FAQs

What is Azure Virtual Desktop?

Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) is a cloud-based virtual desktop and application platform that runs in Azure and has exclusive features like Windows 10 enterprise multi-session. This offering allows multiple users to concurrently connect to a remote desktop on a Windows 10 virtual machine for a familiar user experience with optimal app compatibility and no RDS CAL licensing. Azure Virtual Desktop was previously known as Windows Virtual Desktop.

What are the biggest pain points experienced with AVD?

The biggest challenges associated with AVD deployments are end-user experience, the cost of using cloud services, and the effort to migrate to AVD. Once deployed, the list of top AVD performance complaints includes application performance, slow logins, and video call problems. Performance troubleshooting is often tricky because Microsoft doesn’t offer an end-to-end monitoring tool, and these issues may be caused by infrastructure tiers and necessary, not the digital workspace itself.

Does Azure Monitor allow you to monitor AVD?

Azure Monitor can monitor Azure Virtual Desktops, but generally is very intensive to set up, and the out-of-the-box capabilities are limited. Administrators will not be able to get quick answers to the questions they have about AVD costs, performance, user experience, and usage. Login Enterprise is an out-of-the-box, specialized tool specifically geared for AVD.

What ROI can I expect from using a specialized solution for AVD?

Login Enterprise immediately helps you save money, lower support costs, and improve the user experience. IT support costs can be reduced, and operational efficiency is enhanced because problem diagnosis is streamlined and more effective. Empirical insights also help with cost, right-sizing, optimization, and capacity planning. Once deployed, the savings in CapEx, less IT administrator time, and user productivity gains mean that Login Enterprise often pays for itself with a short ROI. Organizations can boost user satisfaction and productivity by reducing downtime and slow time.
