"Very supportive with great capabilities"

5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Application Virtualization?

The things I personally like best are that MAV supports a wide range of applications and application types. It's also very capable of delivering to a wide variety of endpoints with few restrictions such as driver. It's also super easy when comes to deployment. Free trial is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Application Virtualization?

The main issue that I have is that publishing refresh on a specific computer takes much longer than expected and if the client is configured. Also, the fact that users cannot connect to the server and go into disconnected operations mod. A non-valid certificate will prevent users from connecting and will cause them to go into disconnected operations mode. Not many reasons not to try it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Application Virtualization:

This concept is similar but not identical to cloud computing which has some additional features like automatic capacity provisioning, but overall an awesome service/platform to use for personal or business use. There are additional cost advantages like saving on license costs, and greatly reducing the need for support services to maintain a healthy computing environment. If you're looking for a convenient, effective, efficient, clean, smart, fast, intuitive, and very very user-friendly platform to use then look no further. I personally highly recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Application Virtualization solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're solving plenty of problems over here by using the Microsoft Application Virtualization.We use it for packaging applications into a single executable and for access control through authentication, IP address. Also, maintaining a standard cost-effective operating system configuration across multiple machines by isolating applications from their local operating systems.

"I enjoy the things you can create/do with this amazing application"

5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Application Virtualization?

The company I work for can give me new chances with this app, I would love to contribute to the community that Microsoft creates because a co-worker of mine used this and he gave me the complete and honest feedback, and i have to say that i was impressed. I agree that there are many new things to create for the new and upcoming updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Application Virtualization?

The amount of notifications that it send me to remind me of my projects, and when my friends and employers tell me what happened it confuses me because I don't understand everything yet. However some of the programs inside don't allow me to use them because my processor is too slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Application Virtualization:

Choose the right plan so if you are a beginner like me don't try to get ahead of yourself when you approach the mainframe, if you can't understand what you are doing try looking at the support section because they give some pretty good hints to use toward a new project or already existing project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Application Virtualization solving and how is that benefiting you?

This can give me a good resource for creating new options in my game, I can create so many things with the new experiences they create. I feel that If I can use this for my friends and associates maybe I can improve the future of this application, and while it runs fairly well on my Lenovo PC I may need to upgrade the processor to make even more of a difference for the future of IT.

"Excellent tool to run applications in real time and without installing them locally"

4/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Application Virtualization?

First of all I really like that it is a tool that allows us to install and centrally administer dedicated applications, so that you can limit or parameterize access to it, it also has a separate interface with which you can follow up on the accesses that the application has had. I like that being services that are not installed locally, any conflict with other applications or with the data that is found locally is avoided, in addition to allowing us to run different versions of the application simultaneously, as a comparison. It is a platform that offers an experience very similar to what you can offer with a locally installed tool. And finally I really like that being a tool offered by Microsoft, allows us to have an incredible support and community, at the time of any problem, sometimes the intervention of technical support is not necessary to solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Application Virtualization?

It is difficult to find something wrong the truth, the only thing that can be added is that it is a complex tool that well needs to be managed and controlled by a person who has very good knowledge in the area since if not, the integrity of the applications and the data itself, if there is no support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Application Virtualization:

I recommend it in 100% I think it is an incredible solution for both the use of applications in small companies, as medium and large, really that the versatility and intuitiveness that allows us to have when managing an application internally is incredible, but that if It is necessary to have a previous documentation to avoid any inconvenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Application Virtualization solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has been ideal for the creation of solutions for other corporations so that the internal systems do not have the need to be run locally but virtual and also have a parameterization such that the administrator can decide which users can access as options or Data can be accessed, this is excellent in the field of work since it systematizes the procedures a lot and also manages everything much better.

"Collaborative Virtualization"

5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Application Virtualization?

Present the application quickly and easily to users;

Run the application through streaming through the AppV Server, dispensing the local installation on the machines;

Use 2 incompatible software on the same computer;

Update an application through the server, without having to configure clients by clients;

Control the use of software by license. For example: Enable only 10 users to use the application simultaneously or link a software to a specific group or user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Application Virtualization?

Like any virtualized solution, you need a connection, if this connection is not of a quality, the service can be compromised. It is not a "counter" to the solution, but to everything that is virtualized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Application Virtualization:

I recommend the solution because it reduces costs, time, solves compatibility problems, easy operation and deployment, and virtualization is a trend already present for some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Application Virtualization solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've eliminated softy compatibility issues, hardware requirements for certain applications, security, anywhere accessibility, disk space, backups, and many others.

When the user closes the software the connection is terminated and the software is removed (in fact there is no installation or removal since the program runs through the virtual environment). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
