Hamada Farag - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective and streamlined virtual desktop infrastructure solution with a user-friendly interface and simplified management
The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency. The simplicity of the management tools is a key highlight, especially when compared to other solutions like Citrix, where there is often complexity due to various components such as controllers, storefronts, and different servers.
Terje Romen - PeerSpot reviewer
Accessing the same desktop experience from anywhere but user template creation needs improvement
Mostly we are quite happy with it. However, some of us want a more powerful desktop. When not present, we use a remote tool called Splashtop, which is a good solution for some users. We have about ten licenses for those who need a powerful workstation at the office. We have not used many different tools. We are never in contact with Microsoft. These are quite basic configurations, to be honest. It's not complicated. AI is coming to or is already in some applications we are using. Not system-wise, however, it might be good. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. It's quite good, yet certainly not perfect.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of this solution at the moment is the HTML5 web client. You get a browser experience, not just the terminal sort of client, and the integration with Azure multi-factor application."
"The solution works on Microsoft servers."
"The solution is stable."
"It's simple and easy to use."
"The solution is user-friendly and has a good user experience."
"Since the tool has a graphical user interface, it's easier for us to access the server."
"We have scaled the solution and find this easy to do."
"Everything is really good and it works well."
 

Cons

"It would be highly beneficial if they could offer a version that is entirely on-premises, eliminating the need for cloud connection except for data access."
"The solution can be made faster and it should improve performance wise."
"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services could improve by having graphical acceleration."
"Lacks a notification feature when internet is down."
"Users have to re-enter their ID and password every time they log on, which is tedious and repetitive."
"Updates sometimes impact the application and we have system crashes."
"Its look and feel could be updated. In Azure Remote Desktop Services (RDS), which is a VDI solution, we would like to see linked clones. It is a Hyper-V solution, and it doesn't support linked clones and uses a lot of storage. That's why we don't use it. VMware has a similar solution that supports linked clones for the master image."
"We'd like to see more integration with other vendors."
"The solution should have better security."
"The current process I have to go through to get a Windows 11 VM up and running is difficult. Windows 10 worked a whole lot better than Windows 11."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
"The licensing is based on the number of users of the solution."
"The pricing of the solution is very good."
"It is a cost-effective option with comparable functionality to competitors."
"The solution has a pretty comparable pricing."
"The solution comes free with Microsoft Windows."
"Although not an expensive product, pricing is always something that can be improved."
"The solution has a perpetual license and it is purchased upfront."
"The solution is expensive. My company pays toward the monthly licensing costs of the solution...The additional cost, apart from the solution's licensing cost, is related to the technical support a user wants."
"I would say it's expensive as there similar products available for free."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"I recall that you don't need to pay for Microsoft Remote Desktop Services because that's included in Windows."

In addition, you can route Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) sessions via ISL Online between your local computer and unattended computers running in the remote network without using a VPN or making any firewall changes.

Hi there,  I use TeamViewer which works. The client needs to download at their end "Teamviewer-Host" which is free.  Your support end needs to pay for the number of devices you want to fix. Go to piratebay10.org (if you wish) and search for it i.e. specifically version 15.  Regards, I.
