"AWS Powerful Virtual Workspace"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

One of the best features which I like most is I can access my Office Laptop at home without going to the office.

I can access my office desktop remotely from anywhere in the world.

It is beneficial in the current situation of the covid pandemic as I am working from home; it is impossible to access an office workstation, so AWS enables me to work at home by creating a virtual desktop of the office.

I can use it anywhere in the world with just a single login process, and I am good to go.

It maintains complete privacy and security to clients' confidential data.

No fear of data security breach.

It is very easy to configure.

It is very easy to use and also does not require any special training before using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

It is a little bit slow

Java applications become slower in it sometimes frustrates more as work takes more time to complete than usual.

It requires a fast internet connection to work efficiently; whenever the internet is slow, it disconnects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS Worspace for remote control"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

I like that it brings the ability to work on a machine remotely in my case. That's the use I have for QA testing a website that requires several QA and Dev environments. That are only accessible via the Remote Control machine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

For me, I find that the remote connection is way to slow. It doesn't matter my ISP internet speed or my local machine specs, RAM, processor. The remote connection is really really slow. To the point that the screen sometimes lag and you can see the mouse going in and out as you move it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Use Shared Option - for small business application."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

AWS is simple: Access ID, User Log-in ID, & Password - It becomes an active space like opening windows in Chrome. We use UJet, J-sync, Outlook, as well as Chrome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

AWS doesn't always work well with transmission connectivity for headphones - there seems to be a lot of feedback on calls with customers. This results in disconnections and callbacks, hence frustrating our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The new standard for EUC and virtual workstations as a service"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon WorkSpaces?

Amazingly easy to bring your own license, manage costs, configure standard packagee and software, as well as implement GPO and corporate standards. AWS workspaces has a few intracacies to deal with but overall, this is the future of computing for EUC and personal workstations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon WorkSpaces?

BYOL is not as straightforward as it should be and as higher than expected costs. However, this will likely go down overtime. For Windows, the setup time for a new machine is drastically higher than it should be. Again, this will hopefully become faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using AWS Workspaces allows me to maintain cost-effective cloud resources to handle these projects as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
