Can understand that there are differences between Windows 365 and AVD infrastructure, capabilities ,pricing models and etc. But can you tell us few customer scenarios where we cannot use Windows 365 instead of AVD?
- Bryan_TaylorJul 21, 2021Copper ContributorBoth Windows 365 and AVD can support the majority of customer scenarios where persistent desktops are required; which you choose in those cases will be more about your specific characteristics/preferences (licensing in place, existing infrastructure/investments, skills level, billing model preferences, speed of initial deployment, etc). However, AVD supports additional scenarios where multi-session/non-persistent desktops, remote app capability, or Citrix/VMware integration are required. In addition, low-usage scenarios will be a better fit for AVD's consumption-based billing model.
