Featured Reviews

Hamada Farag - PeerSpot reviewer
Technology Consultant at Beta Information Technology
A cost-effective and streamlined virtual desktop infrastructure solution with a user-friendly interface and simplified management
The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency. The simplicity of the management tools is a key highlight, especially when compared to other solutions like Citrix, where there is often complexity due to various components such as controllers, storefronts, and different servers.
JohanSkibdahl - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at Etcetera Networks
Secure access across devices with cost-effective seamless integration
One valuable feature is the ability to securely use a wide range of devices to access the company's infrastructure. The inclusion of all necessary components, such as load balancer and gateways, in a monthly fee is also beneficial. In terms of Parallels Desktop, the coherence mode that allows Mac and Windows applications to run seamlessly side by side is highly regarded.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"The user experience is quite good."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"Parallels Desktop allows me to run both Mac and Windows operating systems on a single machine, eliminating the need for separate Windows hardware."
"Maintenance of software versions has been greatly simplified, ensuring that all users are using the same version of applications."
"Allows us to publish applications accessible by current-generation HTML5 browser or OS-specific client (Windows, Android, iOS), and it supports popular single sign-on and multi-factor authentication protocols."
"We can publish apps and desktops on Terminal Servers and seamlessly share printers. We also combine Parallels with Deepnet Security to get two-factor authentication."
"You have the opportunity to virtualize applications in different locations, and everything is in one pane or one window, which is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which you can publish applications to different groups of users, by integrating with Windows Active Directory."
"We can provision the servers without the need for another third-party solution."
"It permits us to control the applications that our users are able to get to, in a seamless manner. We're able to distribute applications to users' desktops, just like those applications are on each user's computer, but they're not."
 

Cons

"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
"It would be highly beneficial if they could offer a version that is entirely on-premises, eliminating the need for cloud connection except for data access."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution can be made faster and it should improve performance wise."
"HALB is not stable in our environment."
"We have encountered stability issues at times. Some updates are not good and are followed by a new update soon after."
"From a seller's point of view, there are a lot of things that they could do better in the sales cycle."
"We would like to be able to re-label the OTP (One Time Password) popup so our users can easily recognize that they are to put in their DUO code on that line. Most users see OTP and ask what that is."
"The customization of the web interface could possibly use some improvement."
"Improvement is needed in performance monitoring of the client's endpoint, and automatic re-connection of the client in the event of circuit disruptions (this works well generally but can present challenges)."
"All areas of the product could be improved especially for the IT department, facilitating the deployment of applications and their maintenance."
"I think tech support needs to be improved because whatever support I get is through email, so it takes a very long time for them to reply."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is very good."
"It is a cost-effective option with comparable functionality to competitors."
"The licensing is based on the number of users of the solution."
"Nutanix Frame is a very expensive solution."
"I don't like the subscription model because it feels like I have to pay every month. If Parallels could go back to the professional license, it would be much better."
"Work with the vendor, as this is a fairly new product and they want use cases. Deals can be made."
"The product is not expensive. I rate its pricing a three or four out of ten."
"It is not that high. It is in the medium range. Of course, it could be lower, but the price is not the issue."
"Pricing is a little steep."
"It is very affordable."
"I recommend testing Parallels and comparing it to your needs. Compare the prices against what you are able to do with the product and its alternatives. Parallels is not a cheap product."
"It is inexpensive compared to one of its competitors."
