Pros/Cons
Pros
- The features to display and virtualize a desktop enviironment is very important, the control features with management is very good and intitutive.
- For working from remote it is a great tool for any network engineer. Displaying a virtual desktop in from of you and operating it at ease is its biggest feature.
- VSphere management tools are the best in the business. Support is responsive and extremely knowledgeable, and it just works.
Cons
- The negative point is that the VDI connection can easily drop if you have internet connection problems.
- Any hiccup in connection and there's no "trying to reconnect" you drop the whole session and have to do a sign in process again.
- Its just sometime, it fail to load apps and require a restart. Switching between apps can be slow.
Pros
- Overall, this software is one of the best I have used so far and I encourage and recommend users to try it out.
- Quick, Secure, Reliable, Use Friendly, Quick Installation makes it the most loved remote desktop tool.
- I've been using workspaces for about 2 months now and not for a moment I felt like it was a machine in the cloud, I loved it.
Cons
- Sometimes, it disconnects randomly or gets slow in the prime time, makes us to loose our productive hours. The lag time in access sometime annoying.
- The client who wanted me to use Amazon Workspaces could never get it to work on my system, so I could not do work for that client. Very disappointing and frustrating.
- Some brands tend to be fake or be over priced.
