Parallels RAS Likes & Dislikes

Like

The product integrates with third party 2FA/SSO providers ensuring a secure gateway for remote workers. Granular control over interactions between a user's home PC and remote desktop gives us reassurance that users can only perform the actions we explicitly allow. The reporting module provides comprehensive analysis on user sessions allowing us to troubleshoot with live data and provide accurate reports to stakeholders on usage. Parallels have been quick to implement and fix issues we have raised in subsequent versions of the application.

The best part of the product is its deployment, user interface, and resource requirements. Commercially outstanding with other products. The deployments we carried out were very good. Whoever we deployed; the customer liked it very much.

    Parallel RAS is an excellent product for remote / hybrid workers. The ease of deploying, user interface and security are the best in class. If we compare to other competing players, the price will be very competitive as well. The navigation and policy settings are much easier and excellent.
