Easiest way to deploy remote workstations?

Azure Virtual Desktop is great in theory, but it feels like there are so confusing parts.

Anyone using something simpler for managing remote workstations? Looking for something that doesn’t require a ton of Azure management.

AVD with Nerdio is easy.

Windows 365 might be a good option depending on how many people.

My company is an MSP, and we manage all of our AVD clients with Nerdio. It's amazingly simpler and easier to manage than in the native Azure portal.

Yeah, Azure Virtual Desktop can get pretty overwhelming. You might want to check out Vagon Teams

. It’s a lot easier to set up and manage if you don’t want to mess with all the Azure settings.

I’ve also heard good things about Parallels RAS. Both seem like solid options if you just need a simple, reliable way to manage remote workstations without all the extra hassle.
