Has anyone tried Desktop as a Service at their dealership with or without success?

What DMS are/were you running?

We are currently running this down and have CDK and are looking into AVD. Obviously DaaS/VDi has been around for years, but in the auto dealer space that's not the case. I would love to hear any feedback you can provide. Thanks!

A dealer using CDK inquires about implementing Desktop as a Service (DaaS) or Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) at their dealership, noting that while these technologies are established elsewhere, adoption remains limited in automotive retail. The post seeks peer experiences and feedback from other dealers who have attempted DaaS deployments with various DMS platforms to inform their decision-making process. No conclusion or key insights emerged in the original post—this is an open question awaiting community responses.
