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.

Secure remote access has protected sensitive country data and supports strict compliance needs
I understand from the IT team managing Microsoft Remote Desktop Services that it is complex to set up the multiple roles, certificates, and networks required. Networking is quite complicated. Even though on the data center side it is quite simple, maintaining the farm of other connections that connect to that server is the complex piece. I understand there are more modern systems replicating what this solution does, which are easier to use, such as Azure Virtual Desktop within Microsoft Azure Cloud or Amazon WorkSpaces, which I have used before. Rather than having to manage all the complex networking, you could abstract it away a little further in the cloud for easier use. I also understand that this tool is in an end-of-life state now, with Microsoft actively pushing people towards Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365. I do not believe further features will be rolled out due to its end-of-life state, making it a legacy solution now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"The user experience is quite good."
"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"We use cloud remote support because we need to assist our customers. It allows them to connect from the web. I"
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services has led to measurable improvements in faster response times and increased productivity for my team as I work in a team that is spread across different time zones, and having access to remote desktop enables us to collaborate across those time zones."
"It has enabled our clinical staff to get real-time medicine prescribing information at the patients' bedside with a near 100% service uptime."
"The pricing is great as it's free in the larger Microsoft system."
"The availability is very good; it's easy to use, and new users especially find it very simple as you just connect and go."
"The initial setup is great; it's very simple and straightforward."
"I would recommend Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, especially for general support."
"The tool shares computer resources perfectly."
 

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’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"I've sometimes had trouble setting up an RDS connection if I want a specific user to be able to log in with their credentials and have the RDS element retain those settings so that the password isn't required each time."
"The solution should introduce a chat feature for end users."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services can be improved by addressing the single session limitations and also clarifying the licensing, which can be confusing."
"We are searching for a product with better remote access and remote sessions."
"There are times I get disconnected from the service and when one or two attempts to establish a remote connection. Microsoft should show where the problem is, I have to find it by myself."
"Microsoft should be more compatible with other operating system."
"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."
"The solution should have better security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
"The tool must be cheaper."
"The solution is expensive. Since things are made to be a bit easier in the solution, the solution's cost is a bit on the higher side."
"The solution has a pretty comparable pricing."
"The cost of the solution is low."
"The solution is overly expensive."
"Its licensing is on a yearly basis. We're on the educational or academic license, and our terms are good. We're very happy with the pricing."
"I recall that you don't need to pay for Microsoft Remote Desktop Services because that's included in Windows."
"The price of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is reasonable."

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.
