"GPU accelerated cloud VDI, with a simple pricing model and solid support."

4.5/5

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

Workspot's team of engineers are very knowledgeable and responsive. The connection broker is slick and provides a nice, simple UX. We already had cloud infrastructure in Azure, so setup was fairly painless and it allowed us to extend our existing Panzura file services out to the users running their VMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

In certain small edge cases, the connection client is not up to par with other offerings. For instance, connecting via a Chromebook. Running it on Windows is highly encouraged. The knowledge base they have could use some more content, both for admins and for end users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud:

Make sure you have your power users thoroughly test production applications to uncover any incompatibilities, especially with drivers. Spend a LOT of resources with end-user education, so that expectations are set that no VDI will ever provide 100% performance compared to an equivalent physical PC, but that the trade off for flexibility is well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

End user training and troubleshooting home connection issues are the hardest part about rolling Workspot, but this would be similar to any other competing vendor. In terms of benefits...quite frankly, we wouldn't be able to run our business without Workspot. Being able to run Autodesk design applications with solid performance almost the same as desktops in a physical office, but from anywhere, is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Solution for Remote Workers Using Cloud Computing"

5/5

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

A couple years ago we researched technology that would make it possible for our remote users/small upstart companies to access our global file share in Azure and work efficiently. We found that Workspot was the perfect solution. We needed two types of Virtual machines based on application use. Workspot provided high end GPU systems for our Cad users and power systems that worked perfectly for everyone else. The quick and attentive support that we received from Workspot from the initial setup through completion was another plus. This product works very well and as promised. We were so fortunate to have had this in place prior to the Pandemic. Workspot quickly reacted to our needs for additional systems during that time. We highly recommend this product!

What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?

There is nothing that we found that we disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud:

This is a great product that simply works for our remote users/small upstart companies, etc. Using Workspot allows us to cut cost by using less of a system on site because the computing power is in the Workspot VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

To minimize costs when spinning up small offices across the county without having to implement a lot of expensive hardware on premise or for remote workers Workspot provided the exact solution we needed. The Workspot client is easy to use for our users allowing them so many options such as working across multiple monitors which is vital when using Cad applications or GIS.

The cost of the GPU Workstation. Hope the fractional GPU become available soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud:

Make sure you don't undersize your machines, because the users will know. Google Earth doesn't work unless you have a GPU. Check your latency to the Microsoft datacenter. Low latency will kill the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was nothing to really dislike except we had to install the app in person on each thin client we have spread around 11 centers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
