Compare Cloud-Based Workspaces: Microsoft 365 vs. Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)

You're an IT pro; you know keeping business critical tools available and maintaining end-user happiness is vital to your organization's success.
But accurately measuring end-user experience (EUX) can be a real challenge. It's a complex task, and relying solely on user feedback can be unreliable, making it hard to establish a performance baseline.
Well, let us introduce you to our 2023 EUX Score - the most powerful data-backed tool for quantifying end-user experience on the market. Its advanced capabilities enable IT admins to identify and diagnose issues affecting end-users, regardless of where or what device they're using.
 During this exclusive live webinar hosted by Blair Parkhill, Director of Products, Login VSI, you'll get a comprehensive overview of:
 - Why the EUX Score is the top metric to determine end-user experience.
 - Real-life examples of how to use the EUX Score and resolve issues impacting end-users. 
 - Best practices for optimizing the end-user experience and maximizing ROI.
Gain a deep understanding of the EUX Score and how it can help ensure your end-users are happy and satisfied with their experience. Don't let poor user experience hinder your organization's productivity and revenue.

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Performance with Windows 10 & 11 – Which is Better?

Attracted by its flexibility and scalability, the cloud is becoming a natural choice for end-user computing (EUC) for organizations of all sizes.

The public cloud can deliver significant business value across the infrastructure in scale, reach, team productivity, service elasticity, and time to market.

But all too often, organizations overshoot their cloud budgets and struggle to optimize costs - shortening the gap between cloud costs and revenue.

Are you ready to make smarter financial decisions about your VDI and DaaS without sacrificing user experience?

Join Michael Kent, CTO of Login VSI, on Wednesday, February 22nd, at 1 pm ET to learn exclusive strategies to:

· Plan for, analyze and reduce spending

The Keys to Leveraging Login Enterprise for Optimal Performance with Citrix

A reliable, scalable test environment aligned to the needs of your business is imperative. Setting up a test environment effectively can be challenging, especially when used for verifying technically dense digital workspaces. It’s a well-known fact that a reasonable amount of time is consumed by environmental problems, which in turn affect the results and overall test schedules. At the same time, test environments can be over engineered and add incremental costs to ensure adequate scaling that mirrors your production systems. Join this session to understand the tips and tricks of architecting the best test environments so that your results reliably tell you what you need to know.

[Vision] Expert Panel: The Future of End User Computing

Organizations largely tend to think about cybersecurity as an IT problem that can be effectively addressed by deploying and managing the right software and tools. Often, they fail to consider the employee experience and how it will impact the end user’s productivity and workflows. Worse yet is that testing the impact of security tools, policy settings and authentication options isn’t always feasible. Login Enterprise was designed to run in an entirely secured environment and our simulated users only exist inside the user session without requiring administrator access. Join this session to hear how one customer uses this unique advantage to close the gap.
