What differentiates VMware Horizon Cloud from other similar products?

I like the fact the you are able to use Horizon to access the remote VMs even when we are not on campus. The software is downloadable on many devices, including Mac, PC, iOS, Android, etc. The remote controls also work very well on iOS devices, because you can change the controls into however you want. That makes it a lot easier to control the VM when you are using such a small screen device like the iPhone.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Using static desktops, I can log in anywhere and have a consistent experience across devices.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Horizon needs to consider offering more streamlined access from both desktop and mobile devices. There should also be further connection options available, as there are currently very limited options for adjusting the connection quality from the Horizon Client interface. This enhancement would be helpful, especially when dealing with varying speed connections and multiple functions in hybrid cloud environments.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Have a stiff infastructure, because there is a large load on the VM machines, and they sometimes do get slow.

Pros

  • Performance Enhancing
  • Unique Features
  • Respectful
  • Client Friendly Policies

What differentiates VMware Horizon Cloud from other similar products?

VMware Horizon Cloud is very helpful in provisioning VDIs within minutes, compared to AVD and AWS Workspaces, it is very much lower cost and it's integration with vSphere is very useful. Unlike other vendors Horizon Cloud being the VMware native cloud has it's own perks when it comes to vSphere integration and other VMware products integration.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of the VMware Horizon Cloud is it's agile desktop provisioning.For remote work, or work from home, this is incredibly helpful. It is more affordable because it is more adaptable and scalable for desktop installations and also being in the cloud, the expenses of hardware, software, and maintenance is not our overhead. VMware will take care of it.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There's nothing to dislike about VMware Horizon Cloud. I like each and every aspect as it supports our business and projects as per the need.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's the best in class.

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
