Chose Citrix Workspace (discontinued)
Citrix does great at allowing us to access work from remote locations. Our IT provider is very familiar with the product and is able to troubleshoot this product much better than the competitors.
Chose Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS)
We love the easy integration and functionality on the client side. With Citrix Workspace we always had connectivity issues and re-logins, which we never had with Parallels RAS. Awingu was also a good choice, because of its browser-only approach, but sometimes it is too …
Chose Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS)
Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS) stacks up against VMware Horizon and Citrix Workspace because it was much more cost effective and easier to install, configure and implement. Our decision to use Parallels RAS was because of using all features with one license …

Chose Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS)
Parallels RAS stacks up against other options, but each has its own pros and cons; it is important to know what a company is trying to accomplish with the solution to make the best decision as they're all good products. The same is true across the board with IT. For instance, …
Chose Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS)
To be honest, we thought of Parallels Remote Application Server as a poor man's Citrix. We went with it initially because it met the immediate need and was a lot cheaper, but that might not be a fair description considering the features provided. They've continued to add new …
Chose Parallels Remote Application Server (Parallels RAS)
Our previous Citrix environment was aging, and when we spoke with our ERP vendor, and discovered that they were using Parallels Remote Application Server as their own hosting platform for hosted clients, it made it an easier decision to deploy knowing that they were using the …
