Kasm Workspaces

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.

Cons: The lack of customization in the Community server edition and the ability to run a Windows container, even if not easy I think that if they managed to add a Windows 10 container desktop, it will bring Kasm Workspace to a next level with the ability to run Windows app in the cloud on the browser will be very useful for enterprise for home-working and teleworking and even for user that need to work on Windows app but that have macOS or Linux systems.

Overall: Kasm Workspace is a really good product that integrate and optimize the workflow by bringing your own personal desktop in the browser on the cloud or to run throwable sessions that are particularly useful when working in cybersecurity or for pentesting environment.

Pros: 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.

Cons: The clipboard can be a bit difficult to work with sometimes. Direct copy-paste would be more convenient. The price increased recently.

Overall: It is a simple solution in terms of features but it has everything I was looking for. Within a few seconds I can have a disposable desktop, test a file and then destroy the session again.

Pros: - Zero Setup, it was instant
- The needed Images for all software i need (mainly browsers)
- Ease of Use

Cons: - Can't Install Plugins in browsers
- Sometimes i want my data saved
- Can't Choose default server

Overall: Great Alternative for VPN, and much lighter on the system, i love how within seconds i'm in doing what i need to do.

Pros: 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.

Cons: Limited storage: Depending on the specific plan chosen, Kasm may have a lower storage limit than some other remote workspace platforms. This could be a problem for teams with large files or a large volume of projects.

Overall: Overall, Kasm can be a valuable tool for businesses and organizations looking to increase flexibility, improve productivity, and facilitate collaboration among their employees.

Cons: Although i have there are not many cons only one i found is that they should give more hours.

Overall: I think this program is amazing overall for all your team and personal uses it brings Ubuntu, Windows.

Pros: (1) A good way to get a clean browser every time consistently from a fixed environment without the hassle of maintaining any infrastructure
(2) Two US locations, one EU location, and one AP location makes it practical if needing measurement from different region

Cons: (1) I wish there is a way to load specific extensions to the browser image every time.

Overall: Positive experience with a clear unique selling proposition (USP). Definitely a clear winner for Cloud Browser.

I am also testing the use case of a Virtual Workstation (self-hosted) using the community edition. So far it's been a positive experience and I am considering to move from a Cloud Browser customer to a Virtual Workstation customer.

Pros: Great product - very easy to use and provides high security with very low effort. Developers seem to be very competent with excellent customer service.

Cons: Can be a little slow and laggy but I assume if you pay for a higher tier plan with better servers it should be better.

The interface is straightforward and easy to use, and the integration with other tools like GitHub and JIRA has been seamless. The collaborative workspaces have been especially useful for managing tasks and code reviews. The only downside is that the documentation could be a bit more comprehensive, but overall I've had a great experience with Kasm Workspaces.

Pros: The technology was polished, well thought out, and it works extremely well. The security baked in by default is better than anything else default out there.

Cons: Nothing of substance. The only “con” was how complex it can be but it’s complex for a reason. Plus the devs are extremely responsive and the docs are amazing. So it’s not really a con.

Overall: 100% recommend for a browser isolation platform. Even for hosting custom applications that need a windowed ui. This also has potential to replace things such as guac or vdi. The great thing is that you can customize to fit your needs.

Pros: - Create cloud development enviroment based on developer specification.
- Linux desktop on cloud.
- Web browsers on cloud.
- Build custom image based on development requirements.

Cons: - By default we cant install custom libraries on desktop workspace.
- For every application/cli upgrade, we have to build and update the core-images. ( eg. If we want to upgrade AWS CLI, GCP CLI, Java, Python etc...)
- Performance issue. Sometime its lagging. Still its manageable.
- Less logs to debug the issues.

Overall: Overall it is the best cloud based workspace environment for Personal use, small and medium size companies.

Pros: Well designed UI, multiple browsers and smooth performance on a low latency connection makes using Kasm a carefree, near-native experience. The fact that there is a free plan is also great for people looking to try it out.

Cons: I would love to see more demanding applications available for use, because those are what people most often look for due to unavailability of expensive hardware. Better performance on slower networks would also be a big plus.

Overall: Kasm is a great utility, whether you're trying to bypass your local firewall or browse securely. It runs both lightweight browsers and more demanding applications with the same fluidity provided you have a sound internet connection. Pricing is also attractive and accessible.

Pros: One of the best affordable container streaming platforms out there. A simple user interface and reliable connections make using the platform very convenient.

Cons: Would be great to see more desktop and application workloads available.

Overall: It is a simple and reliable container streaming platform. You can totally rely on KASM for all your needs.

Pros: Easy to use. Batteries included in the browser, no extra client needed, creating a simple interface for personal day-to-day usage.
The prices are very affordable.

Cons: As any desktop streaming service, it is a little laggy.

Overall: Would recommend to test Remote Desktop to anyone interested. If you require something more specific, maybe App Streaming could be a go to.
