Featured Reviews

Bhaskar Rao - PeerSpot reviewer
Management console is very easy to use, readily available infrastructure and easy to scale
It's very stable. There is a big difference between traditional physical servers and cloud servers. With physical servers, we need to plan for purchasing, procurement, capacity, storage, get quotations, and then procure them. That took some time. Maybe it would take more than one month or maybe two months to procure and then install. With AWS, it is readily available. Just pay and immediately create the VPC, network, and everything. It is very easy. Within two or three hours, we can implement any server or launch any application. Within five minutes, we can just spin up and publish our servers on the Internet.
Hamada Farag - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective and streamlined virtual desktop infrastructure solution with a user-friendly interface and simplified management
The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency. The simplicity of the management tools is a key highlight, especially when compared to other solutions like Citrix, where there is often complexity due to various components such as controllers, storefronts, and different servers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is easy to access. You can access the solution from anywhere at any time."
"The experience is seamless and there is no delay. The performance is very good. Initial startup times is a little bit of wait time, but it is bearable."
"The most valuable feature is the mobility. I can use it anywhere."
"We can work remotely using the solution."
"The best thing about Amazon WorkSpaces is the security it provides."
"Security, streaming, faster performance, scalability, and the fact that it is very much cost-effective, are some of the solution's valuable features."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The tool has low latency and multimedia support. For instance, running Zoom calls on Amazon WorkSpaces seamlessly supports local microphones, speakers, and web cameras. This feature is transparent for applications, allowing me to use the Zoom application without requiring exceptional support for remote web cameras or microphones. Amazon WorkSpaces provides this functionality at the operating system level, enabling effortless video conferencing. To my knowledge, Microsoft Remote Desktop does not offer the same support."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
 

Cons

"An area that could be improved is it could work better on VPN."
"I would say that it is a little complex to configure."
"The speed and performance are not always the greatest. It can be improved."
"The solution lacks a shadow mode option, and it needs to have it."
"One area that can be improved is the ability to install third-party apps."
"Amazon WorkSpaces needs to improve on releasing the most number of patches immediately as quickly as possible. And they need to enable more USB options to connect a mobile phone to that particular workspace."
"Amazon WorkSpaces needs to improve its pricing."
"If they had a cheaper option for graphics pro, I think that it would be beneficial and I would use it."
"It would be highly beneficial if they could offer a version that is entirely on-premises, eliminating the need for cloud connection except for data access."
"The solution can be made faster and it should improve performance wise."
"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need to spend some amount for the support. Without money, they won't respond."
"I think that the price can be lower. We have cases where the customer needs to have lower costs. So since we don't have options, like, shadow mode, they need to decrease pricing or have other models for reduced pricing."
"The pricing is based on consumption. You pay for each process based on the transactions you make."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a two."
"The solution is not very cheap and it is not too pricey."
"There are several different options available, but it can range anywhere from $85 to $150 a month per machine."
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool's pricing depends on company turnover and the organization's relationship with Amazon. I rate it a six out of ten."
"It is a cost-effective option with comparable functionality to competitors."
"The licensing is based on the number of users of the solution."
"The pricing of the solution is very good."
"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
