Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The university uses AppsAnywhere to deploy, install and launch a wide range of applications to Windows machines on any of our campuses. Some applications are very large and time consuming to install on every machine individually. Updates and licensing restrictions, including maximum number of seats, can then be managed centrally. From the student's point of view, there is a 'one-stop shop' for any specialist application, which is always in the same place, regardless of where you are working exactly.

Pros

  • Shows end users a full list of every application that is actually available to them
  • Install a specialist application on any Windows machine on our network
  • launch the application for use

Cons

  • AppsAnywhere is difficult to find to start it. End-users don't know to look for 'AppsAnywhere' or what it looks like. They tend to look under the Start menu when looking for the target specialist application - can't find it. On the task bar, end-users do not recognise the AppsAnywhere icon. It can be frustrating to show them
  • once in AppsAnywhere the search box does not stand our, so users tend to scroll down a very long list of 100's of applications to get to 'ZBrush'. the filters provided are not particularly useful eg most categories include nearly the entire set of applications
  • AppsAnywhere does not automatically learn your frequently delivered applications, so there is no 'Recents'. Users can create a list of Favourites manually, but this is too bothersome

Likelihood to Recommend

AppsAnywhere is basically suitable for its purpose, despite some usability problems. In our place, applications can in principle be delivered to other machines (not owned by us but by the end-user), who are not even on-site - provided the user can connect to our domain, almost any kind of device is ok. However, I have not tried that myself. The UI could let people work faster, but only by a little, and most people get there in the end. It is basically quite simple to use and appealing to look at

AppsAnywhere software platform for any device

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use AppsAnywhere in my workplace university. AppsAnywhere is the software we use to give our staff access to the software used for work. It can be accessed on campus or off campus, whenever you have your internet connection. Both Windows and Mac users can use AppsAnywhere, as it is compatible with both.

Pros

  • Mobile accessibility
  • Compatible with any operating system
  • Ideal for university students and staff

Cons

  • Quicker customer support responses
  • Antivirus and malware protection would be good additions
  • File transfer options would be a good feature

Likelihood to Recommend

AppsAnywhere is well suited to students and staff at universities. AppsAnywhere allows staff and students to access apps on virtually any device at anytime anywhere. AppsAnywhere is compatible on both Mac and Windows, so users can choose whichever best fits them. The software is secure with two factor authentication. The dashboard is easy to navigate and user friendly. AppsAnywhere is less appropriate for those who have spotty internet connection.
