JM John M. Manager End User Support Education Management ### "AWS AppStream" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 March 22, 2022 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.
