There are a lot of differentiators in favour of Amazon Workspaces: 1. It is easy to setup and very convenient to use. 2. It makes it easy to install any OS of choice. 3. Can be easily configured according to the requirements. 4. Amazon IT Service team is very kind and reliable.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It is super easy to configure to the requirements that we have for a particular task.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It lags a lot. Even if we have good internet connectivity bandwidth it lags and sometimes disconnects. It also freeze sometimes to which a solution that we figured out is clicking 'Alt' key.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
You can go ahead by blindly trusting Amazon Workspaces as your virtual machine. As a Sr. Data Scientist, I have to work on different types of data which can be highly sensitive. So, using a Virtual machine is very common. Amazon Workspaces is one of the common options which I have seen my clients use due to the different benefits it provides.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing
