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 simplicity and ease of setup and use of Amazon Workspaces make it an ideal virtual desktop environment to consider for various functions, including training, testing, proof of concept, development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only real issue I've encountered with Amazon Workspaces is that the performance can be spotty at times. For heavy-duty processing tasks or applications which require a lot of CPU and memory, be sure to request computing resources beyond what you would typically assume necessary to complete your tasks.

It's easy to use on both MAC and PC platforms. I never have to worry about whether I am in the office. The office goes with me everywhere I go. All of the programs I need are loaded on there for me. It's basically a computer inside of a computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some programs that don't function within AWS, like Zoom or other web video platforms. You have to use them outside of the platform, so if you need a document on your workspace, it can get tricky.

Additionally, only certain printers are hooked up. So if you are working remotely, you may have to take a file outside of AWS to be able to print it on a home computer. Again, these are things that could be fixed with your IT department, but would be nice if they were just intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
