AppsAnywhere
What it is
AppsAnywhere centralizes software access and delivery for students, staff, and faculty at higher education institutions, on and off campus. It selects among institution-configured delivery methods using factors such as device type, operating system, location, and whether a device is personally owned or university-managed. Its regularly updated catalog includes more than 150 software titles, including MATLAB, ArcGIS, Adobe, and Autodesk apps. AppsAnywhere Analytics tracks when, where, and how applications are used to help institutions optimize software licensing and virtual desktop costs. Listed learning management integrations include Canvas, Blackboard, and D2L Brightspace. Delivery connections include Cloudpaging, Microsoft SCCM and App-V, Amazon AppStream 2.0, Parallels RAS, Azure Virtual Desktop, VMware Horizon, and Jamf Pro. Authentication options include Kerberos, OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0, LDAP bind, Active Directory, Azure AD, and Shibboleth. The desktop client is available for Windows and macOS, with Linux, iOS, and Android also listed as supported operating systems. Pricing is on request; a brochure describes usage-based pricing without a numeric amount.
