## Azure Virtual Desktop Reviews
  ### 1. Experiences with Azure Virtual Desktop

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 08, 2022

**What do you like best about Azure Virtual Desktop?**

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.

**What do you dislike about Azure Virtual Desktop?**

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.

**Recommendations to others considering Azure Virtual Desktop:**

If Cost is one of the criteria, certainly you can consider AVD. There are some pitfalls we have seen like frequent AVD disconnections, compatibility with Microsoft Teams etc, but expecting all these issues to be sorted out in next 6 months, so the users can have much better experience.

**What problems is Azure Virtual Desktop solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to get almost the equivalent functionalities when compared to other products in the market at a relatively cheaper price.
