Virtual desktops are revolutionizing the modern business IT landscape by offering secure, flexible, and cloud-based work environments that are far more superior to the outdated physical infrastructure and rival offerings in the market. As organizations look for a trustworthy Desktop as a Service (DaaS) provider, they consider options such as ubiDesktop, but vDeskWorks stands out as the best option in the market.

Limitations of ubiDesktop and Similar Basic Providers

ubiDesktop is a basic cloud desktop provider that provides entry-level cloud desktops with low specs: a maximum of 4 vCores, 16 GB RAM, and 160 GB storage, along with outdated OS support that only goes up to Windows 7 or Linux. It does not have basic enterprise functionality like Active Directory support, on-premises AD synchronization, multi-factor authentication, load balancing, app publishing, and firewalls. 

Security is also very basic (Windows Defender only), with automatic backups as an additional cost and no DNS filtering or customizable lockdown policies. Client connectivity is also limited to Microsoft RDP only on mobile, macOS, and Chromebook devices, with no full HTML5 browser support.

vDeskWorks: Unparalleled Customization and Performance

vDeskWorks breaks the mold with extremely scalable options: 2 to 32+ vCores (including BYO), 4 to 128+ GB RAM, very large OS drives (128 GB to 1 TB+), 25-100+ GB User Profile Disks, and shared storage for 50+ users—all on enterprise SSD with RAID 10 redundancy. It supports the latest Windows 10/11 and Server 2016-2022 versions, and GPU-enabled VDI for seamless operation of AutoCAD, Photoshop, QuickBooks, and other heavy-duty applications. 

Select from persistent desktops (personalized per session), non-persistent (for shared use), or disposable desktops (auto-delete for complete anonymity and no-trace access). Un-metered bandwidth, Office 365/2016/2019 integration (no BYOL needed for basic functionality), printing redirection, and unlimited users make for unparalleled performance and productivity with no bottlenecks.

Superior Security, Management, and Support Ecosystem

Security is a foundation area where vDeskWorks truly shines: Active Directory services/sync, mail/device fingerprint MFA, Webroot + Defender endpoint security, DNS filtering, firewalls, DDoS protection, rotating IPs, automatic daily snapshots/backups with rapid restore, and PCI/HIPAA compliance-ready tools.

 Management is outstanding with a centralized management console (included for 25+ users), load balancing, environment management, IPsec site-to-site VPN, IP-based content filtering, subdomains with SSL support, and on-demand features such as screenshot/keystroke/mouse click recording, screen video recording, and productivity monitoring—all without hidden costs. 

Support is unmatched in the industry with live chat, email, ticketing, phone, remote access, shadowing, and fully managed support. Launch instantly on Azure/AWS with hybrid capabilities, zero downtime, and simplified setup that doesn’t require technical knowledge.
