Amazon WorkSpaces Reviews & Product Details

One of the best features which I like most is I can access my Office Laptop at home without going to the office. I can access my office desktop remotely from anywhere in the world. It is beneficial in the current situation of the covid pandemic as I am working from home; it is impossible to access an office workstation, so AWS enables me to work at home by creating a virtual desktop of the office. I can use it anywhere in the world with just a single login process, and I am good to go. It maintains complete privacy and security to clients' confidential data. No fear of data security breach. It is very easy to configure. It is very easy to use and also does not require any special training before using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a little bit slow. Java applications become slower in it sometimes frustrates more as work takes more time to complete than usual. It requires a fast internet connection to work efficiently; whenever the internet is slow, it disconnects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it brings the ability to work on a machine remotely in my case. That's the use I have for QA testing a website that requires several QA and Dev environments. That are only accessible via the Remote Control machine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me, I find that the remote connection is way too slow. It doesn't matter my ISP internet speed or my local machine specs, RAM, processor. The remote connection is really really slow. To the point that the screen sometimes lags and you can see the mouse going in and out as you move it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS is simple: Access ID, User Log-in ID, & Password - It becomes an active space like opening windows in Chrome. We use UJet, J-sync, Outlook, as well as Chrome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS doesn't always work well with transmission connectivity for headphones - there seems to be a lot of feedback on calls with customers. This results in disconnections and callbacks, hence frustrating our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazingly easy to bring your own license, manage costs, configure standard packages and software, as well as implement GPO and corporate standards. AWS workspaces have a few intricacies to deal with but overall, this is the future of computing for EUC and personal workstations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BYOL is not as straightforward as it should be and has higher than expected costs. However, this will likely go down over time. For Windows, the setup time for a new machine is drastically higher than it should be. Again, this will hopefully become faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can install the app on any windows 10 computer, use my credentials, and access to work from everywhere with a basic internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are moments that the app is not working properly, I am not sure if it is the app, the network of their servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes AWS can lag and cause a delay in my productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many resources within the tool and it can function as a normal desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be difficult to navigate because of the firewalls. For example, uploading things saved to your device becomes complicated and you have to email or use dropbox to obtain your files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy using AWS Workspaces as there are independent projects that I engage in that I want to keep separate from others but do not want to take on multiple hardware devices. Using AWS Workspaces allows me to maintain cost-effective cloud resources to handle these projects as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I had selected a larger user workspace volume at the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
