Kasm Workspaces
About Kasm Workspaces
Kasm is changing the way that businesses deliver digital workspaces using our open-source web-native container streaming technology to establish a modern devops delivery of Desktop as a Service (DaaS), application streaming, and browser isolation. Kasm is not just a service, it is a highly configurable platform, with a robust developer API that can be customized for your use-case, at any scale. Workspaces is truly wherever the work is. It can be deployed in the cloud (Public or Private), on-premise (Including Air-Gapped Networks), or in a hybrid configuration.
Our modern web-native architecture makes it easy for you to develop and scale your applications. Our library of desktops, browsers, and applications combined with our robust Developer API, provide the customized components and devops pipelines to meet the most unique service delivery requirements. Kasm Workspaces provides a simple, yet comprehensive, enterprise-class orchestration platform to give you full control over your environment.
Kasm Workspaces was developed by a team of cybersecurity experts to meet the most demanding secure collaboration and remote workforce requirements of the US Government. Our solution makes use of the latest technology in container orchestration, browser rendering technology and devops pipelines to establish an architecture that is highly efficient, scalable and customizable. Most importantly, Workspaces provides a platform, rather than a service, so it is infinitely customizable to your unique requirements and includes a developer API so that it can be integrated with, rather than replace, your existing applications and workflows.
Key benefits of Kasm Workspaces
FLEXIBLE & ACCESSIBLE DEPLOYMENT
Workspaces is wherever the work is. Log in from any modern web browser. Host the entire stack on-premise, in your private cloud, or have us host it for you (SaaS).
HIGH PERFORMANCE & EFFICIENCY
Workspaces are delivered through Docker containers, rather than full stack virtual machines, dramatically reducing platform resource requirements and enabling sessions to boot in seconds, rather than minutes.
ROBUST SECURITY
The Workspaces platform handles all aspects of cybersecurity: single sign-on/2-factor authentication, data loss prevention (DLP), security groups, logging, and web filtering.
INFINATELY CUSTOMIZABLE & SCALABLE
Our library of browsers, desktops, and applications combined with our robust Developer API allows administrators ultimate freedom to develop customized images and devops pipelines to meet even the most unique requirements and at massive scale.
OPEN-SOURCE
Kasm Technologies is committed to supporting the open-source community, so we have made all of our Workspaces images and the Workspaces container streaming technology available on Docker Hub and GitHub.

The modern VDI solution
Reviewed on 2022/01/02
Pros
For users I like the ease of use since they only need a browser, no need to install a client. As a devops engineer I really like that the applications are hosted on containers making them easy to shift from on-prem to the cloud and also as a container they are efficient with the compute consumption. In my experience legacy VDI solutions have a lot of overhead which increases cost and it is a major reason why I.T. departments host them on local hypervisors rather than using devops methodologies in the cloud. I stopped working and consulting the legacy VDI solutions due to the lack of devops techniques but Kasm is a game changer since it brings DevOps to VDI and I highly recommend at work and to clients.
Cons
Not a must have but other products that have a web interface for virtual apps and desktops offer integrations with ticketing and HR software so that users login to one portal to check in. In my experience user adoption has been "hit and miss" with these integrations since they are limited and often read only API responses from services like ServiceNow or Workday which are better used while logged in. The Kasm Workspace interface is clean and provides a great user experience already.

Overall, I have been using Kasm for a couple months now, and the software is really nice. I started using it for school, when my district blocked a note taking app that I like. After getting comfortable with Kasm I followed the tutorial in the documentation to make a container for sublime text. After that I made a custom container that auto install ad-block and runs a music streaming service that I like. There is also excellent support.
Pros
Installing Kasm Workspaces is very easy. It only took about 30 minutes for it to work. Upon logging on for the first time they great job in Web portal design. Adding a new image, docker container, is also very easy.
Another very nice feature was the easy ability to add more users. It takes minimal knowledge to set up, and there is excellent documentation to help in the event of problems.
Cons
I did not have problems with Kasm, but the one downside that I don't like is the inability of the admin account to log into all of the sessions. However, I have not looked deeply into this, it may be my mistake.

CameyoReasons for Switching to Kasm Workspaces
I choose this because there is a free community edition, and it uses Linux. While that may scare some off the nice part about using Linux is I don't need to worry about licensing. If I choose something like Cameyo I would.- Industry: Computer & Network Security

A great way to leverage the cloud when interacting with the internet to make sure that your computer and data stays safe.
Pros
Cloud service that provides access to applications, desktops and browsers. This allows me to interact with the web without putting my browser/computer at risk. The Sharing feature is very useful for screen sharing without having to join into a web conference application. The ability to launch a desktop to have access to installed applications or to modify files with a full productivity suite is very useful.
Cons
File upload is through the control panel instead of drag-and-drop.
