Compare the Top Application Virtualization Software for Windows as of April 2025

What is Application Virtualization Software for Windows?

Application virtualization software allows applications to be run on various devices without being installed directly on the host operating system. This technology abstracts the application from the underlying hardware, enabling users to access applications remotely or on different devices while ensuring consistent performance and behavior. Application virtualization software packages applications in a virtual environment, which isolates them from the system, helping improve security, manageability, and compatibility across various platforms. It is commonly used in enterprise environments to reduce software installation conflicts, simplify updates, and provide secure access to critical applications. Compare and read user reviews of the best Application Virtualization software for Windows currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    vSpace

    vSpace

    NComputing

    You have a room or office full of people who all need computers. You could buy them, but that’s expensive and boring, at least until they start having issues. Then they’re expensive and frustrating. The smarter approach is to simplify what you deploy and save a bunch of time, money and effort. So you buy a server and install vSpace Pro Enterprise Edition. It’s replacing all those computers and hosts your virtualized desktops, probably in another room where you can’t see or hear it. You give each of your users a keyboard, mouse and monitor, then plug them into an NComputing access device like the RX300. Connect to your network via LAN or WIFI, and now each of your people have their own virtual computer with support for the latest Windows operating systems. Rejoice, the user data is on the server and easily backed-up. The applications and operating system are as well, so you are maintaining just one server instead of an army of computers.
