Amazon AppStream Reviews
"Amazon AppStream is a great virtual machine service! "
Overall: It has been a great overall experience so far.
Pros: It was easy to use out of the box and helped us visualize data to further improve our performance!
Cons: So far we have not had any issues and will continue to use the product.
"AWS AppStream"
Overall: Overall, I would recommend AWS AppStream to any company looking to cut costs in regards to hardware. I would say AppStream offers a supplemental way to access applications.
Pros: The hardware is managed by Amazon. I also enjoy how we can offer applications in the cloud that can be accessed by students from any device
Cons: I would say the biggest barriers to entry are the user interface can be a bit convoluted and it takes a little while to become acquainted with how to setup the fleets. Also, AppStream can be a bit costly depending on the model you choose.
