Ensuring scalability in VDI solutions is crucial as it allows adapting to growth needs efficiently. Organizations require solutions that can expand with their demands, thus scalable architecture is key. Security features must include strong data protection mechanisms, encryption standards, and secure access controls to safeguard sensitive information.
Performance and speed are essential as they directly impact the user experience, so high-speed connectivity and low latency should be prioritized. Compatibility with various devices ensures flexibility, allowing access through different platforms without compromising functionality. Cost-effectiveness involves assessing initial setup costs and ongoing maintenance fees to ensure the solution remains within budget while providing value.

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.
What is a virtual desktop? A virtual desktop separates the desktop environment from the physical computer or device by using virtualization technology. This allows users to access their virtual desktops remotely using any connected endpoint device.
Virtual desktops infrastructures (VDI) can be hosted in virtual machines (VM) in a central server, or hosted in the cloud through a Desktop as a Service (DaaS) offering. Users can access the virtual operating system, applications, and data...

Support. and the security of knowing that the licenses I rightfully bought awon't be revoked suddenly (true story)

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).
