Parallels RAS recognized for multiple reasons

Parallels RAS received recognition in this year’s G2 Grids and Reports based on several high-value characteristics.

On the G2 website, reviewer Stefan Z. says, “Parallels RAS brings all your IT infrastructure (servers, applications, shared drives, private cloud, printers) in a browser at a fingertip, with excellent user experience, low latency, and high security. It provides the agility complex businesses need.”

Another reviewer, Francesco M. says, “With Parallels RAS, Windows starts in seconds with seamless integration. It’s fast, quick, and there’s no need to renounce Windows application when using a Mac. The interface is really simple to use, advanced settings are easily available, but they are normally invisible.”

For inclusion in these reports, a product must have a series of positive reviews on the G2 website. As of this writing, Parallels RAS has 67 reviews and a ranking of 4.2 out of five stars.

G2 Grids, Indexes, and Report methodologies

The G2 Grids measure customer satisfaction and market presence with ratings generated from user-supplied product reviews and market presence data. This data is used to plot the featured products on a quadrant with four sections: Leaders, High Performers, Contenders, and Niche.

To create its grids, G2 applies a unique algorithm to the data to generate a numerical score for customer satisfaction and market presence on a scale of 0 to 100.

According to the G2 Research Scoring Methodologies page, “Each input is normalized by category and segment. This means that scores are relative to other products in the category/segment and may change from segment to segment.”

The methodology for Implementation Indexes is similar, with criteria that include the amount of time (in months) required for each product to go live, user adoption percentage, implementation method, and the overall number of reviews received on G2.

The team at Parallels is thrilled that customers recognize the high value it strives to deliver to everyone who uses these solutions. Also, G2 recognized Parallels® Desktop for Mac for Fastest Implementation in the Remote Desktop category.
