Cloud-based desktop computing environment that allows users to access their desktop, applications, and files from any device with internet connection.
Virtual Desktop lets employees work from home by accessing their company computer and software through a web browser.
All provide managed virtual desktop experiences, but with different approaches: Amazon WorkSpaces and Azure Virtual Desktop are purpose-built DaaS/VDI platforms. Google Cloud does not offer a first-party DaaS equivalent; virtual desktops are commonly delivered on GCP using partner solutions or VDI stacks (e.g., Citrix/VMware) and can be supported via Google Cloud VMware Engine. OCI offers a managed Desktop-as-a-Service for delivering secure cloud desktops.
