What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to implementation of workspot we struggled with the skill set needed to maintain a VDI environment consistently having the stretch the IT Dept. By implementing Workspot, we are now able to easily manage the environment, which in turn has improved our response time to other end-user issues.

The current Pandemic has allowed us to realize the actual benefits of Workspot. We transitioned our staff from primarily in office to 100 % at home and didn't skip a beat. I have talked to many firms that took weeks to transition with full functionality, where even a few end-user issues had everyone producing within a couple of days.

What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

Workspot allows our IT department to be as hands-on or hands-off as we need to be when maintaining the VDI environment. The implementation process was well thought out and went smoothly. Performance of the VDI desktops exceeds that of the previous VDI environment we had on premise. Allowing Workspot to take care of the underlying VDI infrastructure has really helped our IT department focus on support end-users as opposed to supporting infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

Hardware specifications of the VDI machines is limited to the pre-built vms offered by Azure. Some more advanced tasks like resizing the OS drive on an already deployed VM cannot be done using the Control Panel and must be done by the support staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were getting results of poor performance for remote workers on our aging, on-premise VDI platform. Moving to Workspot has virtually elimiated all VDI performance troubleshooting requests and has also allowed our team to focus on providing end-user support instead of monitoring and maintaining an on-premise VDI platform.

What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

With all the prerequisites in Azure, we were able to get provisioned very quickly. The management page is very easy to use. They continue to make enhancements to the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

Even though it is a fixed cost, it is not cheap, especially for the fixed GPU models. The recommended Windows 10 build is an older 1809 (this however is due to Windows "issues"). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had been working on setting up servers in Azure right before COVID-19 office closures. When we made Workspot desktops available to some of our users, they were able to work far more efficiently than before. With data and the desktops in Azure, they were able to do CAD designs faster than working from a VPN.

We have our own on-prem VDI solution, however to expand on that system would have high capex cost (especially when using dedicated GPU). With Workspot we can fixed opex costs, and not have to worry about the maintenance and upkeep of additional servers and infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

We utilize Workspot for full Desktop systems on multiple occasions. The build and deployment of a gold image is simple and easy to set up. We've built them within the Workspot environment and uploaded a VHD file on separate occasions and both were easy to do. The console has nearly everything you need right at your fingertips. The computers are fast an powerful, all of our users had no problem transitioning from a performance perspective. The offerings of Nvidia powered graphics capable systems for CAD/Solid Modeling programs makes it a great pick for even the most power hungry programs.

The support by the Workspot technical teams is top notch. Always responsive, with a useful answer. Always ready to jump in and help. Never once did I feel like my questions were beneath them. Always happy to jump in and work together to resolve issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

Though the console has everything you need it could use some improvement in navigation. Occasionally I find myself hunting around for a particular item. The Active Directory connection can be a bit fiddly at first. But once it's syncing nicely there are no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud:

If you're using a full desktop build the computer in the Workspot environment directly it's much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides an always on desktop accessible from anywhere. When Covid hit and everyone had to work from home there was zero disruption to the workflow. With the Workspot systems and an Azure cloud architecture, zero days were lost in the transition for office work to work from home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

End user ease of use, straight forward connection processes. Simplified backend management, there are not a lot of moving pieces to manage from Workspot control and the ones that are there are the ones used everyday. if you want to get into the weeds you can always jump over to your Azure subscription for further analysis and troubleshooting. Engineering support during setup and onboarding was great, didn't have to wait long to get answers to questions and solutions to problems. As a result on going support has been minimal but there when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

When connection issues do arise, which hasn't been often, we have to rely on end user to upload logs and such to support. Would be nice if some of that information was uploaded automatically to control, when possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud:

As with any solution all use case are not covered. We have run across a few instances where Workspot was not the optimal solution from a technical and/or cost basis, but those are the exceptions. With that being said as Workspot continues to improve services/cost, some of those exceptions might go away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

A simple VDI solution that is flexible period!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
