AppSense delivers new solutions for mid-market, virtual and physical desktops

AppSense, the leading provider of User Environment Management (UEM) solutions to over 3,000 organizations and 7M endpoints, is launching new versions of its DesktopNow suite that are tailored to support virtual desktops, physical desktops, and mid-market organizations.

The DesktopNow Virtual Edition, DesktopNow PC Edition and UEM Essentials together enable organizations of every size, industry, and use case to tap into the power of UEM simply and economically. With these additions, along with existing solutions, AppSense now offers product packages and price points that address all segments of the market.

"AppSense has long been the global leader for UEM solutions serving customers with the largest most complex desktops. Smaller organizations and those running a mixture of desktop delivery models including virtual, physical, and DaaS also benefit tremendously from enhanced user experience and better IT security and control. AppSense now delivers targeted solutions that tailor the power of AppSense products, in fast and easy to deploy packages at a lower cost and with simplified infrastructure," said Ravi Khatod, SVP of Marketing at AppSense. "With our laser focus on product simplicity and solutions tailored to customer needs, organizations no longer need to settle for inferior point products or worry about the ability to scale as their business grows.

With users increasing roaming across physical and virtual environments it is essential for IT departments to manage personalization, policy, application privilege, and performance across the user’s complete environment and deliver optimized user productivity, lower costs and simplified IT management.

DesktopNow PC Edition offers businesses with physical desktop estates fast, simple PC recovery and replacement, improved end-point security, including zero-day protection, and increased IT efficiency with a reduced number of golden images to maintain.

DesktopNow Virtual Edition enables organizations to improve user satisfaction and user acceptance dramatically when working in a virtual workspace environment. Key benefits include faster logons, application and desktop optimization, increased IT efficiency and the economic benefits of non-persistent VDI.

“AppSense helped us demonstrate a clear return on investment for our virtualization project while ensuring that our users stayed happy and productive both during and after the transition”, said Tom Leyden, Head of Technology at Hassell, a multidisciplinary design agency. “Cost overruns and poor user experience are two big reasons that desktop virtualization projects fail, so AppSense is the key ingredient that organizations of all sizes should consider when planning a physical to virtual migration.”

AppSense UEM Essentials enables mid-market businesses to solve the most common issues in deploying virtual desktops. Based on the same proven UEM technology that is used by over 3,000 enterprises globally, UEM Essentials extends beyond simple profile management to enable superior IT control via granular contextual policy, and better customer ROI through enabling non-persistent VDI. These capabilities allow IT teams to reduce costs, improve IT control, and deliver the best possible desktop experience to users, all in a very affordable solution that can expand as the customer’s business grows.

“The customers we work with always see the value that AppSense can bring across their desktop environment, but they sometimes prefer to start with a more focused investment,” Natasha Whybrow, Head of Enterprise Vendor Development at Ultima, an AppSense Platinum partner. “UEM Essentials and other the AppSense products allow us to offer the right solution for the right use case, at a competitive, affordable price for both large enterprises and small businesses.”
