Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "The pricing has always been competitive, and the new SPLA licensing model works great for our business and clients."
  • "I think the new pricing is a little bit high. If the price was lower, we could use it for many more customers. If there was one improvement to be made to this product, it would be a small-business version, at a much lower price point."
  • "Work with the vendor, as this is a fairly new product and they want use cases. Deals can be made."
  • "Comparable performance to Citrix for our use case at a significantly lower cost. Pricing is clear and there are relatively few options or other pricing considerations when compared to similar products. Just be sure not to forget the Microsoft licensing that goes along with a Parallels deployment."
  • "Just compare it to Citrix and you will see the value in it."
  • "Pricing is a little steep."
  • "It justifies the price. In terms of licensing, initially when we got the product it was an unlimited licensing strategy. We knew would grow in the coming years. So initially, we took a plan which had no limit. After a year or so the strategy changed and we were being limited to 105 licenses, that was the minimum... If there was flexibility for increasing the number of licenses that would be great because you never know how much you are going to grow in the next year."
  • "We currently use Parallels side-by-side with an Azure cloud-hosted solution. This may be from a lack of product knowledge on my part, but we still need to work out the most effective way to shut down servers outside of hours, thereby reduce hosting costs. I am not entirely convinced Parallels does this well yet."

    Overview
    Dizzion provides a fully managed end user computing platform that is purpose built to efficiently operate workloads at scale. Services range from virtual desktops and workspaces to a complete application suite delivery. Service offered: • Cloud Delivered Desktop – Windows • Cloud Burst Desktop – Disaster Recovery • Desktop Application Streaming – ThinApp and XenApp The Dizzion Cloud Management Portal provides self-service allowing customers to choose how much they want to control and manage. The portal is an included feature of the Cloud Delivered Desktop offering. Dizzion Cloud Delivered Desktops are targeted towards enterprise organizations who wish to be in full control of where their data resides. A benefit of the Dizzion Cloud Delivered Desktop is the ability to control corporate data that is being used by remote workers, yet presents a liability if stored on that endpoint device. Dizzion users can control data saves, redirecting them to secure corporate storage in the datacenter. The ability to manage desktop upgrades, patching, adds and changes from one central location, eliminates the need to physically address each endpoint. This is a benefit to organizations with remote workers, multiple locations and a limited IT staff. Extending the life of aging equipment by repurposing simply as a virtual desktop viewer, and dramatically shortening the boot times, especially during boot storms are additional benefits of Dizzion Cloud Delivered Desktops.
    ApplicationServer delivers applications, data and virtual desktops from a central location, providing continuous availability, resource-based load-balancing and complete network transparency.
