    Limitations are only the effort you want to have to configure it (correctly).

    Kasm Workspaces is a good fit for when you need to provide home-based workers access to corporate information or application, but you don't want to provide full network access through a VPN connection. It works well for when you want to ensure that data cannot be taken out of the network or you want to allow non-company devices to be used to access internal resources.

    • Access from the web browser without having to install an agent or a VPN.
    • Can be used on personal devices since the data is not stored on the device.
    • No risk of data loss since the information never leaves the company network.

    Cons
    Apache
    • We have experienced some stability problems (mostly Tomcat related).
    • The interface could be a little more user-friendly.
    • Certain keyboard shortcuts used by Guacamole GUI are impossible to use in the Firefox browser in out-of-the-box configuration.

    Kasm is alot more cost effective than Citrix or VMWare. We wanted an on-premise solution to provide remote access to our internal network resources. The Citrix and VMware solutions require significantly more hardware to run, since Kasm runs on a Linux server as containers and each of the images run as a small container. The licenses were significantly less expensive for Kasm too.
