    A must have when working in cybersecurity!

    Date: Mar 07 2024
    Summary

    Kasm Workspace is a really good product that integrate and optimize the workflow by bringing your own personal desktop in the browser on the cloud or to run throwable sessions that are particularly useful when working in cybersecurity or for pentesting environment.

    Positive

    It can be used as a virtual lab where you can experiment a lot of things without worrying for the security or integrity of the system. When working in cybersecurity it's really great thing to have the possibility to launch a new and fresh desktop session of Kali Linux or Parrot OS, you don't need to install it anymore or run virtual machines, and the fact that those sessions are throwable is very useful for pentesting environment. Also, the fact that all of this work in the browser make it very versatile to be able to work anywhere even if you're not on your own computer, you can retrieve your personal desktop session in the cloud, and you can also use it to bypass network firewall at school or work.

    Negative

    The lack of customization in the Community server edition and the ability to run a Windows container, even if not easy I think that if they managed to add a Windows 10 container desktop, it will bring Kasm Workspace to a next level with the ability to run Windows app in the cloud on the browser will be very useful for enterprise for home-working and teleworking and even for user that need to work on Windows app but that have macOS or Linux systems.

    Pretty decent for emulating Windows on your browser

    Date: Jan 10 2023
    Summary

    It's convenient to be able to access an operating system from any device with a browser. This can be especially useful for individuals who need to use specific software or access specific files that are only available on a particular operating system, but do not have that operating system installed on their current device.

    Positive

    Accessibility: An emulator allows you to access an operating system from any device with a browser, which can be convenient if you need to use specific software or access specific files that are only available on a particular operating system.

    Allows you to use software or access files that are not compatible with your current operating system.

    Can be a quick and easy way to access an operating system without having to install it on your device.

    Negative

    Tends to be slower and more resource-intensive than natively running an operating system. This can make it difficult to use resource-intensive software or perform tasks that require a lot of processing power.

    Security: an operating system in a browser could potentially introduce security vulnerabilities.

    Limited functionality: may not be able to fully replicate the functionality of an operating system, and may not support certain hardware or software.

    Exactly what I was looking for.

    Date: Jun 29 2023
    Summary

    It is a simple solution in terms of features but it has everything I was looking for. Within a few seconds I can have a disposable desktop, test a file and then destroy the session again.

    Positive

    Setup was very easy. I was looking for a disposable desktop and Kasm was the first I tried. I never explored other options since Kasm was exactly what I was looking for.

    Negative

    The clipboard can be a bit difficult to work with sometimes. Direct copy-paste would be more convenient. The price increased recently.

    Kasm

    Date: Jan 06 2023

    Positive

    Negative

    Great for my business

    Date: Jan 10 2023
    Summary

    Overall, Kasm can be a valuable tool for businesses and organizations looking to increase flexibility, improve productivity, and facilitate collaboration among their employees.

    Positive

    Ease of use: The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, with a clean and modern interface. This makes it simple for team members to access and work on their files and projects from any location.

    Negative

    Limited storage: Depending on the specific plan chosen, Kasm may have a lower storage limit than some other remote workspace platforms. This could be a problem for teams with large files or a large volume of projects.

    Good product for beginners

    Date: Jan 03 2023
    Summary

    I would say it overall a good option for beginners and for people who don't have much experience with this kind of thing.

    Positive

    Easy to use and works pretty well has a nice user interface and doesn't require much knowledge to use.

    Negative

    Can be laggy at times and unresponsive not the best if you don't have a good internet connection.

    A pretty good Browser Virtualization Solution

    Date: Jan 10 2023
    Summary

    Overall, Kasm is a useful tool for organizations that need to run multiple versions of multiple browsers and manage multiple versions of plugins. It offers improved security and a user-friendly interface, but it may require additional resources and effort to set up and configure.

    Positive

    Supports multiple browsers, including Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
    Allows users to run multiple versions of each browser on the same machine.
    Provides a user-friendly interface for configuring and managing browser settings.
    Improves security by isolating older, potentially insecure versions of browsers and plugins from the rest of the system.

    Negative

    May require additional hardware resources to run multiple virtualized environments.
    May require additional time and effort to set up and configure the virtualized environments.
    Some features, such as plugin management, may not be available for all browsers.

    Good for testing your websites and more

    Date: Jan 10 2023
    Summary

    Kasm is a comprehensive browser virtualization solution that offers improved security and a user-friendly interface. It is a good choice for organizations that need to run multiple versions of multiple browsers and manage multiple versions of plugins, but it may require additional resources and effort to set up and configure.

    Positive

    One of the main benefits of Kasm is improved security. By isolating older, potentially insecure versions of browsers and plugins in virtualized environments, it helps to protect the rest of the system from potential vulnerabilities.

    Negative

    A few potential drawbacks to consider. Using Kasm may require additional hardware resources and effort to set up and configure the virtualized environments. Additionally, not all features may be available for all browsers, and it may not be suitable for organizations that only use a single browser.

    Love the product and ease of browser isolation

    Date: Jan 23 2022
    Summary

    Overall love the product & customer support so far. The product core strength is its simplicity at the core.

    Positive

    Kasm is a streaming containerized browsers, apps, desktops, etc.
    What I love about is their feature of Browser Isolation. Ever encounter a link that sounds a bit shady to access. With Kasm, you can open it within the container so you don't have to work about it. The experience will seamless.

    Also, their customer care is top notch. I dealt with Kevin and his response was prompt and addressed my queries right away.

    Negative

    Their SaaS solution doesn't have a admin console (except in the case of business with more than 25 users) which is bumper to configure browser extension.

    So self-hosted options is recommended in this case.

    Great tech, responsive developers

    Date: Dec 27 2022
    Summary

    100% recommend for a browser isolation platform. Even for hosting custom applications that need a windowed ui. This also has potential to replace things such as guac or vdi. The great thing is that you can customize to fit your needs.

    Positive

    The technology was polished, well thought out, and it works extremely well. The security baked in by default is better than anything else default out there.

    Negative

    Nothing of substance. The only “con” was how complex it can be but it’s complex for a reason. Plus the devs are extremely responsive and the docs are amazing. So it’s not really a con.

    Date: Jan 01 2022
    Summary

    Overall a great experience to test dodgy links, checking for viruses etc. Used it for a while now and love it.

    Positive

    It is super easy to set up, view workstations that are active. Payment is easy as well. It looks modern and can be set up within seconds.

    Negative

    If you don't pay the 5 dollars a month you are very limited. Maybe they can loosen the limits a bit on that.

    High End and High Quality Security Solution

    Date: Dec 28 2022
    Summary

    Not everyone has a use case for this, but if you do, it is very easy to use and seems to do what is advertised.

    Positive

    Great product - very easy to use and provides high security with very low effort. Developers seem to be very competent with excellent customer service.

    Negative

    Can be a little slow and laggy but I assume if you pay for a higher tier plan with better servers it should be better.

    Better than a VPN at times

    Date: Jun 27 2022
    Summary

    Kasm is a great utility, whether you're trying to bypass your local firewall or browse securely. It runs both lightweight browsers and more demanding applications with the same fluidity provided you have a sound internet connection. Pricing is also attractive and accessible.

    Positive

    Well designed UI, multiple browsers and smooth performance on a low latency connection makes using Kasm a carefree, near-native experience. The fact that there is a free plan is also great for people looking to try it out.

    Negative

    I would love to see more demanding applications available for use, because those are what people most often look for due to unavailability of expensive hardware. Better performance on slower networks would also be a big plus.

    Date: Jun 21 2022
    Summary

    Would recommend to test Remote Desktop to anyone interested. If you require something more specific, maybe App Streaming could be a go to.

    Easy to use. Batteries included in the browser, no extra client needed, creating a simple interface for personal day-to-day usage.
    The prices are very affordable.

    Negative

    As any desktop streaming service, it is a little laggy.
