"Lots of Tools & User Friendly,"

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

"Dedicated Workstation for a great value"
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

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.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

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

"Amazon Workspace Review"
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

It provides a great Virtual desktop environment to work within your client's network and it consumes less space and runs smoothly. It is compatible with Windows and other Operating Systems and does not take much space to install. Also, the software is free to use and easy to install. It has a simple User Interface and connects securely. It helps to become productive while keep running your job smoothly on the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

Sometimes it gets disconnected automatically when the network is stable and I have to login again. It takes time. Also, sometimes it lags if the client's network is weak. Some time due to server problem authentication fails and won't be able to reconnect and it takes too long. For using Amazon workspace your system should have good RAM memory and disc space.

"The best virtual/remote desktop application out there. Period."
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

The best feature is one can access their office desktop at home from their personal computer with secure connection, provided the company has integrated the service. Runs on low spec systems too with ease, virtual machine specifications can be upgraded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

Requires a good and high speed internet or one may face high 'ping' or latency while using the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
