Examining TSplus Pricing for 2025

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses require efficient and cost-effective solutions for remote desktop access and application delivery. TSplus Remote Access has emerged as a notable alternative to traditional platforms like Citrix, offering a range of features tailored to diverse organizational needs.

Introduction to TSplus Remote Access Pricing

TSplus Remote Access is designed to provide users with remote desktop access and Windows application delivery. It offers various editions to cater to different requirements:

• Desktop Edition: Starting at $180 per server for 3 users, this edition includes remote desktop access, application delivery, and remote printing, with a one-time purchase model.
• Web Mobile Edition: Priced from $250 per server for 3 users, it encompasses all features of the Desktop Edition and adds a web portal and HTML5 client for enhanced accessibility.
• Enterprise Edition: Beginning at $290 per server for 3 users, this edition includes all features of the Web Mobile Edition, along with farm management and gateway functionalities, suitable for larger deployments.

Pricing Considerations

While TSplus's perpetual licensing model may appear cost-effective initially, several factors could impact its overall value proposition:

1. User Limitations: Each edition imposes a cap on the number of concurrent users based upon how many you purchase. For instance, the Desktop Edition comes in packs of 3, 5, 10, 25 or unlimited users. The unlimited users is capped at how many users the server can support and is undefined. Reported inefficiencies in users per server utilizing TSplus would necessitate more servers as your organization grows.
2. Capital Expenditure: The one-time purchase model requires upfront capital investment, which might strain budgets, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises.
3. Additional Licensing Requirements: Deploying TSplus requires the purchase of Remote Desktop Services Client Access Licenses (RDS CALs) from Microsoft, adding to the overall cost. These CAL licenses are by named user and can be extremely expensive. ‍
4. Product Limitations: Certain advanced features available in other solutions might be limited or absent in TSplus, potentially affecting scalability and performance. Or you may have to pay extra for features you want such as an HTML5 client or farm management.

GO-Global: A Cost-Effective Alternative

For organizations seeking a more flexible and scalable solution, GO-Global presents a compelling alternative:

• Subscription-Based Model: GO-Global offers a concurrent subscription licensing model, allowing businesses to treat expenses as operating costs rather than capital expenditures, providing greater budgeting flexibility. Their pricing is also tier based, so the more users you need the more you save. ‍
• No Additional Licenses Required: Unlike some solutions, GO-Global does not necessitate the purchase of additional 3rd party licenses because it has its own proprietary GUI Hosting functionality, multi-session functionality, and protocol. This helps by simplifying deployment and reducing costs. ‍
• High Server Capacity: GO-Global is optimized to support a higher number of concurrent users per server. For example, organizations have reported supporting up to 15,000 users on the same infrastructure that previously supported only 5,000 with other solutions, highlighting its efficiency and scalability.
• Built-In Features: Features such as remote printing, 2FA, HTML5 client, farm management, more are all included in GO-Global. No having to select a more expensive version to get what you need. The one additional add-on is Single Sign On which is a unique feature to GO-Global that allows you to integrate your single sign on provider (eg. Entra, Okta, etc.) for $0.50 per user per month.

Conclusion

While TSplus Remote Access offers an affordable entry point for remote desktop solutions, it's essential to consider the broader implications of user limitations, upfront capital requirements, and potential additional licensing costs. GO-Global's subscription model, elimination of extra licensing needs, and superior server scalability make it a robust and cost-effective alternative for businesses aiming to optimize their remote access infrastructure.
