It's a current reality, with nearly 75% of U.S. workers working remotely at least some of the time, according to Owl Labs' State of Remote Work 2019 Report. Data scientists and other data professionals are no exception to the rule and are able to bring their work home with them if and when the need, or desire, arises. However, a switch to remote work isn't as straightforward as simply taking a work laptop home.

Is anyone actually doing this in practice? I feel like most deployments I see have users launch published applications after logging in through a web portal. We have been using a web portal to deliver our web applications since day one and have not had any issues with it. I was wondering if there was any real benefit to having users access the applications through Workspace. Well, Admin side- you just have to publish app, so that it works from workspace as well as browser. It all depends on user ease to use either method. In my personal opinion, end users find workspace launch easy because in browser, you always have to re-enter your credentials once web session terminates per the time out admins set on netscaler/SF but in workspace, user just have to refresh and apps will appear.
