Your needs map to cost control, streamlined operations, standard identity & access, and reliable delivery for everyday apps/desktops. That service profile aligns best with Parallels RAS—you don’t require Citrix-specific extras like HDX-optimized VoIP, GPU rendering, or deep RBAC.

Recommendation

Adopt Parallels RAS to reduce licensing spend and admin overhead while keeping SSO/MFA through your IdP. Parallels’ concurrent licensing and wizard-based management help lower TCO and trim weekly service hours—without compromising user experience for standard workloads.

What you will gain

  • Cost & Licensing Optimization: Concurrent licensing, right-sizing seats
  • Operational Simplification: Wizard-based admin, faster image & pool changes
  • Identity & Access: SSO/MFA via your IdP (AD/Entra)
  • Everyday Workspace Delivery: Smooth Windows apps & desktops for task/knowledge workers

Next steps

  1. Pilot 20–50 seats to validate user experience and admin simplicity.
  2. Model per-user vs. concurrent to quantify real savings.
  3. Track IT hours saved during routine changes and updates.
  4. Plan migration & integrations (AD/Entra + M365), then validate performance under load.
  5. If GPU or advanced voice/video surfaces later, retain a small Citrix slice as needed—otherwise, Parallels covers the baseline.

Your environment is Citrix-centric—and for good reason. You need services like granular RBAC/delegated admin, secure delivery to unmanaged devices (clipboard/USB controls, watermarking), and performance-sensitive workloads (HDX-optimized VoIP, GPU/vGPU for 3D). These are classic Citrix strengths.

Recommendation

Keep Citrix where it counts; optimize the footprint.
Retain Citrix for specialized users who truly require HDX, vGPU, and advanced session controls. Right-size licenses and editions, standardize policies, and segment users so only those cohorts remain on Citrix.

For broader task/knowledge workers, adopt a hybrid model: Citrix where it’s essential, Parallels RAS for the rest. This mix lowers TCO while preserving performance and security where they matter most.

Next Steps

  1. Segment users by need (HDX/vGPU, unmanaged-device controls, general productivity).
  2. Right-size Citrix (licenses/editions, reclaim idle, standardize policies).
  3. Benchmark cost models (per-user vs. concurrent where applicable, infra + ops).
  4. Pilot RAS for task workers (template-based provisioning, SSO/MFA, thin-client support).
  5. Phase the rollout to reduce risk and capture early savings.
