Really solid cloud PC experience with a few small improvements I'd love to see I've been using Vagon to run a cloud-based Windows PC from my Mac, primarily for a fairly demanding 3D mapping application, and overall I've been really impressed. Getting everything set up was incredibly painless. I also appreciated the introductory offer, which included a low-cost storage trial and an hour of free computing time. It was a great way to try the service without committing much money upfront. Performance has been solid, and I haven't encountered any major issues. I initially had trouble connecting through the browser despite the connection test reporting excellent results. However, my Mac is managed by my employer and has additional network security software, so I can't confidently attribute that issue to Vagon. Switching to their dedicated macOS application resolved the connection problem, and that's also the method Vagon recommends. There are a few smaller things I'd like to see improved: The streaming quality occasionally appeared to fluctuate between slightly soft or blurry and very sharp. It was particularly noticeable with fine details in the application I was using, although I can't say for certain whether this was caused by the streaming connection or the application itself. I'd also love more control over the floating toolbar. On a single-monitor setup, it takes up a noticeable amount of usable screen space. Being able to resize it, dock it, or collapse it into something smaller while keeping it accessible would be nice. A quick-access option for the Windows on-screen keyboard would also be a welcome addition, especially when connecting from a Mac. Finally, I'd appreciate clearer documentation about backup and restore options, particularly whether users can restore a previously backed-up virtual machine or system image. I haven't actually attempted this, so I'm not suggesting the functionality doesn't exist. It's simply something I looked for when researching the service and couldn't find a clear answer to. Overall, these are relatively minor criticisms. The core service has been reliable, setup was easy, and the ability to access a powerful Windows machine without purchasing additional hardware is fantastic. I'm very happy with my experience so far and would definitely recommend Vagon.

I used Vagon for playing Space Rangers 2 HD, which is an obscure game that's is almost 15 years old and that specifically requires a version of Windows in the Russian language to get its unofficial community mods running. I am on a Mac, and while I could put an effort to make it run on a Mac, it would definitely take me too long to figure out how to make those mods run on my machine. I used the cheapest option with the GPU (which costs $0.99 per hour) and that was enough to remote play this game. I could also change the Windows language to Russian, which allowed to get the mods I needed working. I had good streaming quality and good latency on regular Ethernet, comparable to what I've had with GeForce Now. The only thing I can complain about is the lack of a monthly subscription option (like aforementioned GeForce Now), which makes it quite expensive if you want to play some game regularly. The service seems to be more suited for occasional testing of stuff on a Windows machine rather than for everyday use.

I've been using Vagon as a cloud workstation for my AI-powered aviation documentary project, primarily to work with DaVinci Resolve. One of the biggest advantages is being able to access a powerful Windows computer through my browser without investing in expensive local hardware. This is particularly useful when working with video production and editing software. My experience has been promising, although there are areas that could be improved. Transferring and managing project files between my laptop and the cloud workstation could be easier. I would also love to see better automation support, especially for developers using AI coding agents such as Codex to manage production workflows. Overall, Vagon is a useful platform with great potential for independent filmmakers, creators and small production studios. I'm looking forward to seeing how the service develops.

Easy and straightforward setup. Reasonable pricing with the exception of their egress charges after 10GB which is a real pain for my use case. Would be 5 stars but there a a few small things that add up for overall usability some of which are specific to my use case.

Lo usé para renderizar video con Adobe Media Encoder, funcionó inicialmente pero ahora que tengo una gran cantidad de videos para renderizar que mi pc no soporta si considero que se vuelve muy costoso

Easy to deploy and configure but subscription is pricey if you are not planning to use expensive models.

Good option for people who own a computer with os other than windows, I own a Mac and needed to run a program which only works with windows, this was the best option for me to use.

The cloud computer was great! it worked well and I got all of the perks of a windows PC in the cloud!
