Migration to cloud for secure and shared workspaces enhances productivity
There could be an end-to-end tool similar to AWS Transform that helps from assessment to migration. A single orchestrator tool could assist with discovery, implementation, and image building for Amazon WorkSpaces. O365 and other Microsoft products can become problematic at times, and there are some network health-related issues that appear occasionally regarding functionality inside Amazon WorkSpaces.

A stable solution that is easy to install, manage, and upgrade
Nutanix Frame has significantly improved our desktop deployment cycles. There is a box specifically for desktop and VDI purposes, and its performance is really amazing. The most important thing is that the solution's implementation is very easy. Nutanix Frame is amazing for IOPS, and you cannot compare it with traditional architecture. Initially, we found some compatibility issues because Nutanix has its own hypervisor, which was incompatible with many backup software. Now, all the software and backup software support Nutanix, and there's no issue in the market. Nutanix Frame is a highly secured solution because, by default, the box comes with encryption. Whatever hard drives you have is already encrypted. I had cases with some customers where the environment was compromised, but nothing happened to the solution. The solution's deployment model is based on the requirement and compliance issues. Nutanix Frame can be deployed on-premises or on the cloud based on the customer's requirement. You can also have the solution in the cloud with a single license. You don't need a separate license to deploy it on the cloud. We have implemented the solution in the government, private, and banking sectors. Choosing Nutanix Frame depends on your business priority, customer requirement, size of the environment, and current investment. They can go with additional architecture if they have invested enough with the current storage. If they plan to do the tech refresh for the storage in the future, I suggest going with Nutanix Frame. It will make their life easy in terms of management and compliance. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Performance and scalability are valuable features."
"The most valuable features are easy provisioning, an active directory, and mobile access."
"Security, streaming, faster performance, scalability, and the fact that it is very much cost-effective, are some of the solution's valuable features."
"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 best thing about Amazon WorkSpaces is the security it provides."
"Persistent storage helps to maintain consistency and data availability across sessions."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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 scalability of the solution is quite good."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
 

Cons

"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."
"The agent sometimes has connectivity issues, but otherwise, it's good."
"Making it more self-service friendly would be the implement I'd be looking for. When we have to add new applications, we have to go through the IT to do that, and they need to do some configuration changes. I believe they have to reevaluate the computation and storage and the memory. So this is this is something that as an unrequired and should be changed. Also, the initial start time takes couple of minutes and it is easy for get distracted during the time. So if it can reduce the start time to a reasonable start of time to a reasonable time of five to ten seconds. That will be great."
"There is always scope of improvement in the stability."
"Amazon WorkSpaces needs to improve its pricing."
"The initial setup was somewhat difficult."
"The solution can be made faster and it should improve performance wise."
"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’s pricing could be improved."
"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have hourly and monthly pricing, and because our use case is, more of a sporadic use, so I go for hourly pricing. Again, the details of the pricing is handled by the procurement. From an end user perspective, pay as you use hourly is suitable"
"The solution is expensive."
"The bundle works out to be approximately $20.00 per month."
"There are several different options available, but it can range anywhere from $85 to $150 a month per machine."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing is based on the number of users of the solution."
"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
"The pricing of the solution is very good."
"It is a cost-effective option with comparable functionality to competitors."
