"Recommended for All Who Travel Frequently "
5/5
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.

"I use email only"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

I like that it allows you to have desktop notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

There is no friendly way to check the email over an app on my phone. I have to log in on browser and is annoying. Also, is not mobile friendly. I haven't tried but it looks like there are no integrations to send mass email (like YAMM for gmail). It will not automatically forward emails to my zendesk either.

"Amazon review"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

The application is very easy to navigate. I store all my data files on s3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

I don't like how undeleting files in s3 requires undeleting files one at a time. Multi-undelete functionality would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
