Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Remote Application Server

We were looking for a solution to replace the standard way of using Terminal Services in Windows. We looked at and tested a few programs until we came across RAS. Parallels provides an easy way of providing security. Using RAS as an application server, the setup is extremely easy and deploying to users is as painless as possible.

Pros

  • Easy setup
  • Tons of features

Cons

  • None so far
  • 100% uptime since installing last year
  • Easy user management
Security was a big thing. Trust in security is a big thing. After testing multiple alternatives, we were quite satisfied with Parallels RAS. With AD authentication, it also makes it easy for our users. Monitoring and reporting are quite in-depth, too.
The simplicity of the setup and maintenance of Parallels Remote Application Server is the best. I've found no alternative product that delivers virtual desktops and applications as easy as this product. We've had to issues since we installed a year ago.
Our users are easily able to connect to Parallels Remote Application Server from their phones, tablets, laptops, or desktops and easily do the work they need to. We've had no issues with iOS or Android. Runs faster than standard Terminal Services in terms of printing or displaying the remote screen. Even in areas with limited internet connection.
Seamlessly integrated into our infrastructure with no problems. Users had no issues with using the software. The flexibility of this product is outstanding.
The use of multi-factor authentication, SSL, and user access control has helped improve security by a magnitude of what we had previously in place. Through granular permission policies, we were able to give users what they need access to without compromising other aspects of our business.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, we haven't had the need to contact support. Parallels Remote Application Server has run great over the past year with no issues.
