WorkSpaces Manager simplifies Amazon WorkSpaces administration, cost optimization, and bulk provisioning across all accounts, regions, and directories from a single console.
Overview
Amazon WorkSpaces Management and Cost Optimisation from a Single Console
WorkSpaces Manager is a comprehensive management solution for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal (on any bundle - AWS-provided or BYOL) and WorkSpaces Applications (formerly AppStream 2.0). Manage every AWS account, region, and directory from one intuitive console - no AWS portal experience required.
Built by Nuvens Consulting Limited, an AWS Partner holding the Amazon EUC Competency, WorkSpaces Manager has been in production with enterprise estates since 2018, with more than 300 features added from customer requests. Nuvens has delivered Amazon WorkSpaces solutions since 2016.
Start with a 30-day free trial on your real WorkSpaces estate so you can see savings before any payment. Live demos are available on request, and Nuvens offers a free 30-minute WorkSpaces estate review.
Proven Cost Optimisation
- Automatically identify unused WorkSpaces over a defined period and convert them to pay-as-you-go
- Detect orphaned WorkSpaces that exist but are no longer tied to an AD user
- Intelligent AlwaysOn/AutoStop switching based on real usage patterns
- One customer estate was reduced from 12,000 WorkSpaces to under 10,000, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly. Over 2,000 idle WorkSpaces were removed, and underused desktops moved from $85 to $55 per month each - a 35% reduction per desktop
Large-Scale Provisioning
- Deploy thousands of WorkSpaces in a single run from an AD or Entra ID group with automated build checks and user notifications
- Import users in bulk via Excel for at-scale deployment
- Full provisioning workflow from Active Directory integration to customised welcome emails
- Integrate with O365 to create mailboxes as part of the WorkSpaces creation workflow
- Integrate with SCCM, Liquidware FlexApp, or Microsoft Intune for user self-service application delivery (Intune requires BYOL WorkSpaces)
- A new starter gets a ready-to-work desktop in minutes rather than days, with no manual console steps
Performance Monitoring and Maintenance
- CPU, memory, and storage utilisation with real-time and historic reporting
- Deeper diagnostics and drill-down available with Liquidware Stratusphere integration
- Schedule WorkSpaces reboots and report on reboot history
- Remotely manage a user's WorkSpace via the console
- Session latency history for troubleshooting user experience issues
Granular Access Control
- Over 15 different administrative roles with specific permissions
- Limit access to certain regions, directories, or tags
- Service desk staff get role-based control (reboot, rebuild, shadow, performance history) without AWS console access, cutting escalations to AWS specialists
Advanced Search
- Find any WorkSpace instantly by user name, computer name, email address, IP address, directory, bundle, tags, and more
Deployment and Data Residency
Subscribe on AWS Marketplace, then launch the supplied CloudFormation template in your target AWS account. This deploys the WorkSpaces Manager appliance (EC2 instance and RDS database) inside your account. Connect your WorkSpaces directories and any additional AWS accounts, apply the licence key, and the console is live the same day. A step-by-step guide is provided with the listing.
WorkSpaces Manager is deployed entirely within your own AWS account. Directory data, usage metrics, session history, and cost data are stored there and remain inside your AWS boundary.
Prerequisites: An existing Amazon WorkSpaces environment, Microsoft Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID, and an AWS account with permission to create the CloudFormation stack.
Customers and Scale
WorkSpaces Manager runs estates from 150 to 20,000+ users across professional services, financial software, government, payments infrastructure, and insurance. The largest single platform managed is 20,000+ users, with estates of over 10,000 users in daily production. Anonymised case studies and referenceable enterprise customers are available on request.
24x7x365 Support Included
Every plan includes around-the-clock product support from the Nuvens engineering team who build and operate WorkSpaces Manager. Support covers installation, upgrades, product issues, and how-to questions.

Highlights
- Proven Cost Optimization: One customer reduced 12,000 WorkSpaces to under 10,000, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly. WorkSpaces Manager automatically identifies idle and orphaned desktops, switches underused WorkSpaces between AlwaysOn and AutoStop based on real usage data, and has cut per-desktop costs by 35% for customers. The intelligent cost optimization engine runs continuously across every connected AWS account and directory.
- Bulk Provisioning at Enterprise Scale: Deploy thousands of WorkSpaces in a single run from Active Directory or Entra ID groups, with automated build checks and user notifications. New starters receive a ready-to-work desktop in minutes rather than days with no manual AWS console steps required. Import users via Excel, automate welcome emails, and integrate with O365, SCCM, or Liquidware FlexApp for self-service application delivery.
- Granular Security with Over 15 Administrative Roles: Define role-based access with specific permissions limiting control to certain regions, directories, or tags. Service desk staff can reboot, rebuild, shadow, and view performance and latency history without AWS console access, cutting escalations to AWS specialists. WorkSpaces Manager deploys entirely within the customer's own AWS account, so all directory data, usage metrics, and cost data remain inside the customer's AWS boundary.

CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
