"Review for Amazon WorkSpace"
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

The security level is very high of Amazon Wokspace. You need to register your device such as mobile phone and then use RSA token to login to AWS. Within which you will have to login to your virtual machine. In this you can open more than one virtual machine and data can be easily transferred from one VM to the other. Even copy paste from one machine to other works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

Amazon work space doesn't give access to transfer data from local machine to VM. Handling this becomes more hectic like you will have to always mail to the VM to get the data. Sometimes mailing wont solve as the size of the data is more so you will have to create a cloud memory and then transfer data. Moreover the support team of AWS is really hard to connect to if you face any issues while logging in to AWS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazon Workspaces is easy and super useful!"
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

I like how smoothly it runs on any computer. It's easy to setup and even easier to log into. We use it for a shared computer with license to a software. It's easy for user to log in and do what they need to and log out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

It takes some time to log into. Usually waiting for a couple minutes for the computer to come online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AWS is a platform that gives you the access to use more than one Virtual machines using one user id of AWS. You don't need to switch machines to log into different VMs. Moreover AWS is quite secured which I feel as whenever you need to login to AWS you will have to generate a token using RSA application and then use that token with your secured pin. Also I like one more thing that is it doesn't disconnect the VM opened inside it even if you disconnect the AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

With such security I personally think they could have the support team easily reachable. Its really a pain to connect to the support team. It does not allow you to transfer data by copy pasting from your own local machine to AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If your PC is too Slow. This is the best one"
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

AWS Workspaces was so helpful for me, When I was in the lockdown and I had emergency work. But my Laptop can't cater the requirements. So I bought a AWS Workspace and completed my work. AWS Workspace can launch in multiple monitors as extended. Also, it is working smoothly in the low bandwidth internet connections. Also, I can extend my Memory and Capacity if I needed. Also has great in workspace internet connection, That was really fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

AWS Workspaces are very expensive. Also, Have some problems with the audio interface. Also, it can't access to my webcam. And when in the meetings, it needed to switch my actual workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy way to control code access and standardize computers "
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

We use workspaces as a clean way to make sure our code base is not on anyone's personal computers, and to control access to the test systems in AWS.

All developers get a workspace, and then we have the source control and testing servers all blocked through AWS firewalls to only allow the developer workspaces to access them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

The user access controls and setting things like 'session timeout' can be done, but it's very difficult (have to go through Microsoft Active Directory). Wish that Amazon would make this easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
