    I appreciate that a backup of my data is regularly updated and stored at more than one location in the U.S. One
    of our employees got a new computer about a month after we started using Act
    Cloud Hosting, and the employee simply contacted tech support and they helped
    her get her new computer connected to the server and she was back working in a
    very short time. And I appreciate that they have always followed up after a tech support request to make sure that I am satisfied.

    Currently Azure Virtual Desktop enviroments are our first choice for all customers. Especially because most of our customers already have a M365 License which includes Azure Virtual Desktop usage. We deploy it for both RemoteApp and Full desktop solutions. This gives us the flexibility to "lift and shift" a specific workload of more legacy customers towards the cloud and provide them with a secure solution to use their apps in the cloud from anywhere.

    Cons

    • Use the Azure portal, Windows Virtual Desktop PowerShell and REST interfaces to configure the host pools, create app groups, assign users, and publish resources.
    • Publish full desktop or individual remote apps from a single host pool, create individual app groups for different sets of users, or even assign users to multiple app groups to reduce the number of images.
    • As we manage our environment, we use built-in delegated access to assign roles and collect diagnostics to understand various configuration or user errors.
    • We use the new Diagnostics service to troubleshoot errors.

    I think that the cloud based [Azure] Windows Virtual Desktop is the future and sets the precedent for how these should be configured in the future. I've used cheap options and other more expensive options, but VD is the best when compared to Citrix or freeware. I would recommend it to anyone over these.

    • Saved me two extra users to QuickBooks which prices kept increasing for Accountants with Payroll.
    • It allowed me to focus on tax returns which my billable hours are more then data entry and not have to stop in QuickBooks for someone to use my computer.
