Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Device Management (formerly Parallels Mac Management)

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
  • Central location for management via Webv
  • Existing ecosystem for our mac users
  • Trust and transparent set up from normal operations
  • 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
  • Security
  • Proven provider of service
  • Low lift from deployment
  • Easy to deploy out to our fleet
  • quick turn around time to provision with parallels
  • ease of use from end user perspective
We looked at a product called virtual box to do something similar to what we saw from Parallels but it was much more manual for us to deploy out the tool and we would have had to do a lot more work to manage all the systems we have in the fleet

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
