"Let KASM Work For You Remotely or Desktop As A Service. Or beyond"
What do you like best about Kasm Workspaces?

The Security of the Virtual Machine was impressive. NO Data Leaks. Logged on remotely. trusted for banking credentials and online shopping. Email , messaging Privately

Browser Isolation impeccable, fast and intuitive

DAAS using desktop right where you stand

Virtual Desktop remarkable, undeniable fast connection Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kasm Workspaces?

The only downside was that the Trail was very limited. only-begotten 1 hour to use the Virtual Machine. I would like to see a longer trail period for interested users. Provide a better user interface for the not so technically inclined. The log on screen was out dated as well. But all in all it's hard to find anything wrong with such a genius and ready to go solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent solution for Browser Isolation and controllable Linux Desktops"
What do you like best about Kasm Workspaces?

1. The ability to provide on-demand Linux Desktop environments from any browser.

In troubleshooting Web Development issues, I'm normally on a Windows 10 PC, so being able to start up an on-demand Linux Desktop allows me to handle things in a Linux environment without having to use a VPS or dedicated Linux install. And thanks to the optional persistence, when I start up the Desktop, I can choose if I want it to be a clean install or pick up where I left off.

2. Configurability

Out-of-the-box, it's completely functional and requires no configuration. But there's so much that you CAN tweak and configure to your needs.

3. Responsiveness of Support

I've contacted Kasm Support for a couple install and management issues, and they are extremely responsive and helpful. In fact, I had a feature suggestion, and it was included in the succeeding release! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kasm Workspaces?

1. Scope of available applications.

I'd love to see them increase their library of available "Kasms" to include additional applications. They have done a nice job in expanding the available applications within the Deluxe Desktop Kasm, but I'd love to see additional "isolated" applications, if feasible. I can understand that this takes time.

2. Custom Kasm development

I haven't dug into this yet, but it appears that you need extensive knowledge of Docker to be able to create custom Kasms. Their documentation on this seems sparse, but it may be my inexperience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Virtual Desktops and Apps with DevOps best practices."
What do you like best about Kasm Workspaces?

One of the most challenging task me as a VDI engineer is to build images. There are technologies like Citrix App Layering that help but the process requires manual configuration which is often not documented or forgotten and adds administrative overhead.

The image build process with Kasm is done as code, I build mine in VSCode just as I would build a dockerfile. Using devops practices to build base/gold images reduces the administrative overhead since future upgrades won't require for me to re-install apps or reconfigure settings in the OS. Having the base image in code also allows for team collaboration since everyone in my team can see line by line what is done on the gold image instead of relying on SMEs or App owners to share information on how specific apps are installed.

I also like that I can apply different settings based on groups, OOB integration with LDAP/SAML for authentication and OOB web filtering for users.

I have implemented different VDI solutions over 15 years of experience in the field and Kasm is the most innovative solution since they are leveraging containers for VDI with DevOps and security practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kasm Workspaces?

Not being able to run some windows apps since the technology is Linux based but hope this will change in the near future as most applications are web based and now developing for different OSs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An easy to use quick environment for testing sketchy links"
What do you like best about Kasm Workspaces?

Super easy to use, quick to set up and copy&paste information (which you often use when visiting URLs, etc), and very intuitive, responsive UI.

But hands down the best feature of Kasm is that: It can run Doom.

- the Kasm Chrome option is the favourite of the colleagues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kasm Workspaces?

Sometimes a bit slow in latency even if the server is close to your location. Since we often employ company VPNs or alternative private networks, this can reduce the responsiveness of the software, but overall still usable.

- sometimes the Kasm website login page bugged out for us redirecting to a different home page which has been strange

- we have been slightly less sure about the usefullness of the Firefox environment due to the following: We prefer to use Firefox for any general browsing where security or privacy is a concern - hence almost always. Only when it comes to testing how a user would react to a strange email do we turn to Chrome. Since most people use the latter without extensions, etc, on discard-able machines we always run a Chrome env to best simulate average user's use-case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure Desktop for Email/Files/Websites"
What do you like best about Kasm Workspaces?

Kasm provides a safe way to visit websites, check webmail and open files without putting my computer at risk. As a realtor, I have to open files from clients and colleagues who may not have the latest security protections. By using a desktop in the cloud, I can ensure that my computer is not compromised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kasm Workspaces?

Additional browser login when opening the desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
