automations! The autoscaling and gold image management deserve special mention! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a minimum spend commit, which should be lowered or ideally removed. Some months we should be spending less but are still hitting that threshold so wasting money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Nerdio is very easy to setup and very easy to understand for future expansions. Creating new hostpools are very simple and saves allot of headaches for managing permissions and users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reports could be better. many of the reports are in need for improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nerdio Manager's automations cuts the time SIGNIFICANTLY that it would take to manage Azure Virtual Desktop otherwise. Things that would take HOURS to do manually (setup/vm images/scripted taks) happen in minutes with NMM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only downside is the learning curve if you have no previous Azure expierence. I did have previous Azure expirence and NMM actually helped me understand some aspects of Azure quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company can save 100's thousands of dollars a year, with their auto -scale features of scaling in unused hosts and reducing disk sizes when hosts are powered down Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The error reporting on failures of tasks can be a little vague or difficult to assist in getting to the bottom of an issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Imagine having a tool that's as flexible as a yoga master, as easy to use as your favorite app, and as automated as a self-driving car. That's Nerdio Manager for you! With top-notch security and stellar support, it's become my go-to, can't-live-without solution for keeping my IT operations running smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup for large environments can be complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how it simplifies everything so much. I did not personally implement it myself so I cannot speak to that however managing it is great. Everything you need to do under one console. You will very very rarely need to sign in to Microsoft 365 admin.

I have also received great support when needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When Nerdio breaks or if you have any weird issues they can be pretty tricky to track down and solve but again support is great and happy to assist Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scalability and easability to manage multi-tenant avd solutions. Also the ability to scale with billable hours and usage in mind. Very easy to implement and our engineer guided onboarding was excellent. Great margins for us and our customers have had success adopting the avd platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much to dislike other than the learning curve of manageability. We likely could have taken more training courses before pushing for adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

East of management, simplistic interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still lacking several feature sets which are similar to Citrix or Horizon for management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
