What is Amazon WorkSpaces?

Amazon WorkSpaces is a Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) software that helps businesses facilitate remote working through cloud-hosted desktop virtualization. It enables administrators to maintain a secure user platform through multi-factor authentication, single sign-on (SSO), custom permission levels, and IP address-based access control features.

Amazon WorkSpaces allows businesses to categorize resources by adding tags across work spaces, imported images, IP access control groups, bundles, and directories. The WorkSpace Application Manager (WAM) lets users add and track usage of external applications on virtual desktops. Supervisors can also utilize the CloudWatch module to set up threshold-specific alarms and analyze performance across several work spaces.

Amazon WorkSpaces comes with an API, which allows businesses to integrate the solution with multiple third-party systems. It alsoenables users to maintain virtual desktop infrastructure in compliance with HIPAA data protection and PCI DSS payment processing regulations.

Pros
Overall, this software is one of the best I have used so far and I encourage and recommend users to try it out.
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.
The software is very secure for the company to use and has easy to understand functionality, is better option than many competitors in market and is total value for money.
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.
