The solution is quite heavy in terms of resources like RAM and CPU. They should minimize the number of resources. Also, the installation process could be simpler for end users to understand. They should make it compatible with Windows and Linux. Presently, it works well only with Mac systems. In addition, they should enhance essential security features.

The way they handle snapshotting can be improved. One time, I moved a machine from one to another, and I tried to pull it up on the second machine, but it didn't work. This was because I had not cleaned up the snapshot before I deleted it and moved it across. So, when I tried to pull it up, it wouldn't let me bring it up. The backups for the VMs themselves can also be improved. I pretty much have to rely on Windows backups and not something on VMware. That's where it needs improvement. I am able to upload from my Fusion into the ESXi easily. I'm able to spin something up on Fusion and push it into the big arena, but the reverse is not as easy, that is, trying to pull something down from that. I would love to have a functionality where I could pull something from the VMware infrastructure into Fusion, but I'm not sure if I can take something from ESXi and pull it into Fusion.
What is a virtual desktop? A virtual desktop separates the desktop environment from the physical computer or device by using virtualization technology. This allows users to access their virtual desktops remotely using any connected endpoint device.
Virtual desktops infrastructures (VDI) can be hosted in virtual machines (VM) in a central server, or hosted in the cloud through a Desktop as a Service (DaaS) offering. Users can access the virtual operating system, applications, and data...
The solution could be a little more stable.
VMware Fusion's licensing cost needs improvement.

I would like to see newer and updated cloud functions.
