A stable and open-source solution that can be used as a gateway
What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
The solution's USB redirection could be improved. If the machine has a USB port, I'm not able to redirect it.
The solution should include FX protocol instead of RDP.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Apache Guacamole for five to six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Apache Guacamole is a pretty stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Around 25 to 30 users are using Apache Guacamole in our organization.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used Citrix and decided to switch to Apache Guacamole because it's a free, open-source solution.
What other advice do I have?
We are using the latest version of Apache Guacamole. Only one administrator is required to manage the solution.
Overall, I rate Apache Guacamole eight and a half out of ten.

Excellent Guacamole application
I have previously set up Guacamole for a project at work where we provide access to a number of Windows desktops. The initial POC involved dynamically generating a database script to automatically create connections and users. I wanted something easier to deploy once we moved our project to EC2, and I found GuAWS.
This AMI is super-easy to deploy, and the auto-discovery feature is a nice enhancement that saves me some twiddling in the database. I have some more fine-grained controls that I would like to see, but this is a very workable starting point for me!
Highly recommended
