Nine questions. That's all it takes to find out if you picked the wrong cloud desktop platform. AVD and Windows 365 aren't interchangeable. One fits shift workers and simple app stacks. The other fits knowledge workers with deep app libraries. Mix them up and you'll spend the next two years fighting the platform instead of your actual problems. We built the Cloud Desktop Challenge from what our engineers have seen across hundreds of real AVD and Windows 365 deployments. Answer honestly about your users, your app count, your team's Azure depth, and your scale. Get a personalized platform fit score in return. Take the assessment: buff.ly/fuCMHUo

A financial company found $475,900 in wasted spend. It was hiding in disconnected sessions nobody thought to check. Here's the problem: someone disconnects from their virtual desktop but never logs off. The session stays open. The vCPU and RAM stay allocated. Nobody's using them, but you're still paying for them. We saw this firsthand running Stratusphere UX in one customer's environment. In a sample of 69 workspaces monitored over seven days, nearly 13 vCPUs were being consumed by sessions that were disconnected, not logged off. That's real infrastructure sitting idle while budgets tighten. Scale that pattern across their full 3,500 virtual workspaces and the number gets big fast. Most platforms give you tools to auto-disconnect idle sessions. GPOs, timeout intervals, all the standard levers. But none of that works if you can't see which sessions are actually sitting there wasted in the first place. Visibility is the missing piece. Once you can see it, you can fix it.
