    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.

    I believe Oracle Secure Global Desktop is better used on a larger device such as a desktop or laptop, as the Android platform is a bit confusing when initially introduced to fellow employees who were familiar with the other layout.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Better computing power
    • Configurable System and as per team needs configuration can be added or removed at ease
    • Internet Connectivity within the cloud system is way better than our home / office internet connections
    • No heating issues on personal machines, leaving all the worry on actual data center machines

    • Very secure.
    • Simple layout that is easily understood by different levels of experience.
    • My company works with Linux and Windows - Oracle Secure Global Desktop easily operates on both platforms.

    Cons
    Microsoft
    • 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.

    • Is not supported on Apple devices.
    • Support on Android - the functionality feels flimsy and the layout isn't as user friendly as I thought it would be in comparison to when it is used on a desktop platform.
    • Initially, when first using the product a year or so ago, I received a lot of complaints of random error messages. Though that problem seems to have been solved in the interim.

    AVD has performed well for us and allowed us to migrate away from Citrix.

    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.

    Tarantella gave us a lot of issues, but with Oracle Secure Global Desktop [we got] the huge portfolio of Oracle applications from almost any browser, without the headache of application dependencies, plugins, java etc. My fellow employees like the way Oracle Secure Global Desktop gives us the "feel" of many little desktops but with one machine.

    • Efficiency is definitely a good description. The easy to use platform allows fellow employees to move through their online apps with ease.
    • Applying new online apps is a lot easier, as we do not have to rely on a central server to pull information.
    • As our client is national, it's good to have quick, reliable cloud access to all sensitive materials without worrying about security issues.
