An Enterprise Browser that extends the Parallels workspace, not another silo to manage
From the same team that built Parallels RAS and Parallels Secure Workspace, Parallels Browser brings Chromium-based managed browsing into the broader Parallels workspace stack. For organizations already running Parallels for VDI, app delivery, or secure workspace, the browser plugs into the existing identity, policy, and reporting plane — no separate console, no parallel security architecture. It's the Enterprise Browser for IT teams who already trust Parallels.
Parallels (an Alludo company) extended its workspace heritage with Parallels Browser to compete in the Enterprise Browser category. Built on Chromium, it delivers the core Enterprise Browser feature set — managed Chromium endpoint, copy/paste and download policy, watermarking, application boundaries, and full session audit — but with native integration into Parallels Secure Workspace and Parallels RAS. The pitch is consolidation: instead of running an Enterprise Browser as a parallel tool, Parallels customers get browser policy as another lever in the workspace they already manage. Pricing tends to land below Island and Prisma Access Browser, particularly when bundled with existing Parallels seats.
Deployment model: Managed Chromium browser (Win, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS); workspace bundle option. Pricing model: Annual subscription per user; bundle with Parallels Secure Workspace / RAS. Typical price range: $40–$110/user/year (bundle pricing significantly lower). Pricing is negotiable at volume — Compare Select benchmarks quotes against real transacted deals before you sign.
One management console covers Parallels RAS sessions, Secure Workspace policy, and Parallels Browser controls — no separate tooling.
Block copy, paste, screenshot, print, download, and upload at the DOM layer — including watermarking with user identity and timestamp.
Lock specific SaaS apps (Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Workday) to Parallels Browser so users can't access them from a personal Chrome.
Native SAML/OIDC SSO, MFA, and device posture; integrates with Entra ID, Okta, and Ping out of the box.
Like Parallels RAS, Parallels Browser can be licensed by concurrent session — substantial savings for shift workers and call centers.
Native multi-tenant architecture lets MSPs deliver managed browser policy across many client environments from one pane.
| Alternative | How it compares |
|---|---|
| Island Enterprise Browser | Island is the category leader with deepest analyst recognition. Parallels Browser wins on price, MSP multi-tenancy, and integration with the broader Parallels workspace. |
| Palo Alto Prisma Access Browser | Prisma Access Browser is the right call for Palo Alto SASE shops. Parallels Browser is the right call for Parallels workspace shops. |
| Menlo Security Secure Enterprise Browser | Menlo's isolation cloud is industry-leading. Parallels Browser is a better fit when the priority is integrated workspace policy at mid-market pricing. |
It's the natural extension. Browser policy lives in the same console as your RAS sessions, identity is shared, and bundled licensing typically reduces total spend. Many RAS customers add the browser specifically to handle BYOD and contractor scenarios that don't justify full RAS sessions.
Parallels Browser is a strong choice if you're price-sensitive, mid-market, MSP-led, or already a Parallels shop. Island and Prisma have stronger analyst placement at the high-enterprise end. Run head-to-head pilots — Compare Select will help structure them.
Yes — that's a primary use case. The managed browser endpoint installs on personal Windows, Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS devices and enforces policy without MDM, MAM, or VDI requirements.
Absolutely. Parallels Browser handles last-mile actions inside the browser DOM that proxies can't see, while your SWG continues handling network-level enforcement. The two are complementary, not competitive.
