Use Cases and Deployment Scope

A fairly streamlined solution for users who are already using Parallels to manage and deploy Macintosh based units to a general population's of users who are not centrally based. It allowed us via the web to allow users to to manage and support a medium size user fleet that we could do from one central location

Pros

Central location for management via Webv
Existing ecosystem for our mac users
Trust and transparent set up from normal operations

Cons

It can be a bit difficult with a large fleet of computers
Can be a bit hard to troubleshoot if there are issues
There are other tools that are cheaper that do the same thing albeit not as well

Most Important Features

Security
Proven provider of service
Low lift from deployment

Return on Investment

Easy to deploy out to our fleet
quick turn around time to provision with parallels
ease of use from end user perspective
