NextGen, AI‑powered desktop delivery — browser‑native, Zero Trust, multi‑OS
PALO ALTO, CA — August 13, 2025 — Apporto today announced it has been recognized in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Desktop as a Service (DaaS). Building on momentum from the past two years, Apporto is accelerating an AI‑powered, NextGen desktop platform that simplifies delivery, strengthens security, and elevates user experience—without the legacy VDI drag.
“Virtual desktops should feel instant, intelligent, and invisible,” said Antony Awaida, Founder & CEO of Apporto. “A top pain point has always been user experience. With Apporto, users can now diagnose and resolve many performance issues in real time with AI—no ticket required.”
Why it matters
- Browser‑native access (no clients, no VPN) across Windows, Linux, Mac
- Zero Trust with granular, role‑based controls + SSO
- High‑fidelity performance up to 4K @ 60fps with multi‑monitor support
- Deploy your way: fully managed DaaS, on‑prem NextGen VDI, or hybrid with cloud bursting
- Built‑in cloud storage integrations (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box)
- Education‑ready: LMS integration, Virtual Classroom, and real‑time collaboration
At the core is Portia, Apporto’s AI virtual desktop assistant, delivering natural‑language help and real‑time diagnostics (e.g., pinpointing sources of desktop lag) to proactively resolve issues and reduce helpdesk demand. Advanced admin and autonomous operations features are currently in beta.
“Every week I’m with customers who say Apporto feels refreshingly different—fast to roll out, effortless to manage, and backed by a team that operates like an extension of their own,” said Mike Smith, Director of Marketing at Apporto. “That partnership mindset, combined with our AI‑forward roadmap, is why they choose us—and why they stay.”
