Need more stability with your virtualization provider?
Parallels RAS, your new Horizon.
If you are looking for more stability and less complexity in your app and desktop delivery solution and are currently searching for a Omnissa Horizon alternative, then you should consider Parallels® RAS.
Typical concerns from Omnissa Horizon customers
Business stability
There has been a fair amount of turmoil with the changes Horizon customers have recently experienced. From dropping a large portion of their partner network and increasing costs, to openly suggesting a focus on their top 1000 customers, these moves suggest a lack of care for their remaining customers and a shift in their culture which has delivered a lot of uncertainty for Horizon customers.
Costly choice
Horizon customers seeking the flexibility to deploy on-premises, via hybrid or multi-cloud environments, or to make Azure Virtual Desktop transitions are challenged by complex licensing. Adding to that, Horizon Universal Licensing adds further costs and complexity to the experience.
Complexity
Horizon customers must deal with multiple consoles and different touchpoints to access information. Why not empower users with a simple digital workspace? Leverage just one console for administration for straightforward deployment and management.
