Cloud PCs (Windows 365) are great for simplicity and streamlined management. They’re perfect for organizations wanting an easy-to-deploy desktop experience without extensive IT overhead. They integrate well with Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune) and are ideal for remote or hybrid workforces needing consistent desktop experience. They have fixed licensing prices and can be deployed on a Microsoft-managed network, keeping the SaaS solution if that level of security and responsibility are desired.
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) excels in customization and flexibility, making it suitable for larger enterprises or those needing multi-session capabilities and application virtualization. It’s great for dynamic workloads due to its consumption-based pricing and offers deeper control over the environment, which is ideal for IT teams needing advanced configuration. With AVD, you’ll need the infrastructure, meaning your organization would bear the added responsibility of IaaS and extra security.
