Technical Lead, AWS at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.
Hamada Farag - PeerSpot reviewer
Technology Consultant at Beta Information Technology
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 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."
"Amazon WorkSpaces offers several best features including ease of access, security, scalability, anywhere access, and device flexibility."
"It has good speed and connects well with computers."
"The most valuable feature is the mobility. I can use it anywhere."

"The infrastructure is readily available, with minimal latency, which each user can benefit from."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"The user experience is quite good."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
 

Cons

"Configuration was a bit complicated at first but manageable."
"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."
"Its features for the hardware version could work faster."
"The solution lacks a shadow mode option, and it needs to have it."
"You cannot install external applications without doing some additional configurations inside the solution as opposed to your normal desktop or laptop."
"The agent sometimes has connectivity issues, but otherwise, it's good."
"One area that can be improved is the ability to install third-party apps."
"Amazon WorkSpaces can sometimes function as a black box, making it difficult to diagnose why a workspace is slow on any given day due to limited visibility into network latency from the client, real-time CPU and GPU utilization, and storage bottlenecks."
"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing depends on company turnover and the organization's relationship with Amazon. I rate it a six out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is low and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a two."
"The pricing is based on consumption. You pay for each process based on the transactions you make."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"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 not very cheap and it is not too pricey."
"Price-wise Amazon Workspaces is cheaper than most services available."
"It is a cost-effective option with comparable functionality to competitors."
"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
"The licensing is based on the number of users of the solution."
"The pricing of the solution is very good."
