I work for a handful of different folks. Having the ability to organize all of their materials in one space and not have things spill over into another company is lovely. I use a virtual desktop per client/company and organize myself from there. It's like literally having a different desk for each. Highly recommend.

What do you dislike most about this product?
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.

Windows Virtual Desktop is the best solution to connecting to remote resources and setting up an environment the can expand when needed. The support is excellent and there are multiple user forums that offer even more support. It's a great community of users that support each other. Even better yet is it's a proven solution by many big companies.
