Alternative to Strigo

Why choose DaDesktop over Strigo?

While Strigo provides comprehensive drop-in infrastructure support, it often lacks in terms of affordability, performance, and the absence of nested virtualisation—specifically, the capability to run VMs within VMs for application testing. Nested virtualisation is particularly valuable when teaching server-side technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker, as it allows for the creation of a comprehensive 'end to end' test environment.

In contrast, DaDesktop delivers a cost-effective, high-performance solution with exceptionally fast nested virtualisation included by default. It features a more streamlined user interface and offers an on-site option backed by a significantly larger network of data centers. This extensive infrastructure ensures superior connection latency, guaranteeing a smooth, powerful, and highly responsive learning experience on every occasion.

Additionally, DaDesktop is a complete, ready-to-use solution, whereas Strigo is a drop-in component that may require complex configuration to integrate with other LMS systems, potentially leading to firewall issues for clients.

Finally, for customers who need an on-premises option to host the application themselves for accountability and security reasons, DaDesktop fully supports this deployment model. Conversely, Strigo is an API-hosted platform only and appears unable to be utilized in an on-premises capacity.
