Parallels Named Visionary in 2025 Gartner DaaS Report Again

Parallels, a global leader in virtualization and end-user computing (EUC) solutions, today announced it has been identified as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner^® Magic Quadrant™ for Desktop as a Service (DaaS) for the second consecutive year. Parallels considers this recognition to be an acknowledgement of its continued commitment to delivering flexible, secure, and simple workspace solutions across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.

“Being named a Visionary once again by Gartner is an incredible honor and validates our belief that organizations shouldn’t have to choose between their specific requirements and their budget expectations,” said Michelle Chiantera, CRO at Parallels. “We feel this recognition demonstrates how much we have evolved in terms of our strategy, product innovation, and customer achievements. This placement is also reflected in our strong market response, with our workspace solutions achieving 50% year-over-year revenue growth.”
