Parallels Desktop For Mac Reviews & Product Details

it is quick compared to the other vendors. I like the coherence feature that just plain works. apps are quick and seamless, almost as if they are installed natively on MacOS

the price, but they did give me a discount

needed to run windows apps. after the upgrade to Catalina, Wine was no longer supported, so I needed a solution that was not resource hungry

I like the ability to be able to run Windows programs and apps directly on my MacBook Pro and that I can easily switch between the two operating systems quickly and without having to shut down either system or programs that I am running in them. This allows me to use programs on the Windows OS that are not available with Mac and then integrate the work that Ive done into projects that I am working on my Mac.

I would like there to be a better pricing option on the Parallels program because I only need to use it for specific tasks on certain projects.

I am able to utilize Windows based software and applications that are unavailable for the Mac OS and then incorporate them into projects that I am working on and this has allowed me to expand the services I can offer my clients.

I have a MAc but sometimes I needed to use Windows-specific software, parallels allowed me to do this and so much more!

I don't have anything that I dislike. Always worked well for me.

It allows me to use software that I could not use otherwise since I have a MAc but it is also very useful for other things.

The fact that I could switch between OS and WIndows was amazing. Being able to run my windows based applications while still retaining my OS applications made myself and team extremely more efficient. This tool coupled with Mac allowed us to upgrade our tech stack across the organization.

Not much that I didn't dislike about this product. However, its worth noting that the applications I ran didn't require much power rather they were legacy systems.

Due to the fact that my org specialized in state and federal grants we were required to use quite a few legacy systems. On the other hand our partners were highly tech advanced and required quite a bit of processing power for us. Parrallels solved this problem for us by allowing us to access the systems while helping accelerate the learning curve for a staff whose medium age was mid 50's.

This application is so much more powerful than boot camp. It allowed me to execute applications in internet explorer in record time.

It’s hard to say I disliked anything. Most of the applications I ran weren’t the most ram or power intensive.

Our office is Mac based, but our systems were windows based. Our business deals with state and federal grants. As a result many times We are forced to deal with “antiquated” systems.

I like how easy it is to increase productivity by partitioning my computer. It’s convenient to use the parallel desktop, I get so much more done!

I had a few problems understanding how to use the software at the beginning, but it gets easier once you get used to the tools and options.

I am able to partition my desktop and get more achieved. I can run multiple software applications and programs at once and it helps me organize my programs better.

I love everything about parallels, the ease of use is best. Just being able to run pc programs on my mac are the best you could ask for. I am genuinely happy with this product!

There aren't many things I dislike except maybe the overall price

I realized I dont have to have 2 computers when you have parallels

I couldn't survive without Parallels on my Mac. What we do involves a lot of Mac computers and some Pc and this helps to not have multiples

I truly don't dislike anything, except for sometimes booting up takes a few seconds

Not having to own multiple types of computers!

I love that I can run Parallels on my Mac and and it runs seamlessly and you wouldn't even know that it was running. You can start programs up and not have to worry if you booted under PC/Mac. I love it

I truly can't figure anything I don't like about Parallels. It works amazing!

I use Mac for most of all my work but a few things need to be ran on a PC and this helps it out without having 2 computers!

Of all the VM software I've used, it's been the most intuitive from the start. The graphics are also really good, which makes a huge difference when checking web responsiveness between Mac and Windows browsers.

The only issue I've had was switching between screens and it getting confused with my mouse, but even then I was able to configure that so it didn't happen. I don't have a lot of negative things to report.

I'm currently developing a tool for our communications platform and it requires both Mac and Windows compatibility. I work primarily on a Mac so I need to reference Windows quite a bit in development. It's been a real time saver.
