Is Dizzion Halo a VDI / DaaS replacement?

No, not really, some Secure Enterprise Browser solutions, like Island, position themselves as VDI replacements — but it’s not that simple. It really comes down to the use case. Suppose customers only need access to SaaS applications. In that case, Dizzion Halo (and solutions like Island) can provide secure access as VDI/DaaS does, but at a lower cost. However, Halo and other SEB solutions are not the right fit for Windows applications since they require a managed Windows runtime. VDI, DaaS, and Cloud PC — collectively known as Virtual Desktops and Apps — provide access to secure Windows and SaaS applications. However, they require infrastructure to stream desktops and apps over a network. In this scenario, the endpoint browser can be secured using a Secure Every Browser solution like Halo.
