AppTitude for Microsoft App-V™

App-V is a powerful way to get your applications to your users – as long as they're ready to be virtualized.

AppTitude for App-V will help you:

  • Dramatically reduce App-V deployment time and cost
  • Avoid the risk of isolations causing applications to fail
  • Assess the issues and measure risk quickly
  • Identify dependencies early on and enable successful sequencing

Tackling the Interoperability Challenge

App-V is a great way to tackle application interoperability challenges because it isolates applications from each other and the OS. But this can cause problems for applications that need to be closely integrated with the OS or other applications.

To get to App-V quickly and painlessly you need to identify which applications are ready and which need some remediation. That's where AppTitude for App-V comes in.

AppTitude for App-V highlights issues that make applications unsuitable for virtualization (such as co-dependent resources needed for application grouping). You can then clearly see which of your applications are good candidates for App-V and which will need help.
