Alternative to Strigo
Why choose DaDesktop over Strigo?
Strigo provides intricate drop-in infrastructure support but is lacking when it comes to value for money, responsiveness, and the absence of nested virtualisation—the ability to run VMs within the VM inside the application. Nested virtualisation is especially handy for delivering training on server applications like Kubernetes and Docker, as it provides a complete 'end to end' testbed.
DaDesktop, by contrast, offers a cost-effective, high-performance solution with exceptionally fast nested virtualisation included as standard. It features a more straightforward user interface and an on-site option backed by a far greater number of worldwide data centres, which drastically reduces connection latency. This guarantees a smooth, powerful, and supremely responsive learning experience every single time.
DaDesktop also arrives as a fully ready-to-go solution, whilst Strigo is a drop-in product that may need complex configuration to integrate with another LMS system, potentially causing client-side firewall issues.
Lastly, for customers who require an on-prem option where they can host the application themselves for accountability and security reasons, DaDesktop fully supports this. Strigo, on the other hand, is an API-hosted platform only and does not appear to be usable on-prem in this manner.
