Learn how Zscaler can replace your VDI with a powerful, agentless, security-centric alternative.

Zscaler offers an agentless, browser-based alternative to VDI for secure application access on unmanaged devices.

 

Zscaler’s cloud native VDI alternative, including Browser Isolation, Data Protection, and Browser Access, offers three advantages:

  • Simplicity: No need to deploy and maintain agents or expensive VDI infrastructure.
  • Speed: Users get fast, seamless access to SaaS and private applications.
  • Security: Data security protects data moving to and from corporate applications.

The Problem

VDI places undue pressure on IT teams and their budgets

Despite being slow, complex, expensive, and insecure, VDI has long been the de facto solution for extending application access to unmanaged devices.

  1. VDI is complex, creating headaches in managing its agents and infrastructure.
  2. VDI is expensive, costing $1000 per user per year in licensing—not to mention the compute costs of VDI instances.
  3. VDI lacks data security as it pertains to extending access to part-time employees and contractors.
