It great as you can use PC software on a amc rather than having to have two computers. you can alos have the mac running at the same time to swtich between things eg photoshop- NED graphics.
its slow and i think you have to use half of your mac memory to run the programme so it rreally slows down both interfaces. it also takesges to update and restart or close down the programme.
can use NED graphics for drisigning as this programme does not operate on a mac interface. makes design much easier for cleanign artworks etc
Easy configuration controls and forward compatibility (I'm still on Parallels 12 with Windows 10). Scenario 3 worked for me upgrading my 32-bit Win 7 VM: https://www.parallels.com/blogs/install-windows-10-parallels-desktop
Don't completely trust how secure it is, especially if not isolated from Mac OS.
I need to run some obscure PC-only code and Parallels lets me do that (and only that) while quarantining Windows from the rest of my activities under Mac OSX.
Parallels used to be my go-to way to run a couple of Windows apps on an occasional basis. I made the mistake of "upgrading" Parallels when I got an M1-based Mac and it orphaned all of my VMs with no way to recover them or their data. Parallels lost its place in my Dock and I am not even sure why I bother to have it on my Mac any longer.
It no longer works on my M1-based Mac. Actually, it "works," in that it loads, it just can no longer access any of the VMs I had or provide any useful service to me.
Parallels no longer solves a problem for me, unless that problem is that I have too much money and too much free disk space. It does not benefit me at all any longer.
The program was easy to install but didn't work well on my Macbook.
1) Parallles requires a lot of space and ate up even more space on my Macbook. Made my computer extremely slow and lagging. 2) Parallels takes over my Macbook. I found it hard to "share" between Windows and Mac overall 3) When I requested for a refund from them, they didn't want to return the unused portion. never had this kind of problem before.
I ended up buying a second computer that runs on Windows. And still need to pay for my unused Parallels program.
none... literally loved it at first, but after 2 weeks, I begged IT to give me VM back since it either would not let me connect or it wouldn't slide to my secondary screen (being a video editor,having video on my secondary screen- my biggest screen, was kind of important)
we use this specifically for iNews and most of us either can no longer slide it to our secondary screens or log in... it worked at first, but after 2 weeks, the problems began
moved back to virtual machine which has its own problems, but at least we can access the one program we need to put a newscast together
