Detailed Review
TSplus is a French alternative to Citrix and Microsoft's remote desktop services licensing: it publishes Windows applications and desktops to remote users through a browser or a thin client, from a server you own, on a perpetual licence.
What Makes TSplus Stand Out
TSplus solves a different problem from the rest of this list. It is not remote support of someone's PC; it is delivering a line-of-business Windows application to staff who are elsewhere — and it does that at a fraction of what Citrix costs, with a licence you buy once rather than rent.
What the Software Does
Application and desktop publishing over HTML5 in the browser or a native client, a customisable web portal, load balancing across servers, plus separate modules for two-factor authentication, ransomware protection and server monitoring.
European Jurisdiction and Security
TSplus is headquartered in Montpellier, France. For a product that sits between staff and the company's core Windows applications, a European vendor on a perpetual licence is a considerably smaller dependency than a US subscription platform in the same position.
Remote access software is a category where jurisdiction and security are the same question. Whoever operates the relay can, in principle, see which machines connect to which — and the client itself has the rights of the person sitting at the keyboard. That is a good reason to know which legal system the vendor answers to.
Pricing
Perpetual licences per server by concurrent user count, with optional annual support and updates. That model is the main commercial argument against Citrix and Parallels RAS.
TSplus vs the US Alternatives
Against Citrix Virtual Apps, Microsoft RDS CALs, Parallels RAS, the European case is partly price — this category is notorious for annual increases — and partly control: several of these can run without the vendor's cloud in the path at all, which no US subscription platform offers as standard.
Who Should Use TSplus
TSplus suits companies that need to deliver Windows applications to remote or branch staff without a Citrix-scale budget.
