Cloud-delivered EUC remains a strategic priority, but how organizations consume, govern, and operate cloud platforms is being actively reevaluated.
Join Parallels for an exclusive webinar presenting the key findings from the Parallels Cloud Survey 2026, based on insights from 500+ IT professionals across mid-sized to large organizations. This year’s results reveal a market at an inflection point: Continued reliance on hyperscale platforms like Microsoft and AWS, paired with rising dissatisfaction around cost, operational complexity, support continuity, and vendor lock-in.
In this session, we’ll explore why two-thirds of respondents are actively seeking a new solution, most with plans to move within the next six months. We’ll examine how cloud strategy is becoming more pragmatic, shifting away from multi-cloud ambition toward simpler single-cloud and hybrid models, and how SaaS adoption is stabilizing into balanced portfolios rather than SaaS-only extremes.
Through real survey data and expert analysis, we’ll break down what these trends mean for IT leaders responsible for VDI, DaaS, security, and infrastructure planning in 2026 and beyond.
In this live session, you will discover:
- Why dissatisfaction with current DaaS/VDI platforms is growing, and what’s causing intent to switch
- How hidden operational costs, especially IT labor, are outweighing licensing concerns
- Why hybrid has become the market’s practical destination, replacing multi-cloud optimism
- How SaaS adoption is maturing into balanced, mixed-application portfolios
- Why security, data sovereignty, and vendor lock-in are now central to cloud EUC decisions
- What IT teams are prioritizing as budgets for cybersecurity, EUC, and cloud continue to rise
