It's very useful for data base storage and security.
It helps the users to maintain data base at ease.
AWS provides virtually unlimited data storage and offers easy access and faster data retrieval.
It's useful for us to connect with customers and stakeholders through AWS social networking engine.
Users like us can create and customize profiles as per our needs and can stop it whenever not required which saves the cost.

It is best suited for work-from-home situations. It doesn't require any VPN to connect. It runs smoothly and without any lags. But when the internet is slow it gets disconnected instantly without intimating the user. It is well designed and completely optimized to run on any operating system. However, macOS client suffers while closing the application. Updates are regular.

With a substantial free tier, AWS is a solution for fast, reliable and secure access to tools and workflows for any project. AWS is still the most intimidating cloud solution to approach. While there is no shortage to power and solutions, it is not for the faint of heart. It is easy to get lost while using AWS though the solution is there. Amazon WorkSpaces (VDI) requires an IT manager with experience deploying applications and building databases. Comparably, Parallels is a much easier UI to navigate, along with many open source and free options.

For our use case, we found Amazon WorkSpaces well suited to remote work and other "work from home" and "work on the road" situations where the end user did not need to consume HD media (notably 4K) and did not need to produce any multimedia (audio, video, etc), but rather needed to perform more typical tasks such as web-browsing our corporate intranet and internal online apps, accessing files and using them through office productivity suites (Office - both online and desktop, and LibreOffice are under testing), etc.

Amazon WorkSpaces (VDI) is easy to set up from both an IT perspective and a user perspective. Being a cloud-based virtual desktop, you have all your data, programs. and workflows accessible from anywhere with a simple download and sign-in. IT management is just as easy. Security, network, permissions, they're all easy to control from Amazon WorkSpaces.
