Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Remote Application Server
Pros
- Support for multiple application types (web, local, desktop, files).
- Security - Delivering everything via a single secure gateway.
- Integrates incredibly well into existing infrastructure.
- Delivers a similar experience across multiple client types (PC's, Mac's, Tablets, Browsers).
Cons
- Setting up MFA/2FA can be a little complex - I'd like to see a "security first" approach with guided setup at the time of deployment.
- Already has produced a 200% saving on VPN client software and endpoints.
- Has reduced travel and commuting, saving an estimated 1 day a week in lost productivity per user.
- We estimate during the current Coronavirus (Covid19), it will enable us to carry out "business as usual" - and in effect reducing down time from 100% to zero.
Citrix is an excellent product but very expensive. Additionally, VDI and Remote PC access are not possible with Virtual Apps - you also need the desktops option as well.
Microsoft's solution is less expensive than Citrix's, but it's a pain to set up, requires a lot of hardware to "do it right" and you'll find numerous issues around things like printing and remote scanning, etc - all of which are pretty seamless and "just like being there" when using Parallels RAS.
And once it's installed, it's just as easy to manage, publish apps, monitor and update all from that same location.
