    It has been a pleasure using Kasm

    Date: May 03 2022
    Summary

    Overall, Kasm is a very convenient software. I am able to complete all of my work effectively. Also the staff is very nice, they're almost always present and ready to help customers.

    Positive

    I loved the isolation of the browser.
    I didn't have to download the software, which would cause my PC to slow down and maybe result to viruses.
    No more worrying about VPNs!

    Negative

    There are very little things that I do not like. I would just say that the 5 dollar subscription should include about 200 hours.

    Kasm is AMAZING!

    Updated: Feb 14 2022
    Summary

    Kasm is the best docker streaming platform I have ever seen. Especially to your browser! I recommend Kasm to everyone!

    Positive

    Kasm is just quite amazing. I haven't seen any other software stream a docker container to your browser! I am just blown away at how amazing Kasm is. You can create your own images, virtually customize every aspect about Kasm and more. Kasm really helps me malware test, click on suspicious links without putting my PC in jeopardy.

    Negative

    Nothing really. I had some issues at first but Kasm Support helped a ton!

    Docker on steroids

    Date: Jan 11 2022
    Summary

    Very good solution with great support and huge potential.
    I am really eager to see the next features.

    Positive

    It's really easy to setup. I tested it first on a virtual machine which resulted in some strange errors. After contacting the Kasm team (to be honest: without any hopes to get a helpful response) they really dug into my problem and helped me solve my issue (which was related to the time sync (and different timezones) between the host and guest OS).
    It's also very nice to have some pre-built containers but also the option to create your own containers.

    Negative

    It would be perfect if it would support also VMs (with different OS's). This would allow complete independence to do each and every task on the server.

    Best Cloud workspace

    Date: Dec 26 2022
    Summary

    Overall it is the best cloud based workspace environment for Personal use, small and medium size companies.

    Positive

    - Create cloud development enviroment based on developer specification.
    - Linux desktop on cloud.
    - Web browsers on cloud.
    - Build custom image based on development requirements.

    Negative

    - By default we cant install custom libraries on desktop workspace.
    - For every application/cli upgrade, we have to build and update the core-images. ( eg. If we want to upgrade AWS CLI, GCP CLI, Java, Python etc...)
    - Performance issue. Sometime its lagging. Still its manageable.
    - Less logs to debug the issues.

    Kasm Workspaces - A Great Collaborative Development Tool

    Date: Dec 27 2022
    Summary

    I've been using Kasm Workspaces for a few months now and it has really improved my team's workflow. The interface is straightforward and easy to use, and the integration with other tools like GitHub and JIRA has been seamless. The collaborative workspaces have been especially useful for managing tasks and code reviews. The only downside is that the documentation could be a bit more comprehensive, but overall I've had a great experience with Kasm Workspaces.

    Positive

    - Easy to use interface
    - Excellent integration with other tools and services
    - Great for managing tasks and code reviews
    - Collaborative workspaces are a game changer

    Negative

    - Limited documentation, could use more tutorials and examples

    KASM Cloud Browser

    Date: Dec 29 2022
    Summary

    Positive experience with a clear unique selling proposition (USP). Definitely a clear winner for Cloud Browser.

    I am also testing the use case of a Virtual Workstation (self-hosted) using the community edition. So far it's been a positive experience and I am considering to move from a Cloud Browser customer to a Virtual Workstation customer.

    Positive

    (1) A good way to get a clean browser every time consistently from a fixed environment without the hassle of maintaining any infrastructure
    (2) Two US locations, one EU location, and one AP location makes it practical if needing measurement from different region

    Negative

    (1) I wish there is a way to load specific extensions to the browser image every time.

    Summary

    It's simple to create the account, and it is a good platform, in my sincere opinion it came to innovate in the category!

    Kasm has a clean interface.
    Has a nice pool of features in the platform.
    The plans price are very reasonable.
    My workspace doesn't close when I leave, it is incredible.

    Why I recommend Kasm

    Date: Dec 31 2021
    Summary

    I have been using Kasm for a couple months now and I have enjoyed it a lot. I started using for school actually, since my district blocked all of notetaking apps that I like to use. I also set up a custom container for an audio service that I like. I started using this just for myself, then a buddy of mine asked for me to make a user for him and this system has been going strong for a good 2 months now. I also want to point out that they have amazing support, that answered all of the questions I had very promptly.

    Positive

    Kasm Workspaces is very easy to install, It only took me about 30 minutes to get it up and running. They have done a great job with the web UI design. It is also very easy to add new containers, since they are based of docker images. I personally like how easy it is to add another user, it only takes a matter of minutes. And there is a lot of documentation to assist with any problems you might have.

    Negative

    There's not much to say here, but what comes to mind first is the inability of the admin account to view (see what is going on) all current sessions. That may be my mistake however.

    Secure Desktop and Top-notch browser protection

    Updated: Mar 11 2021
    Summary

    It's very cost-effective and hands down the most secure browser with the added VDI this is an absolute bargain.

    Positive

    Kasm is the first true "Workplace in the Cloud”, providing access to applications, desktops and browsers.

    I use Kasm for presentations of my work-in-progress. I can share my screen with participants without putting my browser at risk. The Sharing feature is also useful for remote screen sharing during web conferences or meetings without having to join into a web conference application. The broad range of powerful features of Kasm allows me to interact with the Web without exposing my computer/browser to risks such as malware or phishing attacks and data loss during a system crash.

    Negative

    The copy and paste can is only functional through the control panel on the left.

    Modern Desktop Solution from the future

    Date: Aug 31 2021
    Summary

    Kasm provides our users with an isolated and safe desktop to use. It allows a level of customization that can be adapted to the needs of users and administrators. I strongly recommend you to try Kasm!

    Positive

    As a VDI engineer, one of the most challenging tasks for me is creating images. The process of creating an image using Kasm is done as code. Using devops practice to create a base/golden image can reduce management overhead, because future updates will not require you to reinstall applications or reconfigure settings in the operating system. Using the base image in the code also allows for team collaboration, because everyone on my team can view the work done in the golden image line by line, instead of relying on SMB or application owners to share information about how to install specific applications information. I have implemented different VDI solutions in this field for more than 15 years, and Kasm is the most innovative solution because they are using containers.

    Negative

    Because the technology is based on Linux, it is impossible to run some Windows applications, but I hope this situation will change in the near future, because most applications are web-based and are now developed for different operating systems of.

    Secure Desktop for Email/Files/Websites

    Date: Mar 02 2021
    Summary

    With more people working from home during COVID, not everyone has access to the latest cybersecurity protection which makes it important to take precautions against web threats. Kasm allows me to interact with untrusted email and files without putting my own system at risk.

    Positive

    Kasm provides a safe way to visit websites, check webmail and open files without putting my computer at risk. As a realtor, I have to open files from clients and colleagues who may not have the latest security protections. By using a desktop in the cloud, I can ensure that my computer is not compromised.

    Negative

    Additional browser login when opening the desktop.

    Cloud Hosted Applications and Desktops

    Date: Feb 28 2021
    Summary

    A great way to leverage the cloud when interacting with the internet to make sure that your computer and data stays safe.

    The best price of the available solutions, cloud hosted and browser-based so I don’t have to install any software.

    Positive

    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.

    Negative

    File upload is through the control panel instead of drag-and-drop.

    Very Promising

    Date: Dec 31 2021
    Summary

    I haven't spent a TON of time with this application, but I do think that it both has potential and is already amazing even in its current state. I would love to see where it goes in the future!

    Positive

    I love the compatibility on mobile! Personally I have not even used it on desktop, but I never have had to! It just seems to work with nearly no problems at all on my iPhone 11 using Safari.

    In addition to the compatibility, I also love the amount of functions. There are so many useful things, including an on-screen keyboard, audio support that goes BOTH WAYS (mic & speaker), and file managing tools.

    In terms of pricing, they offer a free community edition, kinda like IntelliJ IDEA. I LOVE this because it allows individuals to use the service and see what it does as well as experience much of the functionality without a large cost.

    Negative

    The ONLY issue I noticed was that microphone support on iOS does not seem to work at all, which is minor in the grand scheme of things.

    Multitude of different apps to choose and use, deployable to different regions. Super easy to use and deploy with a very intuitive and easy design! Never had to use their support so I am only rating them as 3.
