Moving our virtual desktops from our Windows server to the Azure environment is quite simple. For monitoring and reporting needs, AVD Workloads may be effortlessly linked with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics Workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Access is limited to internet connections, which is probably normal for the time being. The mobile access point might use some enhancement as it is difficult to use due to its small screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AVD has been gaining a lot of traction for the past few years in the DaaS space because of its simplicity of deploying, managing and maintaining; many organisations are moving from on-prem VDI infra deployments to AVD as setting up brand new infra on-prem or scaling up and down may not be quickly done in traditional VDI deployments. OPEX over CAPEX is one standout feature that makes AVD the best in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Image level updates regularly especially addressing zero-day vulnerabilities, make it cumbersome for admins to catch with the tighter timelines; however, there are additional 3rd tools like Nerdio, which makes the process quicker but comes with additional cost.

From the user side, no preparation required with respect to migration from existing setup to Azure Virtual Desktop. Cost wise its cheaper when compared to equivalent products in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limitations with respect to usage of Microsoft Teams like some functionality/features are not supported like Request Control and even Teams get disconnected often when we are connected via AVD. Since AVD is a Microsoft product, we expected it to work better with Teams, but that's not the case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
