Worth knowing

- The vendor's cost claim of 54% lower than VDI and DaaS comes from research it cites, not from a price list.
- Aimed at organizations; the pages read describe no self-serve plan for individuals.
Omnissa Horizon
- No prices are published; the products page offers Horizon SaaS and Horizon Term pricing only through the vendor.

Key features
Cameyo
- Apps as progressive web apps
- Legacy client-based applications are turned into progressive web apps that users open from an app shelf, with no VPN or virtual desktop.
- Zero-trust design
- The vendor says apps are separated from the device and the device from the network to reduce the attack surface.
- Local and cloud file access
- Virtualized apps can open and save files on the device's local file system or on cloud storage providers, as IT allows.
- Fewer virtual desktops
- Delivers individual apps instead of a full virtual Windows desktop, which the vendor says reduces infrastructure and licensing work.
Omnissa Horizon
- Full desktops and published apps
- Horizon 8 serves complete virtual desktops or individual applications, with centralized control over performance, policies and infrastructure.
- Deploy where it suits
- Desktops can run on-premises, in private clouds or in public cloud, and the site also lists air-gapped and isolated environments as a use case.
- App Volumes
- Omnissa App Volumes packages and delivers applications on demand, which the vendor says reduces image sprawl and speeds up updates.
- Automation through REST APIs
- Deployment and management tasks can be scripted with REST APIs and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.
- Horizon Cloud DaaS
- Horizon Cloud is a separate cloud-native desktop-as-a-service offering, and the site announces a version that runs on OpenStack.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
