"Easy Use Shared Option - for small business application."
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

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.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

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.

"The new standard for EUC and virtual workstations as a service"
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

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

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

BYOL is not as straightforward as it should be and as higher than expected costs. However, this will likely go down overtime. 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.

"Dedicated Workstation for a great value"
