Microsoft AVD
Enterprise Essentials for AVD
Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop is a powerful solution — but out of the box it doesn't include the rich management capabilities enterprises rely on when coming from legacy platforms such as Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or Omnissa Horizon. Teams moving to AVD quickly discover gaps in modern application delivery, user environment and profile management, and digital experience monitoring (DEX) to support the day-to-day capabilities they'd come to depend on.
Liquidware Essentials closes those gaps. It's the must-have platform for enterprises adopting AVD, delivering — and improving on — the feature set you're used to from Citrix and Horizon, so your teams keep every enterprise capability they rely on as they standardize on Azure.
Trusted to manage digital workspaces across Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, physical PCs and other EUC environments.
Liquidware Essentials
The Must-Have Platform for Microsoft AVD
Microsoft gives you the desktop. It doesn't give you the enterprise management your teams depend on. Enterprises coming from legacy platforms such as Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or Omnissa Horizon are used to a mature set of solutions for delivering applications, controlling the user environment, monitoring experience and supporting users — and AVD alone doesn't replace them.
Liquidware Essentials brings that enterprise feature set to AVD in a single platform:
-
FlexApp for dynamic, image-independent application delivery
-
ProfileUnity for centralized user environment, profile and policy control — even across non-persistent, multi-session host pools
-
Stratusphere UX to measure AVD performance and user experience with real workload data
-
CommandCTRL for real-time visibility, session playback and remote remediation
"We migrated from Citrix to Microsoft AVD to free our organization of increasing renewal costs. Liquidware rounded out AVD with modern app delivery that is superior in every way, user management that made migrations easy for users, and we know we're delivering a better desktop than before with the data we get from Stratusphere UX."
- IT Director, Southeast based Healthcare Organization with 5,500 users across 5 campuses.
Moving off a legacy platform? If your teams grew up on Citrix or Omnissa Horizon, Liquidware Essentials replaces and extends the capabilities you rely on today — delivered natively on AVD
Modernize Microsoft AVD management with Liquidware:
-
Application deployment is often image based, clunky and creates too much application management overhead
-
User settings and policies need to be consistent and centralized while addressing granular groups and users
-
Multi-department use of AVD hosts increases the need for unique apps and experiences without image sprawl
-
Performance issues are harder to control without visibility
-
Remote remediation is critical to reduce downtime and rebuilds
It’s Easier to Operationalize Microsoft AVD with Liquidware Essentials
FlexApp
FlexApp reduces image sprawl by delivering applications dynamically instead of baking them into the base image. That allows IT teams to update, roll back and standardize app delivery across all Windows desktops, including AVD, without constant reprovisioning.
ProfileUnity
ProfileUnity helps keep user environments consistent over time by centralizing settings, personalization and policy control. It is especially useful where multiple users need clean, recoverable, role-appropriate experiences.
Stratusphere UX
Stratusphere UX provides continuous visibility into Microsoft AVD performance and user experience, helping IT identify issues faster and optimize sizing with real workload data.
CommandCTRL
CommandCTRL adds real-time control and remediation so support teams can resolve issues remotely, reduce downtime, and avoid unnecessary rebuilds.
Modern Azure Virtual Desktops Need Modern Management
Manage User, Apps, and DEX proactively.
Run with more control.
Microsoft AVD reduces infrastructure complexity in many ways, but it does not eliminate the day-to-day challenges of application delivery, policy control, performance troubleshooting and support. Ongoing management of Microsoft AVD multi-session hosts is easier and less time-consuming with Liquidware Essentials.
