We performed a comparison between Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS) and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and others in Application Virtualization."We can provision the servers without the need for another third-party solution."
"Setup was straightforward. Our particular use case involved an Active Directory forest involving two data centers and three domains. User authentication against Active Directory was the easiest to set up and validate of any application installed in the last three years."
"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."
"We use Cloudpaging to package and deploy the vast majority of our applications to our standard Windows 10 desktops. With the use of Parallels integration into Software2 AppsAnywhere hub, this means we can use the same packages to deliver Windows applications to almost any device - Windows, mac OS, iOS, Android, Linux, Xbox One, PS4 - just by ticking a box."
"The connection is compressed so we don't need a lot of resources to run it."
"It has allowed us to centralize the software location so we don't have to update the software client on 70 computers."
"The stability is ok - once I finished the setup, the system was quite stable."
"Simplicity of the interface is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it enables us to remotely manage the devices, which is its purpose, and to push applications to the mobile devices from the portal."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We've found the solution to be easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"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)."
"The solution's application virtualization feature needs improvement."
"We use several gateways because access to our secret zone requires two-factor user authentication. It is a lot of hassle differentiating among users with or without two-factor. Of course, we could use two farms, but that would mean more management too."
"From a seller's point of view, there are a lot of things that they could do better in the sales cycle."
"The customization of the web interface could possibly use some improvement. Little things, like being able to place a background image instead of just choosing from a palette of colors, would be nice."
"We would like the ability to provide a popup message, such as a maintenance notification. That same notification on the Parallels client would be awesome."
"If the solution crashes, then all the customers connected through that agent, lose their session."
"Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS) is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"The pricing could always be better."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
