Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Remote Application Server
We spent 10 years using publishing desktops on the virtualized Citrix XenApp environment. Times changed and a lot of our stuff became web-based. We moved our offices to Mac OSX desktops and needed to stream a couple of legacy windows only applications. I found the Parallels Remote Application Server a lot simpler to setup. No longer needing domain controllers and levels of servers, I was able to get Parallels set up on a single Azure server to stream the applications straight to the Mac desktops.
- Simple infrastructure.
- Easy to use interface.
- Good way to deliver Windows app's to Mac desktops.
- 15 user minimum license is a pain but still good value.
- Support is decent enough for my small deployment but I wonder what it would be like in a complicated environment.
- Requires less infrastructure and support.
I was apprehensive using a smaller known product in the industry thinking there wouldn't be much support, but to be honest, I barely needed any training or support. You can load up AWS or Azure images all ready configured in minutes!
Mac users are able to open a single Windows application within the Mac OS without having to log into a remote desktop.
Being able to load on Azure has meant we haven't needed any hardware on-site anymore.
Security filtering has been great and easy to manage.
