Amazon WorkSpaces Reviews & Product Details

Earlier we used to work on Virtual desktop and need to Create infrastructure for every user. Now we dont need to spend the time for that. AWS Removed the various dependencies on other services we need to handle and we dont need to handle the security too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

dislike part is like sometimes it disconnects inbetween might be due to other user accessing with same credentials or other thing. The dependency on network is also contraint but for cloud infra that is needed actually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Instead of using, on-prem Citrix solution, I provided for our APAC region users with a low latency solution for their virtual desktop experience. When using Workspaces, we have freedom to choose the appropriate datacenter to reduce latency for your distant locations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS has their own GPOs for Windows OS. I had some conflict with my GPOs and AWS GPOs. Unfortunately, there is solution to disable the AWS's GPO configured on Virtual desktops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's really quick, responsive and doesn't have any sort of latency. And it's super easy to change workstations in any part of the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Just the fact that sometimes it doesn't keep the session open after more than 24h. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how AWS provides a space to get work done, and then be able to access that space from any other computer or device. It is simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no real downsides of using AWS. The problems encountered have been very minor, such as freezing momentarily upon viewing full screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workspaces allows you to easily have a desktop in the cloud, and do work with a GUI that would otherwise have to be done using the terminal/command line in an EC2 instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Workspaces can sometimes lose connection for no reason even when the network is working fine, and will need to be rebooted which takes time away from development tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to do the deployment and user friendly to access it. Cost savings solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if Aws can provide the real windows10 image for the standard workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing hardware for remote users and or temporary workers and contractors can cause a lot of issues with spin up and compliance in what is on their devices. Workspaces allows us to control what they use and what they can access regardless of what device they bring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Web client is not as performant or good as installed client. Would be cool to have some sort of bootable OS or thumbdrive to ship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup and organizations. The templates are larger as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a little slow when I login to the server I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can access your workspace from anywhere and on different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like that you can't share your workspace with another user and no out of the box RDP Access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of the solution is to have multiple size choices to choose based on what the user will be performing on the machine and now that they support Linux is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We wanted Linux version of VDIs and now we have it. I like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
