Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • It has clean and simple user interface. It works on almost every desktop operating system.
  • Amazon Workspaces allows me to login on any machine, safely and securely, and have access to my work quickly from any location.
  • Cons

  • Limited Storage Capacity: Amazon only provides a limited amount of storage space for each user, which may not be enough for some businesses. This can lead to problems storing files and data.
  • Restricted Viewing Options: Amazon limits how many people can view a workspace at the same time, which can make it difficult to collaborate with other team members.

  • Pros

  • VirtualBox is easily the best virtualization system for desktop usage. Performance and reliability are at very good level and there are a lot of features to make the everyday work very easy.
  • You really can't beat the cost. It's easy to use and offers a lot of functionality such as seamless integration with the host OS.
  • Cons

  • My biggest problem was my Windows VM stopping periodically for no particular reason. This was highly frustrating since I'd be doing some high leverage task and was unable to save my work.
  • Sometimes, when you have an error, Virtualbox is not so specific about the error so it's so hard to find the solution.
