Parallels Device Management, a simple straight forward way to manage your Mac Fleet
Rating: 7 out of 10
IncentivizedUse 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
Likelihood to Recommend
We had a medium size fleet of macbook pros that we had deployed and had parallels already installed on them. We looked into a way to standardize and track these devices and started looking into Parallels as a solution to help us with this. Parallels was a good fit due to the fact that most of these machines already had the base system already installed
