End user benefits.
- Your users can quickly get up and running with their Cloud PCs and stream their personalised Windows experience—including their apps, content, and settings—to any device.
- Streamed from the cloud and travelling with you, Windows 365 is always ready and always updated, wherever you are, on whatever device that you want to work on.
- Employees can pick up where they left off as the status of their Cloud PC stays the same even when they swap devices.
IT benefits.
- Windows 365 simplifies procurement, deployment, management, and updates because, unlike other solutions, it uses virtualisation behind the scenes.
- It comes with multiple configuration options that can be easily adapted to suit employee needs, giving them the right computing power and memory to get the job done when and how they need to.
- Windows 365 is secure by design, using the power of the cloud and the principles of Zero Trust. Information is secured and stored in the cloud, and not on the device, this ensuring a secure and productive experience for users.
- Windows 365 is always up-to-date and builds on extensive Microsoft security features. It does away with complex layers of security and recommends the best security settings to each environment.
- We know that the procurement process can be hard work for IT departments, but Windows 365 makes purchasing Cloud PCs predictable with per user per month pricing.

What’s more, no special skills or knowledge in the field of virtualisation are required as the IT department can use the same tools they use today to manage devices.
Now you can manage your physical and virtual endpoints side by side in Microsoft Endpoint Manager.

Azure Virtual Desktop is a flexible platform that is managed in your Microsoft or Bechtle customer subscription. It has its own integrated management, but you can also use Citrix and VMware as alternatives and prices are flexible and use-based.
Highlights include complete desktop management as you have network control in the Azure portal with pay-as-you-go and reserved instances pricing options.
Windows 365 for Windows 10 / Windows 11 Personal Desktops is an end-to-end SaaS service fully managed by Microsoft. That means that Microsoft manages the subscription on which the desktops run as well as the entire VDI infrastructure. You use Microsoft Endpoint Manager to monitor images just as you would with a normal PC. Windows 365 is charged at a fixed price per user and month.
It has been available through Enterprise Agreement contracts, CSP and Microsoft direct contracts since August.
