This is the best WAH virtual application I have ever used I dont dislike anything about it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to install and use the AWS even with medium speed internet. Also its ability to install software as equal to physical machine by matching with its performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frequent network issue which results in disconnections. For restarting AWS once will take around 15 mins every single time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.
