Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 85 other remote desktop apps we grade
Workspot is a desktops-as-a-service platform that hosts Windows virtual desktops and apps on Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, AWS or on-premises data centers. IT teams manage them from one console, and users connect with the Workspot Client. Prices are not published; the pricing link on the site leads to a request form.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Workspot, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No plans are published, the pricing link is a quote request, and the pages don't list which client platforms work.
- 1
Best for cloud desktops on the cloud you already use
Workspot runs cloud-hosted virtual desktops and apps from one console, on Azure, Google Cloud or AWS.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Workspot Control
One console for managing and monitoring virtual desktops and apps across on-premises data centers and several public cloud regions.
- 4
Workspot Client
Connects users to Windows 10 and 11 desktops with device posture checks, TLS encryption, Active Directory sign-in and a PIN.
- 5
Workspot Watch and Trends
Real-time data collection, global tracing and analytics, plus satisfaction trends over time to find causes of user problems.
- 6
A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 85
That is against the other remote desktop apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
Keep it
To replace Workspot you would be making a fast, secure link to another computer through any network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for cloud desktops on the cloud you already use
Workspot runs cloud-hosted virtual desktops and apps from one console, on Azure, Google Cloud or AWS. No plans are published, the pricing link is a quote request, and the pages don't list which client platforms work.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No plans are published and the pricing link is a request form, so cost needs a quote. The 20 cents an hour figure on the home page is the vendor's claim, not a price list. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing free and no trial on record, only a sales conversation. |
| Features | C | A control console, a client, monitoring and trends, global desktops and SIEM and ITSM hooks. It covers the VDI job for IT teams, with no gap named. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and IT has to set up desktops and the cloud behind them first. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only on the listing. The vendor says it works on any device, but names none. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Workspot is for
- Fits if you are an IT team moving on-premises VDI to a cloud you choose
- Works for organizations running desktops in several regions
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want to see a price first, because cost needs a quote
- Skip it if you are a single user, as it is built for IT teams
- Too light for a trial: none is listed
- Watch out: client platforms are not listed on the pages we read
Good to know
Good for
- IT teams moving on-premises VDI to a cloud of their choice
- Organizations running desktops in several regions on Azure, Google Cloud or AWS
Worth knowing
- No plans are published; the pricing link is a request form, so cost needs a quote.
- The homepage says a virtual desktop can cost as little as 20 cents an hour with its optimizations; this is the vendor's claim, not a price list.
- The client platforms are not listed on the pages read; the vendor says it works on any device.

Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
1/85
Other remote desktop apps it is graded above
Workspot's GPA of 1.6 is higher than 1 of the 85 other remote desktop apps we grade, and level with 4.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (C, above 12 of 85) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 86 remote desktop apps we grade, cut by the letter each got. Workspot’s own letter is outlined.

- CPlatforms and integrationsAbove 12 of 85
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Workspot you would be making a fast, secure link to another computer through any network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 80 of the 85 other remote desktop apps grade higher.
What you could not
- A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
What this rests on. Workspot’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
