Nerdio vs. OCI Virtual Desktop

Nerdio's well positioned in dynamic user count environments, for sure. Or where user's are brought on temporarily and new IT hardware purchase isn't cost effective. If you'd in an environment where frequent application updates are needed, Nerdio handles this with an image model. Less appropriate in predictable, basic computing environments.

For large and mid-sized organizations utilizing massive virtual desktop deployments, Oracle VDI offers great value. It supports a wide range of operating systems like Linux, Solaris, Windows etc.

• They can link to your computer and help you with any issues immediately.
• Easy to talk to and reach.
• Reliable Service

• Ease of Manageability. Accessing and managing multiple virtualized desktop environments is pretty straightforward.
• Great Options for Keeping Track of Logins. Detailed reports of who has been logging into which environment are easy to configure.
• File Systems Can Be Shared. You can set multiple desktop environments to be able to share data on the same file system.

• My only complaint would be when we are adding new users and thinking/testing to make sure we've covered all our bases

• In our use of Oracle VDI, we have found there is a significant lag time when using the desktop environments through it, rather than the standalone virtual desktops.
• Real time reporting and statistics can be improved as well.

Nerdio's UI, and technology are ever evolving, and becoming more useful as time progresses. There's a ton of video trainings to bring folks up to speed on our internal team. It's intuitive, and the links to the corresponding blades in Azure are super helpful. Most of the automated tasks return usable errors when failed, which is helpful

From the end user's perspective the usability is not impacted at all.

The easiest way to describe the performance is like this - when it is working, it works almost flawlessly. When it starts freezing, your day is going to get very interesting very quickly. As I have stated earlier, I used it for one purpose, and it did what I needed it to most of the time, but I did have issues with it.

We moved to this solution when there was only a limited number of vendors offering this type of work environment... and after talking to colleagues who initially selected other vendors, they were happy to make the switch to AdarIT/Nerdio.

VMware Horizon does everything that Oracle VDI is capable of doing and offers many more features, and unlike Oracle VDI, it is still receiving constant updates. Oracle VDI was a great solution for enterprise-level management of virtualized desktop when it was getting updates, but now that it won't be getting any, I would put it in the "outdated technology" category.

• We have far less problems and our employees are all much more productive (almost too productive!)
• It is a little expensive, so it will take us some time to see the savings.

• When I used it full-time it worked for what I needed it - positive.
• When it crashed, it costed me in time to wait to get it back up - negative.
• Took up less space than using live machines - positive.
