Parallels
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy having a PC & Mac all in one computer
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features do not work well/have glitches (example: sometimes the CD drive & USB drives will not work on the platform that I need)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
About 4 years ago we began incorporating Mac computers into our office. I was not familiar with Mac and many of my programs were PC based. Our IT department installed Parallels so I could have both. This has made the transition very easy for me.
Parallels on Mac for Data Analysis Software

I can switch between my mac desktop and PC desktop with ease. I don't have to restart my computer everytime I need to use my windows software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some software is not compatible with parallels
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to use a PC on a mac without having to buy a separate computer. I can do PC work remotely on my laptop and I don't have to carry a second laptop or have a desktop elsewhere.
Best app to experience Windows in Mac
What do you like best about the product?
Easy of use to setup and run windows os in Mac. Support for Windows out of the box. Running both Mac and Windows on Parallels is faster and not memory hogging like VirtualBox
What do you dislike about the product?
Express installation doesn't work. Have to use manual step to install Windows 10. Free upgrades could help very helpful for those who bought it in the last six months of purchase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had to install Windows OS to use Visual Studio 2015 and looked at different software VirtualBox, VMWare, Bootcamp and Parallels. I finally decided to use Parallels because of easy of use and run smoothly along Mac.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use Virtualisation software compared to other apps.
Parallels Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing is that I can run windows while I'm using my OSX. I like how well is it integrated to the main system, like copying files, open files from OSX with programs on the virtual windows. It just makes my workflow much simplier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only problem I can find is when the cursors stuck in the parallels windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I basically use it to run CAD modelling programs. This was the only field where I couln't find any alternative to use in OSX. But the Parallels Desktop just solved this problem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best option if you want to use OSX without compromises.
Mosaic Power Parallels
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can access tools from a central desktop. I personally use a Mac but we require Internet Explorer for a few of our applications. I am able to access tools that are only operable on IE. I also like that everybody on my work team can access the tools from the same desktop.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that the appearance is a likely grainy. I am not sure why. Also, I get a 'snapshot' message all the time when I personally have not uploaded anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use a Mac and I'm able to use products and services that are only operable on Internet Explorer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think it can be difficult to use in that the appearance is grainy. Also, when I try to download programs to my Mac, the default is to download to the Parallels environment, and that gets confusing.
Best Solution for seamless integration of Windows Products on Mac
What do you like best about the product?
Coherence - Beautiful integration but not without glitches. Can run Windows programs seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
When Windows goes into sleep mode, or your mac goes into sleep mode, any of the connected network drives will automatically get disconnected.
Also, when you freeze a state, if you haven't shut down certain programs they will cause problems when you try to unfreeze the state exactly as before.
Overall, these are small glitches with easy workarounds when you know to expect them.

Overall, these are small glitches with easy workarounds when you know to expect them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are still a few programs out there that haven't been ported to the Mac and it is those that I need. Also, I use a right-to-left language on the Office Suite, which has only recently been implemented (this year) in Mac. Slowly, but surely, all the major programs are porting over to Mac. However, Microsoft Access is not yet here. As well as a few other programs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have only one or two programs that you need Windows for or you are developing for multiple platforms then Parallels is an awesome solution. If, however, you do a large portion of your work on Windows then having a dedicated Windows computer will probably be more efficient even though their service is seamless. It's still a bit slower (especially in graphic intensive programs like AutoCad)
Probably still the best solution for running Windows on Mac.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use
Relatively stable
Wide range of OS supported

What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a resource hog at times
Poor 3D performance compared to other solutions
Poor 3D performance compared to other solutions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Legacy systems and certain Windows only programs on Mac system
Great for MacBook to Split Test Windows
What do you like best about the product?
I have a MacBook so I love that Parallels is non-invasive on memory and I do not need to always reboot my computer in order to see how something looks like on Windows operating system. This allows me to seamlessly switch between even Windows 7, Windows 10, and more to see how our website looks on other platforms, and other operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little slower because you are essentially splitting up your RAM. You can't necessarily do too much either because lower processing power.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Greatly increases efficiency and allows our team to be versatile. We greatly enjoyed Apple products and so Parallels was a perfect product for us and allowed us to not have to invest in a new computer for example.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do bootcamp AND get Parallels. If you need something intensive, then bootcamp and hop on that partition. If otherwise, you can just use Parallels.
Windows on a Mac!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can run multiple operating systems under my mac. Works well with Docker as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the annoying ads that come up when they have a new version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This allows me as a developer to test different operating systems and browsers. .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Turn off the annoying ads and only upgrade when you need to.
