Fourth consecutive recognition means Apporto has appeared in every edition of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for DaaS
PALO ALTO, Calif., August 5, 2026 – Apporto, a global provider of secure, browser-based virtual desktop solutions, today announced that it has been recognized in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Desktop as a Service.
This marks Apporto’s fourth consecutive recognition. The company has now appeared in every edition of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Desktop as a Service since the research was introduced in 2023.
“Innovation is meaningful only when it improves the experience of the people using it,” said Antony Awaida, Founder and CEO of Apporto. “For us, that means listening closely to customers, challenging the complexity that has defined virtual desktops for too long and designing technology around how people actually learn and work. Our goal is not simply to deliver desktops. It is to give people effortless access to what they need to do their best work.”
Apporto provides a flexible, browser-based platform for delivering virtual desktops, applications, and specialized learning and work environments across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployments. The platform supports use cases ranging from fully managed DaaS and virtual desktop infrastructure to virtual computer labs, digital workspaces, and cybersecurity labs.
Across these environments, Apporto combines Zero Trust security, multi-OS support, cloud storage integrations, real-time collaboration and AI-assisted operations with straightforward, predictable pricing. Organizations can provide secure access to applications and desktops from virtually any device while reducing infrastructure and administrative complexity.
“We believe four consecutive recognitions reflect what can happen when a company consistently invests in innovation and puts customers at the center of every decision,” said Mike Smith, Director of Marketing at Apporto. “We listen closely, move quickly and focus our roadmap on solving the real operational and user experience challenges customers face. That combination of innovation and customer focus is how we continue to raise expectations for what DaaS can deliver.”
The 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Desktop as a Service was published on August 5, 2026. The full research is available from Gartner.
