Run multiple operating systems side by side

One of the standout features of Parallels Desktop 18 Business Edition is its ability to run multiple operating systems side by side, enabling users to switch between them easily.

Switching between multiple operating systems can be helpful for businesses that run various applications only compatible with different operating systems, such as Windows and Linux.

Another great feature of Parallels Desktop 18 Business Edition is its support for multiple monitors.

Multiple monitors enable users to extend their desktops across various displays, increasing productivity and making multitasking easier.

Enhanced security features with SSO/SAML

Parallels Desktop 18 Business Edition offers several enhanced security features with SSO/SAML.

As an IT admin, you need to ensure your tools adhere to the same high privacy and security standards you do. That’s why with this new release of Parallels Desktop 18 Business Edition, we worked hard to improve our security functionality.

For example, you can activate Parallels Desktop 18 Business Edition by logging in with a corporate account (SSO/SAML).

Our new SSO/SAML feature supports integration with popular IdPs, including Azure AD, Okta, Ping Identity, and others.

SCIM is also supported to grant and revoke access automatically.

It enables IT managers to manage employee groups without license keys, as with other SaaS apps.

As an IT admin for your business, you can easily configure SSO integration with Parallels by logging in to https://my.parallels.com using a standard corporate login procedure.

End users can activate the Parallels products on their devices by downloading and installing the software.
