About Paperspace

Paperspace is a desktop virtualization solution that lets businesses run virtual machines and desktops on Windows operating systems. Product designers can utilize the platform to handle graphical workloads including rendering, building information modeling (BIM) and simulations on a unified platform.

Features include consolidated billing, activity monitoring, VPN integration, networking, two-factor authentication, 3D modeling, data management and more. The application sends real-time alerts to employees when a machine is accessed from a new location. It can either be deployed on-premise or hosted in the cloud. Additionally, Paperspace enables supervisors to collaborate with remote employees by transferring files through shared drives.

Paperspace comes with an application programming interface (API), which facilitates integration with several third-party platforms, enabling businesses to push and pull data across systems. It is available for free of cost and on monthly subscriptions. Support is extended via phone and email.

Pros:

Low latency, easy to connect with, you have the possibility to auto-shutdown the server when you forgot to turn it off, you have the chance to take snapshots of your server, you can add a public IP address to your server and add virtual networks, if you have a problem they respond fast and clear. You can secure your account with 2fa.

Cons:

The sound is not 100% accurate, you notice latency in the sound, not in the image! If you play FPS games it's not the ideal solution for you.

Paperspace was the missing piece in the ML world.

In general, Paperspace is the perfect platform, both in terms of convenience but also, for their amazing support centre and communication with users. In the last months, each time I had some technical issue or encountered some bugs, I sent them an email via their handy contact form, and every time, I had a response in almost zero-time. For a growing platform like this, support team is of paramount importance and they perfectly know it! Whether you are a student or professional, just give Paperspace a try.

Pros:

As data scientist myself, I need a solid, affordable platform to conduct my experiments, without any worries about uncertain runtime duration or volatile storage. The lineup offered by Paperspace is just a perfect fit, both in terms of prices and compute capabilities. I'm personally subscribed to the Pro $8 plan, which includes a free RTX A4000 GPU, can you believe it? I still can't but yeah, I hope they'll keep going in this direction. More in details, the free runtimes (included in your plan) last 6 hours and the intuitive interface has a dedicated section where you can see, any time, how much time is left. No hidden stuff like somebody else in the same business does! The machines have at most 30GB of RAM, which comes really handy if you load your datasets in-memory to speed up training like I generally do!

Cons:

About the shared storage, no words are needed, but I personally think that every plan deserves +5GB w.r.t. the current specifications. (just an opinion, maybe I am biased because I mostly work in Computer Vision)

Cons:

Support dropped to zero. They fact their support page does not have a phone number is the biggest clue they are not interested in supporting their clients. One of my machines went down, could not get a response to my ticket. Had to move to another service.

Pros:

Keeps all of my work related programs, settings and everything all in one place with backups. I can comfortably travel and access my desktop environment from anywhere in the world. Everything is in place just where I left off so I never have to worry about it. Use different computers anytime, and still have everything ready. It is very affordable, choose hourly rate. Its pretty simple and easy.

Cons:

Where ever you might be traveling, if your internet connection is not great where you are, it can seem a little sluggish using an online virtual environment. But nothing you can't plan ahead for, and its been pretty rare for me.

Paperspace has been a lifesaver

Paperspace has been a lifesaver for my work. I often have to train multiple machine learning algorithms, and if the supercomputer my company uses goes down, I know I can count on Paperspace to provide an easy-to-use and reliable service to keep my work going.

Pros:

Free virtualized machines with GPU access allow both casual users and professionals to quickly and easily perform computationally-heavy tasks without paying premium prices.

Cons:

Improvements are needed to provide a more streamlined process to load and activate Conda environments in JupyterLab.

Functionality

Pros:

I run marketing campaigns for my clients and each client has their own setup that must run 24/7. This software allows me to store and run an infinite number of client accounts without slowing down my actual computer! Even more importantly, it gives me the peace of mind that if something should happen to my laptop, all of my clients accounts will remain safe and keep running. Even if I have to replace my laptop. Furthermore, customer supporr has been great!! They really go above and beyond to ensure you have what you need.

Cons:

It has a little bit of a lag. I've upgraded my account which helped a lot, but it is still there just a tad.

Pros:

I used this for gaming. It's one of the best quality game streaming hosting services, if you know how to use it. All it does it set up a really powerful gaming PC for you on the cloud, plus some additional services installed on it to get started, like Steam. It doesn't magically make things work if you don't know how streaming works, so you still need to understand the basics of streaming games (E.g. using Steam stream). However, if you have a basic understanding of streaming, this is the best service I've used. It's much more consistent than streaming from my PC across the country. It still occasionally disconnects, but it seems to happen much less often than from my PC. The graphics are solid, even with the cheapest option(P4000). It was really easy to set up, compared to the other options (AWS, Google Cloud). The latency is great, compared to my PC.

Cons:

* The machine itself works great, but the the website for setting up the machine has a few bugs. * The latency is the best out of any streaming service I used, but it's still not good enough for FPS games. Games like Minecraft and Astroneer worked fine.

Reasons for switching to Paperspace

EC2 was pain to set up for this, and had random, large spikes of lag after setup. All told, it ended up costing me more on AWS, because I had to spend so much time configuring and debugging it.

[SCAM] Charges your debit card even after virtual machine deactivation.

Pros:

Pros are definitely not worth the shady charges done onto your debit card. Total scam.

Cons:

Charges your debit card even after virtual machine deactivation. PLUS, to add salt to the wound, they REACTIVATE your DEACTIVATED account to CHARGE YOU AGAIN. Recently one of my accounts got reactivated in January and a January charge was found. (???!!!) Even though this account was deactivated back in December 2018. Activated a support ticket in December after I found out that they have been charging me monthly for ONE YEAR. (2017 - 2018), plus they only refunded half of what they charged me for. Also, even after I suggested them to at least provide a notification that your account has some service you're using that's charging you money, no change has been done onto the website. It's designed to not let you know that they're going to siphon money out of your bank account. Stay away from this service at all costs.

Take money for nothing. No refund.

I choose auto-shutdown option for my machine. It was not shutdown because of some internal error. I did error report to support. Then I saw the bill for 20 days of machine time. They just get money for nothing and say there is no any issue of their side (its lie). I hope they earn enough money from me. I delete my account and do not recommend to use it.
