Cisco anyconnect is a VPN client and using a VPN can reduce the internet speed. It is not quite reliable as workspaces. Cisco anyconnect is not at all optimised for linux machines. They suffer a lot from crashing and loss of internet speed. Workspaces works quite well even on …

Chose Amazon WorkSpaces
We haven't finished our selection process yet, but are leaning towards Amazon due to the ability to host in Amazon's datacenter rather than our own (this aligns with our current strategem of pursuing a web/cloud-first philosophy). While Citrix definitely does better with media, …

[Amazon WorkSpaces (VDI)] does not consume too many resources in the local machine as the VM is remote and it has many benefits

Chose Amazon WorkSpaces
Amazon WorkSpaces has been a simpler experience for me. I've used multiple versions of VMware (hosted and installed) and each has their positives and negatives. Amazon WorkSpaces just works. I've never had performance issues, persistence issues, or really any issues with it.

For our use case, we found Amazon WorkSpaces well suited to remote work and other "work from home" and "work on the road" situations where the end user did not need to consume HD media (notably 4K) and did not need to produce any multimedia (audio, video, etc), but rather needed to perform more typical tasks such as web-browsing our corporate intranet and internal online apps, accessing files and using them through office productivity suites (Office - both online and desktop, and LibreOffice are under testing), etc.

Cons
  • Restarting workspaces takes lot of time

Usability
For its Primary purpose in our organization, providing developers and testers a clean, isolated and configurable environments which saves hours. The usability is nearly perfect. Usability is only suffering when user is into more intensive task like any kind of graphic works. At that time user is not experiencing the smoothness like a local machine

AWS support in general is pretty good, and WorkSpaces is no exception. We haven't had too much need for support but on the occasion we have, they've been quick to respond and helpful. Our issues have been resolved rapidly.

Return on Investment
  • Having a linux VM seems positive due to the security of the OS
  • The Linux OS version sometimes is basic and requires extra apps to be installed
