AWS can create profiles as per the requirement , can update and delete it by creating, updating and deleting.
Includes all the resources required to run a web application.
If a resource can't be deleted, any other resource can be retained until the stack gets deleted

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 linux machines.

WorkSpaces (VDI) is a much more robust solution that competitor offerings when considering scalability and security. Amazon WorkSpaces has a substantial free tier to explore if this is the right solution for your project without purchasing other solutions. Considering this, AWS is a great solution to explore Virtual Desktop experiences and workstations for any growing remote business.

  • Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (formerly XenDesktop)
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, being the inventor of thin protocols and all, Amazon's offering meets the needs for business consumers quite well.

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.
