Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Integration with Event Monitoring Services The ability to monitor the DaaS environment for unauthorized changes.

Integration with Endpoint Management Tools The ability to manage the virtual desktops with an endpoint management tool such as ConfigMgr.

Delivery Optimization The provider offers network optimization tools for improving the user's experience and for troubleshooting network issues.

Billing Optimization and Management The provider offers capabilities to help IT departments control their spend on DaaS.

Secure Connectivity Secure connectivity is upheld between the DaaS provider and the client interface and at the backend at the DaaS provider's facility, subject to service levels.

Outsourced Backend Administration IT is able to focus time on managing the images and applications, not the infrastructure on which the desktops run.

Desktop Environment The user has a near identical experience to a traditional computer running locally on a user’s computer with few differences.

Device Support Desktops can be delivered to the end user easily using an HTML client.

Bulk Patching and Updates Updating operating system patches, security and anti-virus software in batch form to ensure that workstations are up-to-date, even when PC images are offline.

Multi Tenant Architecture DaaS providers will have multi-tenant architecture, where many virtual desktops, possibly from different DaaS customers, are hosted on the same infrastructure.

Per Unit Time Pricing IT has the ability to granularly control the time units that the service is available and charged for.
