Hi all,

I’m looking for feedback from sysadmins who have real experience with VDI in production.

I work for a large media company , and there’s a plan to migrate a significant number of users to VDI by 2027. We have an internal discussion about this tomorrow, so I’d like to get some honest opinions.

For those running VDI at scale:

  • Do you feel it was worth it overall?
  • What were the biggest challenges (performance, cost, user experience)?
  • Which use cases worked well, and which didn’t?
  • If you had to do it again, would you still go with VDI?

Also, more generally:

  • Is VDI still growing, or are companies moving away from it toward other solutions?

Context: mix of office users and some heavier media-related workloads.

Appreciate any real-world feedback — especially lessons learned.
