What’s Included: Microsoft 365 Apps and Cloud Features
Our platform comes packed with powerful features designed to help you succeed in today’s competitive market.
Licensing Made
Simple
Microsoft 365 Virtual Desktop Plans combine hosted desktops with productivity apps, keeping users on the latest versions across devices. Windows 365 Virtual Desktop Plans on the other hand license a dedicated Cloud PC with built-in resources and security. Apps4Rent helps organizations choose and manage the right model, ensuring compliance while balancing productivity apps and desktop operating systems.
Scalable Performance and GPU Options
Plans range from entry-level session-based desktops with 5 GB storage to dedicated Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers with higher vCPUs, RAM, and SSD capacity. Platinum Plus adds a Booster Plan with enhanced resources, while GPU acceleration is available across dedicated plans for graphics-heavy tasks. This structured scalability ensures businesses can match performance to evolving workloads.
Flexible Add-ons and Customization
Customers can expand desktops with extra SSD storage, GPU resources, MFA, or even additional users. Dedicated desktops include full admin rights to install applications, while session-based options offer limited control. These add-ons allow businesses to customize environments without overpaying for oversized plans.
Pre-Installed Apps and Microsoft 365 Access
Over 20 free applications and OpenOffice come pre-installed, making desktops usable from day one. Businesses can also integrate Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise for cloud storage, mobile access, and compliance-ready Office software. Automatic updates ensure teams always work with the latest versions, blending Microsoft tools with scalable cloud infrastructure.
Security, Access, and Compliance
All plans include encrypted transfers, daily backups, firewall protection, and certified data centers. Businesses benefit from advanced safeguards like password-protected idling, file-type blocking, and user-level permissions. With multi-device access and optional MFA, Apps4Rent’s Windows 365 and Microsoft 365 Virtual Desktop Plans provide a secure foundation for business continuity.
Trusted Support and Microsoft Expertise
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, Apps4Rent provides round-the-clock support for all Microsoft Virtual Desktop Plans. We have helped thousands of businesses successfully deploy and manage Microsoft 365 Virtual Desktop Plans and Windows 365 Virtual Desktop Plans. Our team ensures smooth migrations, tailored configurations, and ongoing assistance, giving organizations confidence and peace of mind while maximizing their Microsoft cloud investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our cloud desktop solutions
How much does Microsoft Remote Desktop cost?
Pricing depends on the plan you choose. Apps4Rent offers Microsoft Virtual Desktop Plans starting at $10/month for session-based access, with dedicated desktops beginning at $24.95/month.
How much does a VDA license cost?
Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licensing is included in our Windows 365 Virtual Desktop Plans and Microsoft 365 Virtual Desktop Plans, so there are no separate VDA costs for end users.
Is Azure Virtual Desktop worth it?
Azure Virtual Desktop is highly valuable for enterprises that need flexible scaling and integration with Azure services. However, for predictable pricing and simpler management, many businesses prefer our fixed-cost Microsoft Virtual Desktop Plans.
What’s the difference between Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop?
Windows 365 Virtual Desktop Plans provide a dedicated Cloud PC with per-user licensing and predictable pricing, while Azure Virtual Desktop is a multi-session platform billed on Azure consumption, offering greater scalability but variable costs.
Are there additional charges for GPU, RAM, or MFA in CloudDesktopOnline’s plans?
Yes. GPU resources, additional RAM or storage, and MFA can be added to most dedicated Microsoft Virtual Desktop Plans for a small monthly fee, allowing businesses to scale resources only as needed.
Can I install my own applications on the virtual desktop?
Yes. All dedicated Microsoft Virtual Desktop Plans and Windows 365 Virtual Desktop Plans include admin rights, so you can install custom applications. Session-based plans do not offer this option.
Is there support for multiple monitors and multi-platform access?
Yes. All plans support multiple monitors and access from PC, Mac, Linux, tablets, and smartphones, ensuring a consistent experience across devices.
How long does setup take, and is migration included?
Setup is quick, with most environments ready in hours. Apps4Rent also provides free email migration assistance to help transition existing workloads to our Microsoft 365 Virtual Desktop Plans smoothly.
