Nerdio | Azure Virtual Desktop Management

Nerdio Manager for Enterprise extends the native admin experience capabilities of Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365, while allowing customers to leverage the significant investments Microsoft is making into the AVD and Windows 365 services. Unlike other virtual desktop solutions, Nerdio Manager for Enterprise does not replace Microsoft’s native components but enhances them with best-in-class enterprise capabilities. Check out my overview and review of Nerdio Manager for Enterprise so you know if it is the best solution to manage your Azure Virtual Desktop Environment.

Love the video!! We have recently changed our pricing and it is now $3/user. With our 6-7 cost saving measures, the end user cost (AVD+Nerdio) can be as low as ~$8/user. This is far less than an unoptimized AVD deployment.

the nerdio product is really a stellar tool and keeps improving. i just recently deployed it for a 700 user enterprise environment that will scale to probably about 4000 in the next few months and it makes it really simple for me to hand off to a service desk to maintain once the pools are setup/deployed and the auto scale rules are in place. i've built a few scripted actions including a few more combined chocolatey packages and a few others including deploying a crowdstrike sensor to keep the security folks happy :)

once i start messing around with msix app attach and building those msix packages ill see how to leverage that in the nerdio tool as well. great video as always!

Good video. I have been using Nerdio for a while and it keeps getting better. Thanks for the review. The videos are always interesting and informative.

Thanks for the review and the feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve our products so this feedback is very valuable.

Awesome, thanks very much, Dean. Great review. looking forward to future video's. Much appreciated.

Thank you so much for this. Sadly not everyone who I work with will watch your videos. This really is a line in the sand on cost and management optimizations that most MSP's just don't have. As AVD gets more in-depth training level ones to watch all your videos is impossible and a tool like Nerdio can really leverage the GUI button clicky side of things to in-depth processes that most don't know.

As always love your content and thanks for teaching me so much.

Not the first time I've tried to convince people to use nerdio and definably wont be the last.

Great Video Dean. I have used Nerdio in the past and i think its a really cool tool. The challenge i have with Nerdio is its price. I work for an MSP and for less than 250 users Nerdio Manager for MSP license costs is $12 per user, which is almost that same cost of the storage and compute to run AVD per user. So adds a hard sale.

Hi Dean, how can we optimize the windows before it creates the image in Nerdio ?

[davemccormack]

Great video, any chance you can do a comparison between Hydra and Nerdio. Mainly interested in the differences in scope between JML Processes.

[ricardovazquez]

Azure managed disks have never been able to shrink in size so I don't think Nerdio can push that change right?

[VermaThinks]

Nice info . Dean can you please share a vedio on azure microservices?

[ZapDog]

Great vid! Only 235 views as of 5/4/23, but maybe do an update. More and more places are using Nerdio now (no I do not work for Nerdio!)

[NicecubeD]

Great video but don't like the nerdio product
