I wish there were more built-in security compliance templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the auto shutdown of idle VMs feature, which helps prevent unnecessary cloud charges. The initial setup was smooth, which made the experience better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the limited customization of autoscaling rules, as it lacks more granular control options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Real productivity gains for AVD admins

Nerdio shines at automating the repetitive, error-prone parts of AVD:

Host pool scaling

VM lifecycle management

Image updates

Cost optimization (auto-shutdown, right-sizing)

If you’ve ever babysat AVD capacity manually, Nerdio is a relief. It meaningfully reduces operational overhead and Azure portal fatigue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complexity doesn't disappear necessarily, it moves. Lots of strict workflows, doesn't easily allow for custom scripts, private endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User-friendly environment with good visibility. Fast and professional support. Sufficient amount of features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The installation process in our specific environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Nerdio Manager's patented auto-scaling reduces costs. The version control feature also stands out. I found the initial setup to be very easy and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the systems can be slow, and the auto-heal functionality needs enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Nerdio Manager, we can manage Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) for all of our customers within one portal. We almost use it every day to monitor that AVD status.

The best thing I like about Nerdio is its automation. It can combine a series of complicated steps if I do it from Azure to a single click. For example, update the Gold Image. If I do it from Azure, it takes me 30 mins to 1 hour with steps of sys-prep, snapshotting from disk, saving to image, etc. But with Nerdio, it's just a single click on "Save as image". The rest of the thing will be done by Nerdio. We just need a cup of coffee and wait till it is completed. It gives us status update step-by-step. If anything went wrong, it's easy for us to troubleshoot based on the status and error message. It saved us a lot of time and effort on monthly patching.

The other thing I like is the auto-scale. The auto-scale settings are way more powerful than the Azure built-in scale plan. Also, the history of auto-scale makes us easy to optimise auto-scale to save customers' costs.

The deployment and integration for a customer is very simple. The initial setup of the whole AVD environment can be done within 30 minutes by following the wizard. I love its automation.

The customer support is also excellent. Support can find the root cause quickly and give us solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not something I dislike, but a suggestion. The AVD troubleshooting still needs to go to Azure Insight, not from Nerdio itself. But Nerdio gives a clear link to redirect to Azure portal AVD Insight. I can see Nerdio are adding more functions from Insight already, like CPU and RAM usage of each session host, RTT of each user, etc. I am expecting more functions will be integrated into Nerdio. So I don't need to jump to Azure for anything moving forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Nerdio Manager is easy to use and accurate. It's much simpler than other tools out there. I also found the initial setup to be extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe having local support would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes any AVD admins life easy. The tool has capability to manages anything related to Azure Virtual Desktops reducing the manual effort upto 90% and Nerdio provide great support to their customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The minimal UI. Often times it gets tiring to flip through multiple menus/stare at old designs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't have all the functionality we'd need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
