DaDesktop vs. Strigo: Why DaDesktop Is the Clear Winner

Why choose DaDesktop over Strigo?

While Strigo provides sophisticated drop-in infrastructure support, it struggles with cost, performance, and the absence of nested virtualisation—that is, the ability to run virtual machines inside the application's VM. Nested virtualisation is especially valuable for teaching server applications like Kubernetes and Docker, as it gives you a full 'end to end' testing environment.

DaDesktop, in contrast, delivers a cost-effective, high-performance solution with exceptionally fast nested virtualisation turned on by default, a more intuitive interface, and an on-premises option. With a far greater number of data centres, it ensures much lower connection latency, guaranteeing a smooth, powerful, and highly responsive learning experience every single time.

DaDesktop is also a complete, ready-to-go solution, whereas Strigo is just a drop-in product that often demands complex configuration when integrating with an existing LMS—potentially leading to firewall issues for clients.

Finally, for customers across India who need an on-prem option that they can host themselves for accountability and security, DaDesktop fully supports this. Strigo, on the other hand, is only available as an API-hosted platform and seemingly cannot be deployed on-prem in this way.
