    Overall the experience was positive. The product worked well for our needs and was quite easy to manage. The only weak points were some issues during implementation, that required opening some support SRs, and a few bugs in some versions, later fixed

Dislike

Unfortunately, the Parallels RAS became slow after configuring over 100 applications. Although it's customizable, the learning curve is a little high when trying to familiarize yourself with all the options. I would have appreciated the engineering and sales team spending more time showing us the benefits of cloud hosted resources.
