Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Remote Application Server

Parallels RAS is in use in our company for several years. It is used together with DeenNeet DualShield Authentication server to provide 2FA secure access to those corporate servers which should not be exposed directly to the Internet due to sensitive data stored there.
Users are able to access the sensitive data from any point. Parallels's comprehensive server/feature management allows our IT department to be very flexible.
  • Centralized servers status view (memory, disk, CPU)
  • Flexible permissions (users, groups)
  • Possibility to customize the corporate WWW portal view
  • It would be great to have the option for temporary license. For example 10 licenses for 1 month, instead of yearly subscription.
In our organization many users from various departments are accessing a number of RDS and Remote PCs using the Parallels RAS.
The primary user interface in our organization is Parallels PC Client, however in several cases the HTML5 access has also been used.
The Parallels Remote Application Server is running on VMWare ESXi Virtual Machine in our organization.
I have not so good experience with Tear-1 support team, however as soon as my problems were moved to the next level of support, the picture changed drastically. Guys from Tear-2 were all professionals and handled all the tickets very fast.

DeenNeet DualShield Authentication server
It was required to provide ad-hock access for about 50 new users (not all simultaneously) to some internal server.
With Parallels RAS it was done very fast. Very flexible permissions definition allowed us to separate users according to our needs.
