DaaS vs Traditional End User Computing

Today’s mobile and security demands have outgrown the limitations of traditional desktops and laptops. This matrix shows how DaaS fills the gaps of legacy end-user computing by delivering enterprise-grade security, seamless mobility, and simplified IT logistics.

In a traditional client computing environment, users connect into wherever organizations hosts their resources. They take those resources on their device, work on them and upload them back. This presents numerous organizational challenges listed below: 

  • Increased risk of Security breach and data loss
  • Resource requirements increase with time
  • Increased risk due to Mobility
  • Management Nightmare
  • Scalability Challenges
  • Risk of Single Point of Failure
  • Increased costs due to Logistical challenges caused by Tariffs

XTIUM DaaS delivers stronger security, easier management, and greater flexibility than traditional desktops and laptops.

DaaS Solution
Deployment Considerations XTIUM DaaS Traditional End User Computing
Security
icon_full

Centralized, always-on security with continuous monitoring and compliance; no data resides on local devices.
icon_12_v2

Antivirus and VPN-dependent; Requires remote management of the physical client devices. Data can potentially be manipulated and stored on client devices and is at-risk of loss or compromise.
Mobility
icon_full

Access from anywhere, any device; ideal for hybrid and remote workforces.
icon_12_v2

User must have and use company-issued client device. Can only access 'internal' data and systems if either physically on-network or connected via VPN.
Productivity
icon_full

Faster app performance, lower downtime, and better user experience with cloud-optimized delivery. Users do their work where their data and applications reside, leading to boosts in productivity and performance.
icon_12_v2

Performance varies by hardware; downtime from break/fix or patches.
Logistics
icon_full

No physical devices to ship, image, or manage‚ DaaS provisioning is instant and scalable. Enables the flexibility of Bring Your Own Device.
icon_12_v2

Requires physical procurement, shipping, imaging, and desk setup.
Technology Platform O/S
icon_full

Runs on Citrix, Omnissa, or Azure with enterprise-grade infrastructure and managed delivery.
icon_12_v2

Requires time-consuming and costly administration and support of physical remote client devices.
Support & Management
icon_full

Fully managed by XTIUM‚ from provisioning to patching to upgrades.
icon_12_v2

Burden on internal IT to manage every device lifecycle. Requires hands-on, time-consuming device management, patching, application management, inventory management, and administration on a ongoing basis. Remote devices can only be supported while remaining online, presenting challenges.
Portal Access
icon_full

Flexible app and image configurations based on roles, departments, and compliance needs.
icon_12_v2

Often no unified portal; management tools vary across devices.
Customization
icon_full

Flexible app and image configurations based on roles, departments, and compliance needs.
icon_12_v2

Manual configurations and limited flexibility without reimaging. Often, physical client harware is spec'd prescriptively for the Operating System that is running at purchase. This can make future upgrade paths challenging.
Migration Support
icon_full

Includes migration planning and execution support.
icon_12_v2

Manual migrations, reimaging, and end-user support overhead.
Pricing Model
icon_full

OpEx subscription with predictable monthly costs; no large upfront investment.
icon_12_v2

CapEx-heavy with unpredictable support costs and hardware refresh cycles.
Differentiators
icon_full

Named a Challenger in 2024 Gartner MQ for DaaS; expert-led deployment and optimization..
icon_12_v2

Outdated approach not optimized for hybrid work, security, or scalability.
