Azure Virtual Desktop vs. Vagon Teams

1. Users with older machines and when the IT department is facing the crunch in procuring the actual system due to ongoing pandemic.
2. Users with more computing power can use these machines, which can work at better speeds and give out better results and faster speed.
3. If the end user internet is not perfect that is it is low speed or ping then it is not recommended to use these systems

I cannot recommend Vagon to any person or company. My advice is to completely avoid this option, as there are better options.

• You can publish as many host pools as you need to accommodate your diverse workloads
• Brings your own image for production workloads or test from the Azure Gallery
• Reduces costs with pooled, multi-session resources.
• With the new Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session capability exclusive to Windows Virtual Desktop and Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) role on Windows Server, you can greatly reduce the number of virtual machines and operating system (OS) overhead while still providing the same resources to your users.

• While it is PaaS it would be nice to have some monitoring insights into some parts of the offering
• Migrating user sessions from one host to another (to be able to downscale) would be awesome
• It would be nice to have a more seamless deployment of FSLogix in a AVD Enviroment

• To start with, Vagon should respond to support emails.
• Vagon should stop its predatory practices of forcing the high-tier plan on the customer and locking them into that, then ignoring support emails about it.

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

For us Parallels RAS is still more a "onpremise" solution, with Azure Virtual Desktop we can really leverage the power of the cloud. We can spin up additional hosts if the load is too high and spin down hosts in the night to cut costs. Not being bound to onpremise hardware makes this extremely flexible. Seeing as most of our customers already have a M365 license that includes Azure Virtual Desktop licensing it doesn't cost us additional CAL's for Parallels RAS

I have used other virtual desktops including Google Cloud desktops, Paperspace, and Microsoft Azure desktops. Vagon was easier to use but it was terrible service and experience.
