ASG-Remote Desktop
Best for users that have many desktops or servers they need to login to. Great in my environment of multiple clients and the need for fast login and resolution of their issue. If you have a large infrastructure or multiple clients, this is a product you need!

Parallels Desktop
My main use is running my Bootcamp partition in Parallels to use Windows-only BIM and 3D applications, while at the same time continuing to work in macOS (Office, Evernote, native-Mac BIM & 3D software). I takes a bit away from the native speed, so at times I reboot into Bootcamp to run them at full speed.If the models and documents are not too heavy, the ease of integration outweighs the performance loss. However, booting and loading heavy applications takes time, so I avoid running if at all possible.

Pros

- Provide easy and fast connections
- Backup and restore configurations

- Run the Bootcamp partition in a running macOS session.
- Integrate in both directions: copy/paste text, open files in both directions, integrate the file system, to read and write files in either direction.
- Using the same hardware and network connection.
- Run Clickshare in a Windows session, when the Mac-version fails due to non-updated system firmware updates.

Cons
- Can be overly complicated at first, but you can add into the features as you build your organization skills

- The overall requirement to run this on older laptops is bit too high. If you are running with less than 8 GB ram, it slows down the system quite badly.
- Installation is quite tricky.

It has a good integration, including the connection of peripherals. Taking files back and forth works well and I can attach my Home drive as a network drive in Windows. There is even integration with iCloud and other macOS services. There are also a few different display modes which are useful and fleixible (coherence, windowed, full-screen with multiple screens)

The only advice I can provide is think about who is using the product and build the image based on the true needs of the user.

Alternatives Considered
ASG-Remote is very flexible and with so many options available it makes the configuration you want for your setup super simple. Other products do not offer the extra features for database and reporting. As well, it offers all the connection types you can possibly think of. The ability to automate tasks for regular servers and workstations is amazing!

Not recommended for non-technical users but VMWare and Virtual Box are acceptable alternatives to these.
