Advanced UEM that exceeds basic VMware DEM in Horizon Environments

ProfileUnity allows VMware Horizon users to incorporate advanced user environment management functions into their environments, far surpassing the capabilities of  VMware DEM.  ProfileUnity provides a universal profile format that can be used across VMware Horizon, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Microsoft AVD and RDS, Cloud-based, and physical devices. Many customers have experienced logins that are exponentially faster than VMware DEM.  Location and context-aware policy and profile capabilities integrate with Microsoft AD for maximum control of users and greater security. ProfileUnity goes beyond user level policies with the ability to easily write policies and registry keys at the local machine level – offering a higher level of security to your desktops. With zero-downtime migration to any supported Windows operating system, administration is seamless while users can work uninterrupted.

Layering that goes beyond VMware App Volumes

FlexApp equips VMware Horizon users with the applications they need while minimizing base image management for administrators. FlexApp not only outperforms VMware App Volumes, but also adds functionality to VMware ThinApp application virtualization. FlexApp’s easy packaging and innovative features enables administrators to create a comprehensive application strategy. Applications can be delivered at boot, login, based on a trigger point, or on demand with FlexApp's exclusive "Click-to-Layer" feature. Application packaging is also made easy with FlexApp’s built-in Micro Isolation feature which eliminates complicated app packaging scenarios by automatically resolving file level conflicts.  FlexApp containers can be provisioned either as VHD or VMDK or may be mixed. A built-in messaging fabric with a high availability design avoids the requirement of App Volumes required load balancers which can add significant cost. FlexApp is fully integrated with ProfileUnity UEM, which includes management features that larger organizations demand, such as fully context-aware app delivery and role-based access. FlexApp also now features FlexApp One, an exclusive feature that enables layered applications to go offline and be deployed directly with Microsoft Endpoint Manager.
