Omnissa named a leader in Gartner 2025 DaaS Magic Quadrant
Omnissa has been named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Desktop as a Service (DaaS) for the third consecutive year and received one of the two highest scores across all evaluated Use Cases in Gartner's 2025 Critical Capabilities for DaaS report.
Gartner's research is widely referenced in the technology sector to benchmark product and vendor performance in the DaaS market. The Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute, while the Critical Capabilities report assesses providers against a set of functional criteria mapped to business use cases.
Bharath Rangarajan, Senior Vice President of Products and Technology Alliances at Omnissa, commented on the recognition, stating,
"In our view, being named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the third consecutive year is more than a milestone - it's a testament to our continued focus on innovation, execution, and delivering meaningful results for our customers. As organisations navigate increasing IT complexity, we remain committed to helping them by delivering solutions that enhance the employee experience while reducing the cost and effort of desktop management."
Omnissa's Horizon Cloud portfolio is at the core of its DaaS offering, providing secure virtual desktop and application delivery with options for deployment on public cloud services, hybrid infrastructures, or customer-managed data centre environments. The platform incorporates managed cloud infrastructure from providers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, enabling a range of enterprise use cases.
The Horizon Cloud solution is designed to offer secure access to desktops and applications from any supported device or browser. Organisations can select from deployment models that best fit their IT strategies, whether favouring fully cloud-hosted, hybrid, or on-premises configurations. According to the company, this flexibility allows businesses to adapt their virtual desktop strategy to evolving workforce needs while maintaining control over security and operational performance.
Horizon Cloud forms part of the broader Omnissa platform, which unifies virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), unified endpoint management (UEM), digital employee experience (DEX), and security and compliance features.

Omnissa states that by integrating these management, security, and user experience functions, its platform helps organisations reduce operational complexity and improve organisational resilience. The platform is designed to support both physical and virtual environments, promoting a consistent digital experience regardless of worker location or device choice.
