Parallels Remote Application Server and Workspace ONE UEM are competitors in remote desktop and enterprise mobility management. Parallels RAS leads in affordable pricing and ease of use, while Workspace ONE UEM offers extensive features for those willing to invest in a more comprehensive solution.
Features: Parallels RAS facilitates simplified virtual application delivery and centralized management to enhance performance. It also features easy application publication and client compatibility. Workspace ONE UEM provides complete device management with features like containerization, comprehensive security policies, and seamless integration with major platforms.
Room for Improvement: Parallels RAS could expand its security features and enhance reporting capabilities. It might also benefit from improved integration with third-party applications. Workspace ONE UEM could improve its deployment simplicity, offer better pricing options, and provide more intuitive navigation within its admin interface.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Parallels RAS is known for quick and straightforward deployment with strong support. Its minimal IT resource demand aids organizations in deployment. Workspace ONE UEM requires more involved deployment but backs it with detailed documentation and support, suited for businesses seeking a scalable solution.
Pricing and ROI: Parallels RAS offers competitive initial setup costs and a quick ROI due to low maintenance needs. Workspace ONE UEM, being more costly initially, may yield significant long-term ROI from its comprehensive capabilities for enterprises needing robust management features.
For Parallels RAS, the support is rated eight out of ten.
Support responds immediately, but I see that some engineers are new or they don't have experience collecting logs, so they take two to three days to come back.
I can start from fifteen users and scale it to nearly any size.
A potential improvement could be reducing the dependency on Microsoft solutions for Parallels RAS.
Another concern is that support is getting reduced by Workspace ONE; some customers are saying there are support issues on Workspace ONE right now.
No additional fees for maintenance or support are required.
In terms of Parallels Desktop, the coherence mode that allows Mac and Windows applications to run seamlessly side by side is highly regarded.
In UEM, the most helpful part of Windows Management is the baseline policy and central script; using this, you can replace all the AD GPO policy.

Reviews from Real Users
Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:
PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
