Propalms V5 Review

Friday, 26 January 2007 by Michel Roth

Wilco van Bragt has written a review of a product called Propalms V5. The history of this product goes back to the time that there were just a few players on the SBC market. One of these products was called Canaveral. Canaveral was bought by Tarantella. This company already had an equivalent for this kind of products for the UNIX environment and renamed the product to Tarantella Global Desktop. Not long after this acquisition of Canaveral Tarantella it selves was bought by Sun. Sun did not do bought Tarantella for the Windows Terminal Server product and sold it after a few months to Propalms.

"If you have experiences with the former Canaveral or Tarantella product you will notice that the basis of the product is still based on those products. The interface is not changed much and also not many new features are introduced. But because the product was already a good product it still can compete with the other products (but the competitors are at least at the same level now). Propalms did a nice job by adding the Uniprint universal printing solution (as a separate add-on) to the product. Also a plus is the own monitoring options and reporting functionally."
