AVD management doesn’t have to be hard and expensive.
If you run Azure Virtual Desktop, you know the pain: unpredictable costs, fragile PowerShell scripts, fragmented visibility, and tab-hopping between the Azure Portal, Intune, and a dozen custom tools just to keep the lights on.
ControlUp’s answer is DaaS IQ — a purpose-built control plane for AVD that replaces the chaos with smart, reusable policies, centralized lifecycle management, and real-time cost intelligence. In this session, we go under the hood with the PM who built it.
This is a no-fluff, techie show-and-tell with Gilad Broun, DaaS IQ Product Manager. Gilad walks through the who, what, why, and how of DaaS IQ — straight from the source — then takes questions from the community.
What’s covered:
- The what and the why — where DaaS IQ fits in the ControlUp ONE platform, who it’s built for (AVD admins, MSPs, and IT leaders wrestling with cloud spend), and the operational and FinOps problems it solves.
- How it works under the hood — a live walkthrough of intelligent autoscaling, reusable Peak/Off-Hour Scale Profiles across host pools, Host Lifecycle Management (drain, restart, delete, configure), automated golden-image refreshes to kill configuration drift, Spend Intelligence to expose wasted DaaS dollars, and tag-based RBAC with a full audit trail.
- Live Q&A — the hardest AVD problems from the community, answered.
This isn’t a marketing pitch. It’s a community-driven, technical conversation with the PM who owns the roadmap. Whether you’re already using ControlUp, evaluating DaaS IQ, or just trying to understand how the industry is rethinking AVD operations and FinOps, you’ll come away with a sharper picture.
