Overview
Amazon WorkSpaces Management and Cost Optimisation from One Console
WorkSpaces Manager gives End User Computing teams a single, secure console to manage Amazon WorkSpaces Personal and WorkSpaces Applications (formerly AppStream 2.0) across every AWS account, region and directory. No AWS Console access required for your team - just faster administration, automated provisioning and lower WorkSpaces spend from day one.
Built by Nuvens Consulting Limited, an AWS Partner holding the Amazon EUC Competency, WorkSpaces Manager has been in production with enterprise estates since 2018. More than 300 features have been added from customer requests, and the platform manages estates from 150 to 20,000+ users across professional services, financial software, government, payments infrastructure and insurance.
Cut Your WorkSpaces Bill
One customer estate was reduced from 12,000 WorkSpaces to under 10,000, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. WorkSpaces Manager delivers these savings by:
- Always Optimised billing - Compares each user's actual hours with AlwaysOn and AutoStop pricing and switches the WorkSpace automatically every month
- Unused WorkSpace detection - Finds WorkSpaces unused for any period you choose, then downgrades or removes them under your rules (2,000+ idle WorkSpaces removed in one customer deployment)
- Orphaned WorkSpace cleanup - Identifies WorkSpaces with no Active Directory user attached, often leftovers from leavers
- Proactive rightsizing - CPU, memory and usage data show which WorkSpaces are oversized, enabling automatic downgrades (one customer moved underused desktops from $85 to $55 per month each, a 35% reduction per desktop)
- Cost history and chargeback - Twelve months of spend on one screen, with per-user cost history and WorkSpaces Pools billing breakdown
Provision Thousands of WorkSpaces in a Single Run
Replace manual builds with automated, audited workflows:
- Link a provisioning profile to an Entra ID or AD security group - every new member gets a WorkSpace automatically
- Build checks and user notification are automated so a new starter gets a ready-to-work desktop in minutes rather than days
- Integrate with ServiceNow or HR systems via API so joiner, mover and leaver requests create, change or remove WorkSpaces with no manual handoff
- Microsoft Intune application delivery is supported for BYOL WorkSpaces
Empower Your Service Desk Without AWS Console Access
Choose from more than 15 granular admin roles scoped by region, directory or tag. First-line staff can:
- Find any WorkSpace in seconds by name, email, WorkSpace ID, IP address, OS, directory, bundle or tag
- View latency, CPU and memory history for any user
- Reboot, rebuild or shadow a session directly from the console
- Resolve issues on the first call, cutting escalations to AWS specialists
Performance Monitoring and Automation
- Real-time and historic CPU, memory and storage utilisation reporting
- In-session latency history to diagnose slow desktops in seconds
- Application reporting for licence audits, security reviews and troubleshooting
- Automatic reboot of unhealthy WorkSpaces before users notice
- Scheduled wake-up for overnight patching so updates install out of hours
- Password expiry reminders to reduce lockout calls
- Protocol changes from PCoIP to WSP without rebuilding
Deployment and Getting Started
Prerequisites: An existing Amazon WorkSpaces environment, Microsoft Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID, and an AWS account with permission to create a CloudFormation stack.
Steps: Subscribe on AWS Marketplace, launch the supplied CloudFormation template in your target AWS account (this deploys the WorkSpaces Manager appliance as an 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.
Data residency: WorkSpaces Manager is deployed entirely within your own AWS account. Directory data, usage metrics, session history and cost data remain inside your AWS boundary.
Start With a 30-Day Free Trial
Every plan begins 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 to identify where unused and oversized WorkSpaces are hiding. Five enterprise customers are referenceable on request, with anonymised case studies available.

Highlights
- Cut WorkSpaces spend from month one. WorkSpaces Manager automatically switches each desktop between AlwaysOn and AutoStop billing based on real usage, finds orphaned and idle WorkSpaces, and right-sizes oversized bundles. One customer reduced 12,000 WorkSpaces to under 10,000, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, with underused desktops moved from $85 to $55 each - a 35% per-desktop reduction.
- Provision thousands of WorkSpaces in a single run. Link an Auto Provisioning profile to an AD or Entra ID group and every new member gets a WorkSpace automatically - built, checked, and emailed with sign-in instructions. New starters get a ready-to-work desktop in minutes rather than days, with no manual console steps. Bulk imports, build verification, and user notifications are all handled by WorkSpaces Manager.
- Give your service desk control without AWS Console access. Choose from more than 15 roles scoped by region, directory, or tag so first-line staff can search, reboot, rebuild, shadow sessions, and view latency and performance history. Escalations to AWS specialists drop because the people answering the phone can fix the issue themselves. All actions are audited in a single multi-account, multi-region console.

Dimensions summary
You pay per unit, where each unit maps to a WorkSpace or user. Several dimensions reflect product versions, from Enterprise Version 4 and Version 5 through Standard and Enterprise licenses in later versions. A separate Standard Per WorkSpace option covers per-desktop licensing. The WorkSpace Applications dimension bills per user for managing application delivery. Advanced Console Integration is a distinct add-on for connecting to external systems. Pricing scales with how many WorkSpaces or users you manage, so your cost rises with the size of your estate. You select the dimensions that match your version and workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit maps to a single Amazon WorkSpace that the product manages. Each desktop in your estate counts separately. As you add or remove WorkSpaces, your billed unit count changes to match. The WorkSpace Applications dimension instead counts per user for application delivery management.
Yes. Billing scales with the number of WorkSpaces or users under management. The product finds unused, orphaned and oversized desktops and can downgrade or remove them under your rules. Fewer managed WorkSpaces means fewer billed units, so your cost falls as your estate shrinks.
The per-WorkSpace dimensions and the WorkSpace Applications dimension bill independently and appear together on the same invoice. Desktop management is counted per WorkSpace; application delivery is counted per user. Your total adds both counts. The desktop count usually drives most of the bill for large estates.

Automation has transformed workspace lifecycle management and now reduces our operational burden
Reviewed on Jun 17, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for WorkSpaces Manager is to manage, automate, and optimize our AWS WorkSpaces across multiple environments and multiple clients, covering automation, provisioning, de-provisioning of workspaces, and cost optimization.
We had clients with Amazon WorkSpaces, and as the clients were growing day by day, the requirement was to make management easier since managing WorkSpaces daily is a hassle. At that point, we evaluated multiple vendors and options, and then we came across this solution. We used it to manage 300 or 400 workspaces. Some of them did not belong to clients, so we deleted or paused those. We reduced the count of VDI using WorkSpaces Manager significantly, and it helped us monitor everything.
What is most valuable?
The best features WorkSpaces Manager offers include automation, lifecycle management which is outstanding, schedule, stop, start, de-provision workflow, employee departure workflow initiation, and self-service capabilities.
Out of those features, I find myself using lifecycle management the most because it helps us take actionable items, including stopping, deleting, and de-provisioning.
WorkSpaces Manager has positively impacted our organization by dropping the operational burden on our cloud infrastructure team. Previously we were manually keeping monthly audits and checking workspaces from multiple environments. With WorkSpaces Manager, everything is in one console, making it easy for us to review and take action.
What needs improvement?
WorkSpaces Manager's multi-region management could be stronger. Managing WorkSpaces across different AWS regions from a single unified point still has some friction.
Deeper integration with AWS Cost Explorer for combined reporting would have been very valuable.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using WorkSpaces Manager for approximately five years.
What other advice do I have?
WorkSpaces Manager automation has greatly impacted our team's workflow and the client's experience. The client experience is now excellent, and our internal team has less work, making life significantly easier.
I rate WorkSpaces Manager around eight on a scale of one to ten. I chose an eight because it makes sensible automation decisions about Workspace management, compliance, risk, audit, and logging. However, we would welcome more AI-driven security anomaly detection and unusual Workspace pattern identification.
Regarding WorkSpaces Manager's AI capabilities, the usage analysis and detection accuracy is high. Our expectation regarding false positive de-provisioning triggers has been minimal after we set the inactive threshold appropriately. The accuracy and reliability of output from WorkSpaces Manager is perfect.
My advice to others looking into using WorkSpaces Manager is that if you have multiple regions with multiple WorkSpaces in your environment, this solution will help you see everything in one console from a single point and take automation actions, which is great because automation is essential in the lifecycle of WorkSpaces. The overall rating I would give to WorkSpaces Manager is eight.

We implemented WorkSpaces Manager back in Oct of 2021 and it has consistently provided us with a reduction in cost month after month.
From a management stand point this has significant cut down the amount of clicks needed to perform actions like: terminations, running mode, tags, and much more!
Aside from the product, the Nuvens team is honestly one of the best vendors that I have worked with in my career. They are proactive, respond very quickly, and are always open to new suggestions.
If you are using AWS workspaces in your environment I highly recommend this product!
Chis, Julien, and Paul are rockstars!

Workspaces Manager is the GUI that Workspaces needs but doesn't have in the AWS console. I've only scratched the surface of it's features and I've already gotten plenty of value out of the tool. Managing our 100+ Workspaces is a breeze now. If you use Workspaces at scale, you need this tool. The team at Nuvens is very responsive, actively adding new features, and listens to user feedback. Very happy with the experience overall.
