Overall very happy with our partnership with softdrive.

PROS

Software is easy to deploy and use. Very customizable, team worked with us on our specific requirements and customer support has always been top notch.

None that i can think of at the moment. Most of our concerns were resolved within the first few months of using the product.

Reasons for switching to Softdrive

Ease of implementation and speed of deployment. Also extended support above what we got with Microsoft.

Thanks for being a great partner Michael! Looking forward to the continued client-vendor relationship and creating the best Cloud-desktop on the market!

Softdrive - Revit Experience

PROS

The system is capable of running large Revit Projects in excess of 100-200mB in file size, of course depending on the Package you pay for. But in the case you intend to use Large projects with this system it is more than capable.

CONS

The Multi-Monitor mode needs to be updated to have the choice of choosing certain monitors to display Softdrive while leaving others to display the original Device you used to access Softdrive remotely. Currently the system only allows for all screens to display Softdrive or only One screen.

Definitely recommend

Softdrive has been an excellent addition to my work- makes it very easy to access my files and programs from anywhere without having to carry around an external hard drive. It has been excellent working with the development team in the event something goes wrong. They are easy to work with and respond quickly to any issues that arise.

PROS

The software and associated app are very easy to use, and syncs very well with existing workflow. The multi-monitor functionality has been an excellent addition to the software

CONS

if the internet is slow, it can make using the virtual machine difficult and cause it to lag

Vendor Response

Thanks Sara! We've just released our low-bandwidth mode! Be sure to give it a try!

Flexible and Convenient

PROS

Softdrive is a great platform for anyone looking to have a dedicated machine they can access from anywhere! I keep forgetting that I'm on a virtually machine and not my laptop. It has been very stable for me and the users that we've deployed machines to. Keep up the great work guys!

CONS

At the moment Softdrive does not have support for microphone or webcam which makes meeting a little bit of a hassle, but they have said that these features will be coming within the next few months. That's really the biggest inconvenience though so to me Softdrive is more than worth that short term inconvenience!

Vendor Response

Hey Chad, thanks for the review, and we're thrilled you're enjoying your experience! Webcam + Microphone will actually be released next week! Stay tuned!

Best VDI platform available on the market hands down.

We were able to significantly reduce our net cost for powerful desktop PCs while introducing more efficiency. Now that the team is set up with virtual machines and able to work from anywhere I don't think we're ever going back.

PROS

I have tested other VDI systems and they are simply not fast enough and a pain to get set up and very expensive. SoftDrive provides great value, has near zero latency and is super easy to deploy.

CONS

Would like to be able to support Mac users. They have indicated that this is on the roadmap.

Reasons for switching to Softdrive

Went virtual.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review Tom! We're actively working towards Mac functionality! Stay tuned!

The internet disconnections I use to have. Bold the word "use". This issue no longer occurs

Seemless and reliable!

Soft drive allows my firm to do a lot more with less upfront cost and overhead. Our processes require a great deal of computing power and soft drive offers a simple and reliable way to meet our computing requirements, and not have to worry about machines breaking and needing to be replaced.

PROS

Integration was super easy, and it felt like I was working on a local machine pretty much right away. I really enjoyed using soft drive and I would recommend it to anyone.

CONS

The only bad things I experienced integrating to/using soft drive were user error.

Vendor Response

Thanks Joe! Softdrive is looking forward to working with your firm soon!

Fastest remote desktop I've ever used

I like working with people that a fun to work with, and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been wonderful to work with. He has helped us every step of the way.

PROS

Its easy to get on, and you cant even tell you are on a remote desktop once you are connected.

CONS

There is nothing that I see as a downside.
