Microsoft desktop and endpoint management for enterprise IT teams and MSPs

You decide how your Microsoft desktops run.

Put recurring work on rules you define. Give your team the access it needs. Keep the visibility to decide what happens next.

Nerdio adds automation and management to Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, and Intune, with Microsoft 365 management for managed service providers. You can spend less time carrying out routine tasks and more time shaping how the environment operates.

The work behind the work

You know how to do the work. You shouldn’t have to keep repeating it.

When every capacity adjustment needs someone at the keyboard, growth creates more maintenance.

When routine changes depend on a few experienced people, those people become the queue.

When a budget question means reconstructing what happened, you spend the meeting explaining the past instead of recommending what comes next.

You need the work done correctly. You also need it to happen without your team carrying out every step again.

Your expertise should shape the system, not become a permanent requirement for every routine action.

Your starting point

What do you need to get done next?

Start with the responsibility on your plate. You don’t need to choose a product yet.

What do you manage?

You run IT for your organization You run IT for clients

Choose your starting point.

[ 01 ] Capacity & costs Your AVD costs are rising, or a busy period is approaching. Make capacity available when people need it, without leaving unnecessary resources running afterward. Your path: AVD management and cost visibility [ 02 ] Team capacity Routine administration keeps delaying improvements. Turn recurring work into defined workflows your team can carry out and check. Your path: Desktop, application, and endpoint management [ 03 ] Your next environment A renewal or business requirement is forcing a desktop decision. Choose a suitable environment and plan the transition around your applications, users, and operating costs. Your path: AVD or Windows 365, migration capabilities, and adoption support [ 04 ] Consistent standards Device and application configurations are becoming inconsistent. Apply your standards and identify exceptions without inspecting every environment separately. Your path: Intune and application management [ 05 ] For MSPs Your MSP is preparing to onboard more clients. Reuse delivery standards while preserving the client-specific decisions that matter. Your path: Microsoft 365 and multi-client operations [ 06 ] A defensible decision Leadership needs a recommendation. Explain what changes, what it costs, and how you’ll judge whether the decision was worthwhile. Your path: Cost modeling, reporting, and product evaluation

From a decision to an action

Set a rule. See what follows.

AVD scaling in Nerdio Manager for Enterprise. You set the conditions. The resulting work stays inspectable.

[ 01 ] Define

You set the conditions.

Choose your capacity limits, scaling triggers, and schedules. Define how resources should respond as demand changes.

[ 02 ] Execute

Nerdio carries out the adjustments.

Session hosts start, stop, or are created or removed according to the configuration and demand. You choose the scaling settings, including how scale-in treats user sessions.

[ 03 ] Inspect

You inspect the result.

Review the task status and resource details. Investigate work that needs attention, then adjust your configuration as requirements change.

You choose the balance between available capacity, running costs, and the treatment of active sessions.

How the offerings work together

Your next rollout needs more than a working desktop.

You also need the right applications available, policies your team can maintain, and clear responsibilities when something needs attention. Bring those decisions into the same evaluation.

You’re preparing a desktop rollout.

Start with the people who need access and the work they need to do.

Compare desktop options and costs. Establish the image and application requirements. Plan endpoint policies, decide who can perform routine actions, and define how you’ll check the result.

You’re preparing to serve another client.

Start with the service you’ve agreed to deliver.

Choose the configurations you can reuse. Define user onboarding and application requirements. Give technicians appropriate access, then review the recurring work and infrastructure costs against your service model.

Review the MSP capabilities

Use your demo to confirm the supported connections, manual steps, and requirements for your configuration. These paths are evaluation sequences, not a claim that every step is one automated transaction.

You don’t need to solve every problem at once. You need a worthwhile place to begin.

You need a business case you can explain, not a savings percentage detached from your environment.

See the numbers and the comparison behind them.

Compare your current operating costs with the proposed setup. Include Nerdio fees, applicable Microsoft licensing, Azure consumption, implementation work, and any additional support.

In Nerdio Manager for Enterprise, Executive Insights lets you review recorded AVD costs against the projected costs of an equivalent Azure-native deployment without Nerdio’s optimization features.

That comparison is modeled, not a second bill. Request the assumptions behind it and assess how well they reflect your environment.

Make the decision on your terms

A new platform should earn its place.

Nerdio is worth evaluating when recurring administration, changing demand, or multi-client delivery is limiting what your team can take on.

Start with one workflow that matters. Compare it with the way you work today. Include the effort of adopting and operating another tool.

Your current approach belongs in that comparison, too.

You should be able to identify what changes, why it matters, and what you’ll use to verify it.

What does Nerdio add to the Microsoft tools you already have?

You’re evaluating additional automation, management workflows, reporting, and delegated access around Microsoft services. The useful comparison is between a specific Nerdio workflow and the native tools or scripts your team uses today.

See how Nerdio extends Microsoft

Do you have to migrate before Nerdio can help?

No. You can evaluate Nerdio for ongoing management of an existing environment, not only for a new deployment or migration. Confirm the requirements for the Microsoft services and configuration you use.

Review AVD management

Will automation take decisions away from your team?

For configurable workflows such as AVD scaling, you define the operating conditions. You can review the resulting tasks and revise the configuration. Your team still needs to test changes and decide whether the settings meet your requirements.

Review the scaling controls

Do you need every offering?

No. Your evaluation should start with the capabilities relevant to your job. Available features and commercial arrangements vary by product and edition. Confirm what your selected offering includes before purchase.

Enterprise editions MSP offerings

Will Nerdio run your environment for you?

You’re buying management software, with customer-success and technical-support programs available under defined arrangements. A software subscription should not be treated as fully outsourced IT.

Confirm which responsibilities stay with your team or service provider and what assistance your agreement covers.

Review customer success and support

Can you expect the savings shown in a customer story?

Not automatically. Your result depends on your workload, existing configuration, usage patterns, licensing, and implementation. Establish your own baseline and include the complete operating cost in the comparison.
