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.

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.

Independent research methodology

Capterra's researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

How Capterra ensures transparency

Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider's website.
