Alternative to Strigo

Why choose DaDesktop over Strigo?

Strigo offers complex drop-in infrastructure support but falls short on cost and speed, and lacks nested virtualisation, i.e., being able to run VMs within the VM in the application. Nested virtualisation is particularly useful when providing teaching on server applications such as Kubernetes and Docker to provide a full 'end to end' testbed.

DaDesktop, on the other hand, provides a cost effective, high performance solution, exceptionally fast nested virtualisation built-in by default, with a simpler user interface, an on-site option with a far greater number of datacentres available to provide far superior connection latency thus ensuring a smooth, powerful, exceptionally responsive learning experience every time.

DaDesktop is also a full, ready to go solution, whereas Strigo is a drop-in product, which may require complex configuration to be integrated within another LMS system thus potentially causing firewall issues for clients.

Finally, for customers who require an on-prem option where the application can be hosted by themselves for accountability and security concerns, DaDesktop fully supports this, whereas Strigo is an API-hosted platform only, and appears unable to be used on-premises in this way.
