NerdioCon 2025: April 7-9, Palm Springs, CA
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!
See below how Nerdio Manager stacks up to (and beats) one of the most recognized legacy VDI solutions on the market when it comes to initial setup, cost, deployment, product features and integrations, and updates and support.
