Virtual Desktop by Evolve IP

What do you like best?

Evolve IP Desktop Services meets our real estate needs by providing a synchronized desktop management solution for our work computers and anyone who works from home and logs in remotely. The IT department is very customer oriented and delivers amazing desktop solutions for each of our employees while being able to maintain control through the cloud based program that VDI offers. It makes things much easier for IT because it is easier to manage and more economical which enables them to focus on more strategic activities for the business.The other thing that I like about the VDI is that the security levels are way better than working on a regular pc and there is a lower risk with spam and unwanted junk mail coming in from different servers. The cost for this is also way cheaper than trying to use desktops and integrating them into your own server.

What do you dislike?

The connectivity issues that we sometimes experience can sometimes give a headache. When the VDI server is down we are unable to log into our work desktops and unfortunately we lose money when this happens. VDI would work better if they were able to manage their connectivity logs better and have a good connection all the time.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

The ability to enable employees to access a single desktop from many different places.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Many problems that we try to come together to resolve are the connectivity issues that we sometimes experience. VDI has several benefits that companies will win from such as the combination of providing anywhere access to data and applications while securing and managing multiple devices. With VDI, the IT department has the servers in their own data centers or their own server closet, versus with DaaS where the service provider is hosting everything. Once you centralize computing, you become dependent on high-availability infrastructure, redundant equipment, network, and the staffing requirements to keep things running.
