What is Nerdio?

Nerdio is a platform designed to simplify and enhance the management of virtual desktops in Microsoft Azure and physical devices with Microsoft Intune. It offers two main products:

- Nerdio Manager for MSP: This platform is tailored for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to streamline the deployment, management, and optimization of virtual desktop environments for their clients. Key features include pricing estimation, intuitive management portals, cost monitoring, and Azure cost optimization through automated scaling.

- Nerdio Manager for Enterprise: Designed for large organizations, this platform enables efficient operation of extensive Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Cloud PC deployments. It offers a user-friendly interface for IT teams, cost reduction through auto-scaling, enhanced security features, and unified management for physical devices, Cloud PCs, and AVD desktops.

Both Nerdio Manager platforms aim to address the complexities of managing virtual desktops, reduce Azure costs, and provide a more intuitive and streamlined experience for IT professionals and MSPs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're an MSP and have deployed Nerdio to a couple of CPA firm clients. By having a scalable environment, the firms are able to bring on temporary CPAs, at will, for as long or short a period as necessary seamlessly. Also, accounting applications require frequent, labor heavy, updates that working off of a single image streamlines.

Pros

Tech support. Super friendly and fun to talk to guys. They always get it done.
Excellent CIOs who care about you and your business
Ability to solve problems at any hour of the day
Product is easy and functional almost 100% of the time.

Cons

Default printers! If you work form home and it will switch up your printers. Even if you don't work from home it will switch it sometimes.
Disk space seems a little expensive too :(

Return on Investment

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.
