Here's why companies of every size and industry are leaving their existing DaaS management vendor for Nerdio Manager for Enterprise.
SIGNIFICANTLY LESS
DAAS LICENSING COSTS
EASIER DAAS MANAGEMENT
80% LOWER AZURE COMPUTE
AND STORAGE COSTS
Not to mention, Nerdio offers the only DaaS management solution available on the market that enhances native Azure Virtual Desktop & Windows 365 rather than replace it with proprietary technologies.
Nerdio Manager is built from the ground-up as a true cloud product unlike older VDI technologies that were created before the public cloud existed! As a result, they often must be retrofitted to try and provide a better user and management experience — the kind Nerdio delivers on day one!
