Virtual Desktop Infrastructure: Comparing Citrix, VMware Horizon & Azure AVD for Enterprise Selecting the right Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) platform is one of the most consequential decisions an enterprise IT architect will make — and the market has never been more complex. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, VMware Horizon, Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), and Nutanix Frame each offer distinct advantages depending on your cloud strategy, existing infrastructure, application portfolio, and budget. Anunta's enterprise VDI solutions are platform-agnostic — supporting all leading VDI platforms as well as delivering Anunta's own Desktop as a Service (DaaS) managed service on top of them. This comparison covers deployment models, licensing, performance benchmarks, security capabilities, management tooling, and total cost of ownership for each VDI platform. It also explores how DaaS — as a managed wrapper around any VDI platform — simplifies operations and accelerates digital workspace transformation without requiring a platform rip-and-replace.
