Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • High availability. Seamless integration with other AWS services. GPU instances available for graphically-intensive tasks. Lots of customizable options. Included in the free tier of AWS. Pay as you use pricing model. Better pricing than competitors (like Azure).
  • Easy to setup & use. Various categories of hardware with multiple pricing options. Highly scalable with Auto Scaling Groups. Large number of pre-built machine images (AMIs). Ability to create custom images. Secure & high availability.

Cons

  • It may take time for new users to set it up as there are lot of options and no 'wizard' setup guide.
  • Although there has been a recent overhaul of the interface, there could be more improvements to make various options and features easier to understand and use.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The Workspace has never gone down or dropped a connection. The client to connect is more secure than most remote desktop services. Solid performance - no lag or performance spikes.

Cons

  • The initial configuration of a Workspace must be done by an administrator. Limited expansion from one Workspace to a small network.
