Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • It can be used as a virtual lab where you can experiment a lot of things without worrying for the security or integrity of the system. When working in cybersecurity it's really great thing to have the possibility to launch a new and fresh desktop session of Kali Linux or Parrot OS, you don't need to install it anymore or run virtual machines, and the fact that those sessions are throwable is very useful for pentesting environment. Also, the fact that all of this work in the browser make it very versatile to be able to work anywhere even if you're not on your own computer, you can retrieve your personal desktop session in the cloud, and you can also use it to bypass network firewall at school or work.
  • Setup was very easy. I was looking for a disposable desktop and Kasm was the first I tried. I never explored other options since Kasm was exactly what I was looking for.
  • - Zero Setup, it was instant - The needed Images for all software i need (mainly browsers) - Ease of Use
  • Ease of use: The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, with a clean and modern interface. This makes it simple for team members to access and work on their files and projects from any location.
  • Accessibility: An emulator allows you to access an operating system from any device with a browser, which can be convenient if you need to use specific software or access specific files that are only available on a particular operating system. Allows you to use software or access files that are not compatible with your current operating system. Can be a quick and easy way to access an operating system without having to install it on your device.
  • One of the main benefits of Kasm is improved security. By isolating older, potentially insecure versions of browsers and plugins in virtualized environments, it helps to protect the rest of the system from potential vulnerabilities.
  • Supports multiple browsers, including Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Allows users to run multiple versions of each browser on the same machine. Provides a user-friendly interface for configuring and managing browser settings. Improves security by isolating older, potentially insecure versions of browsers and plugins from the rest of the system.
  • Ease of use, great functionality and straightforward setup. The ui is very easy to use, modules are easy to install and security it well designed.
  • Easy to use and works pretty well has a nice user interface and doesn't require much knowledge to use.
  • it is pretty easy to use. as everything is significantly configurable and that it only takes a few clicks to get the VM ready for you and it brings a free trial so you can experiment with all the options with Kasm.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The design team is outstanding - we continually get compliments on how professional and intuitive our app is - they truly made us look good. The tech dev team is brilliant and solution orientated. All are accessible and willing to help us succeed on their platform. The dev ops platform enabled us to get our start-up off the ground in a scalable way.
  • The power and flexibility of the platform is exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a tech stack that allowed us to achieve whatever project we needed to build for our customers, whilst not handling the devops and raw infrastructure. That is all taken care of for us, including all of the security and reliability that we need.
  • The right balance between having control and not having to control everything. We can build pretty much anything but leave the DevOps to the experts. Finding that balance of performance, security, reliability, scalability and flexibility is extremely hard especially at the right price point.
  • For my application, flexibility and performance are the biggest pros of building on PlatformOS. Not needing to manage the infrastructure is also a huge benefit. The documentation is also very easy to use and understand.

Cons

  • The project took more time than expected and we had to give up on some scoped items in the end.
  • Knowing all the pieces to the puzzle to achieve your solution. The control you get is amazing, however that comes with responsibility. I wouldn't say it is a con as the freedom allows us to create solutions we couldn't do on other platforms, you just need to do your homework and know how the pieces all fit together.
  • There is a learning curve but it's 100% expected if you want this level of control and flexibility. They have worked hard to make the onboarding as easy as possible and have won various awards for how they've gone about this. Pricing is usage based and you have to be clear on your own pricing model, again this is expected from a PaaS platform but something to be aware of.
  • Not necessarily a con, but there is a learning curve.
