"Great workspace to access anywhere"
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

The flexibility to work anywhere is fantastic and the possibility to work in various systems. You can have the application in Mac and windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

The application is simple and works great, but we can't transfer files easily to the workspace.

A functionality that can transfer files from our machine to the workspace via the application will make this fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Recommended for All Who Travel Frequently "
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

In my opinion, WorkSpaces is a quite impressive and unique take of Amazon on cloud computing. Amazon has attempted to give users with true personal cloud experience. It is beyond simple cloud storage. I have prepared a Windows 7 PC with freedom of whatever kind of hardware I required. The best is it as true desktop experience and is just like using physical laptop or PCs I use. I have connected remotely from different ISP networks and it worked most of the times. I am thinking of leaving my personal laptop at home and use any low spec windows tab for accessing my WorkSpace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

Amazon can totally count me in on WorkSpaces if they can address the lag / latency issues which start randomly during sessions. Second thing to be addressed is the time Amazon App takes to connect to my WorkSpace. I understand that technically it can relate to my own ISP connection but I have faced the same issue of multiple networks since I travel a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
