What customers are saying about Parallels Secure Workspace

"You can enable RDS via VPN, but that’s hardly secure enough. Furthermore, there are Citrix products — but those that come with a lot of overhead, are harder to use and turn out to be a lot more costly for our clients. Keeping those things — security, cost and ease-of-use — in mind, Parallels Secure Workspace turned out to be the best option."

Jente Vandijck
Solutions Architect, VanRoey.be

"The minute people go to the cloud, they forget all the security best practices they use on-prem. Microsoft Azure is known to host a lot of “lift and shift” workloads, and many IT admins choose the default setting when it comes to RDS: putting everything open. In an on-prem situation, you need to make an effort to make data accessible from the outside, in a public cloud setting, you need to make an effort to keep data inaccessible from the outside. That means that a ‘move to the public cloud’ often entails environments that are a lot more open than they should be."

Steven Dewinter
Sr. Global Director Sales Engineering, Alludo

"Parallels Secure Workspace allows our employees to access all our applications and data securely, which means they can continue working without the need for physical presence, ultimately saving time and costs."
