Laggy mouse movements, pixelated screen images, unresponsive clicks, endless loading screens, the dreaded “wheel of death.” Unfortunately, that experience – frustratingly slow and out of sync – has become the norm for VDI users. But VDI’s not just an inconvenience; its usage negatively impacts productivity and hurts business outcomes. For the majority of enterprise applications, there’s no longer a need to compensate for the limitations of VDI with an overall poor experience for end users. It’s time to embrace a solution that naturally and securely enhances productivity and drives organizational success. It’s time for smoother operations and happier users. It’s time for an enterprise browser. See the difference: https://lnkd.in/gVH8x3GV

You can’t just flip a switch and turn organizational security on or off. Or at least, you shouldn’t. Because with rigid security controls come frustrated, inconvenienced end users who often try to find their own way around it. There’s a new way - one that’s flexible, lets you govern security, data, and users down to the most granular level, and most importantly: so smooth and natural that there’s no negative impact on your users’ efficiency and productivity. Our co-founder and CEO Michael Fey shares more.

The cost of VDI continues to rise dramatically, at a time when it’s not offering any new innovation. A time when work is almost completely cloud-based, and we’re asking VDI to do things it doesn’t need to do, for reasons it wasn’t built for. A time when it’s become a barrier to our end users and their productivity. The future of work isn’t virtualized. It’s built in. The future is here. And it’s as simple as swapping out your browser.

Between the pandemic’s impact on work-life balance and the rise of BYOD, the line between personal and business has blurred when it comes to the browsers we use. We’ve used VDI as a tool to fortify that line, but it’s come with its own set of problems – It’s expensive, it’s clunky, it’s frustrating for end users. But there’s a new path forward. A path that doesn’t have to completely overhaul and replace VDI and DaaS, but can radically reduce its usage and associated costs instead. A path that naturally folds all the IT, security, and productivity gains of VDI into the familiar browsing experience users love. A path that doesn’t make your team choose between personal privacy and workplace security. That path forward is the Enterprise Browser – work’s natural next step.
