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. ### 2. Complication solution delivered simply **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian W. | IT Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2021 **What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** The solution solves a complicated implementation of VDI without a significant upfront investment in an on-premise solution that may or may not work. It allows you to scale infinitely. **What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** There are currently some infrequent graphic errors on the GPU side using the AMD GPU, but like most newer cloud solutions, it will get resolved, and its performance will improve with time and adoption. **Recommendations to others considering Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud:** Start with a trial group and a small subscription base, then grow into the solution once you've validated the platform and have buy-in from the user base. **What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** First had we implemented this solution pre-covid, it would have been a huge time saver for 100+ persons on the design side. Our team can now collaborate and work from anywhere with huge files and zero transfer issues. ### 3. Best VDI Enterprise **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** 1. Able to connect virtual Machine to the cloud-based app 2. Creates a best and secure environment 3. Performance of the VDI applications are good 4. Simple process **What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** No bitter experience or any dislikes. It's safe and secure **What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. Unique instances can be created for many users 2. No need for VPN to access my system, it's a pleasant experience 3. Fast and easy to setup ### 4. Workspot ON! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** Simple, and better cost than any DaaS we have seen. **What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** Transitioning our users to a new client. **What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to keep our desktops up and running all the time without the cost that other DaaS products have to manage. ### 5. VDI Desktops that are easy to deploy and administer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Travis N. | Director of Infrastructure & Security, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2020 **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. **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. **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. ### 6. Fantastic Solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amy N. | Business Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** We have a windows based application that was going to take an arm/leg to redevelop to support apple products. The Workspot application was the answer to this . It's easy for users to install and now I am able to provide my app to these users. Cannot tell you how excited my company is to have this product. **What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** I haven't experienced any dislikes. Getting great feedback from my clients and I am certain it will only be additional improvements. **Recommendations to others considering Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud:** It really solved a very big ask for our company. I am over the moon thrilled with the product. **What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can create unique instances of a virtual desktop for several uses. My team's use was particularly for these Apple/Mac devices, but we see huge benefits in other departments in our organization. ### 7. Smallwood Workspot **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tim J. | P, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** Workspot has streamlined out VDI structure, and taken all the work out of it. We are able to focus on business **What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** Have had very little issues, once setup we can move on to next project **What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were struggling with Citrix, mainly internal skill set, we were looking at adding staff. We found Workspot and were able to off load the effort to them. We avoided adding staff, repurposed equipment and moved on. Having Workspot allowed us to transition easily to WFH during pandemic ### 8. Fast setup, easy management at a fixed cost **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian F. | Chief Information Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2020 **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. **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"). **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. ### 9. Workspot has a premier DaaS service with great support throughout the process. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2020 **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. **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. **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. **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. ### 10. Systems operations manager for mid size law firm **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2020 **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. **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. **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. **What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** A simple VDI solution that is flexible period!!! ### 11. GPU accelerated cloud VDI, with a simple pricing model and solid support. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Derek G. | IT Operations Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2020 **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. **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 **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. **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. ### 12. Great Solution for Remote Workers Using Cloud Computing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ken S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2020 **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. **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. **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. ### 13. Supported VDI Rollout (Daas) at lower cost than your cloud provider **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric Q. | Chief Information Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** Workspot is extremely simple to administer and the the performance for the end user is consistently good, even rivaling a local LAN experience. **What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** There is a cost to standing up cloud services to help bring network file storage and Active Directory services to your Workspot instances **Recommendations to others considering Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud:** Having a solid distributed file-storage solution is a big help in making Workspot successful. **What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** Workspot allows you to have a VDI without having needing all of the administrative knowledge that VMware or Cirix require ### 14. Perfect for our small remote offices. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** Consolidating my smaller offices into one. **What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** The cost of the GPU Workstation. Hope the fractional GPU become available soon. **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. **What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** No need to have server onsite and can consolidate many small offices into a larger "Workspot Office in the Cloud" ### 15. Customer service is excellent! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** Every time I've had an issue the Workspot team always was there to help. **What do you dislike about Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud?** I wish I could generate user usage reports. **What problems is Workspot - Enterprise Desktop Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?** A few of our software programs call for a lot of resources and the Workspots have seem to remedy that issue for us. ### 16.
