Windows 365 Cloud PC – New Reports – Connection quality & Low Utilization

With the recent Windows 365 Cloud PC announcements in MS Ignite 2022, a couple of new reports that were introduced and in this post we shall take a sneak peek into them..

Cloud PC Performance Reports

The overall view of the Performance (Utilization & Connection) for the entire Cloud PC deployed is available in MEM Portal -> Devices -> Overview -> Cloud PC performance

Cloud PC with connection quality issues

Overall, devices within the environment will be listed along with the connection quality details of all the Cloud PC. The categories classified are Good, Average and High. Metric includes RTT – Round Trip latency (lower values provide a better end-user experience), Remote Sign-in (time taken for an end-user to complete the sign-in to the Cloud PC) and Available Bandwidth (Internet bandwidth during the end-users connection attempt to the Cloud PC).

Cloud PC utilization

Overall, devices are listed within the environment to gauge the end-users utilization into High, Average and low categories. Depending upon the outcome, a business decision can be made on whether to resize the Cloud PC or decommission it. (Cost Savings!)

Session Performance

This report is essentially showing you the sign-in and sign-out time of the Cloud PC, along with the overall session length. This will show you how much time the end-user is spending on their Cloud PC.

Connection quality

On a specific device level, you can further deep dive into the metric. The breakdown of the RTT/Bandwidth and Sign-in time on a daily basis for the last 7 days.
