Vagon Teams – A Simpler Alternative to Citrix, AWS and Azure VD

Hey HN, I’m Hasancan, CTO of Vagon. For the past three years, we’ve been providing cloud desktops for creatives. More than 500,000 users have tried Vagon, and thousands use it daily for 3D design, video editing, game development, and engineering. Teams using our cloud workstations started requesting features like security controls, file sharing, and team management. Existing options like AWS Workspaces and Azure VD are expensive, require deep cloud expertise, and don’t scale efficiently. We built Vagon Teams as a simpler, more flexible alternative. What Vagon Teams offers: One-click deployment, no IT setup required Flexible performance scaling per user, per task Usage monitoring, permission controls, and secure file sharing Works on any device without latency issues The problem with existing solutions AWS and Azure are complex and require technical expertise to set up and manage High costs with rigid pricing models that don’t adapt to team needs Limited flexibility in performance scaling and resource allocation What’s next? We’re developing a version that lets teams use their own cloud servers or cloud provider credentials while benefiting from Vagon’s flexibility and performance. This will give teams more control over infrastructure costs without sacrificing ease of use. Would love to hear your thoughts, we're also live on Product Hunt today. Any feedback, ideas, and upvotes are appreciated. To celebrate our launch, we’re also offering a 1-week Vagon Teams trial for just $0.99, with 75% off.
