Parallels Access adds Android, iPhone, business remote-desktop access in new release<article>
<section class="page">
<p>One of the better-known remote-desktop clients for the iPad, Parallels Access, has expanded into the iPhone and Android spaces with Parallels Access 2.0, including special access controls for businesses, too.</p><p>Parallels Access 2.0 is now available in the Apple iTunes App Store and on Google Play with a two-week free trial. Subscriptions cost $20 for one year or $35 for two years, the company said. That allows users to access up to five remote computers from an unlimited number of iOS and Android devices.</p><p>The problem that Parallels faced last August, when
it launched Parallels Access 1.0, is the same one it faces now: a crowded field of competitors. Additional IT controls—known as Parallels Access for Business—may be a welcome feature. But a number of competitors already provide roughly the same capabilities.
GoToMyPC,
LogMeIn,
TeamViewer HD, and
SplashTop Remote Desktop all boast Android compatibility, although with differing feature sets and pricing models.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2363559/parallels-access-adds-android-iphone-business-access-in-next-gen-release.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
