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 juts intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AWS system is a process that we use in our company in order to be able to communicate in the realization of projects in a much easier way because all this process is virtual where we can easily carry out software testing processes, applications or any system in a virtual machine since it is the way AWS works, this process is much easier because any type of software can be implemented, in addition to this we can use any type of IP and protect our data by using the software at try AWS has worked very well the favorable results the tools are totally basic and easy.

The most common problems are that the system does not allow to enter much of its software or systems to be able to test due to the fact that the system has a very weak virtual machine where the service or memory of the machine is less, so it may not work in one Correctly, some of the software with higher consumption is for that reason that the system can be negative in that part.

I like that i'm able to access all the systems I use on a normal workday. For the most part Amazon WorkSpaces is a great alternative when you are unable to connect directly to the company servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that i'm not able to use Zoom or Microsoft Teams through AWS. There are no drivers, like you'd find in your computer so the features don't always work. I was able to open both within AWS but it was unable to find my camera and the audio was so garbled, nobody could understand anything I was saying.

I"m also annoyed that my outlook keeps freezing up on me throughout the day. Sometimes I have to re-start everything, other times it's just outlook. It is not my internet connection because i'm connected directly to the router in my home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
