DTS Desktop as a Service review
Managed Windows and Linux desktops with flexible persistence and device support.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DTS Desktop as a Service delivers centrally managed virtual desktops and applications from DTS data centers. It is aimed at organizations that want managed workplace infrastructure, including teams that need either dedicated persistent desktops or multi-session environments. Windows and Linux support, access from web, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, and support for different devices and locations give it a broad endpoint footprint. Its deployment model is public cloud, rather than a choice of cloud and on-premises delivery.
Persistence options are a central strength: DTS offers single-session persistent desktops as well as multi-session persistent or non-persistent desktops. Service packages vary by memory, storage and vCPU capacity, while multi-monitor configurations and audio, video and USB devices are supported. Continuous infrastructure monitoring and reporting are included. Multi-factor authentication is available, and optional services include golden-image backup and maintenance, endpoint protection and Active Directory hardening. This makes the offer relevant to teams that want a managed desktop environment with operational oversight, though buyers should account for optional services when comparing scope.
According to the vendor's pricing information, the product uses a contact-sales model rather than published recurring plan prices. A 30-day proof-of-concept offer for ten virtual desktops is described, but it is distinct from a standard subscription plan. Support is available around the clock through email and tickets. DTS Desktop as a Service may suit small, mid-market and enterprise organizations that value managed Windows or Linux desktops and flexible session models. Teams that need transparent recurring prices or a deployment model beyond public cloud should compare alternatives before proceeding.
