The best virtualization software for Mac OS X
What do you like best about the product?
Parallels is the best virtualization software for Mac users. It has a great interface, very easy to use and very user friendly. It has a great feature that is download the ISO for some operating systems, that's great for new users who don't know where to download the operating system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of drag and drop functionality for files is what I dislike the most. Also, sometimes and in some operating systems, it's hard to install Parallels Tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Parallels Desktop to test different operating systems and to use Windows applications only on my Mac.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Download the trial version first so you can be sure that Parallels Desktop is the right product for you.

Heavy parallels desktop user -- I love the experience
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to use windows programs on my mac, while being able to seamlessly switch between the Mac OS and Windows OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, the program is buggy and I need to restart. This is a rare occurrence, however. I am overall very pleased with the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I love Apple products, I consider my self an "Apple guy." However, I am also a business guy and the fact of the matter is Microsoft Office (and other business applications) are much better suited for the Windows operating systems. By being able to run Windows OS on my Mac, I get the best of both worlds, at the same time. I love it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Installation at times can be tricky. When I had issues, I tried performing google searches to figure out what was wrong. I spent hours trying to troubleshoot the issue. I ultimately called Parallels tech support and they were so helpful. I would recommend that people just go ahead and call if they have issues.
Also, some of the shortcuts are not set up great in the Windows environment (for example, it makes more sense for the command button to act as the control key). I would recommend that users make modifications to the shortcuts early on to what feels right to them, instead of just accepting the defaults.

Using some softwares that run only on Windows on a Mac machine

Get this if you are considering to use a Windows VM. If you are not sure about the software, try the trial version.
Ultimate experience with windows platform on top of OsX
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility mainly offered by this product helps me to decide on each and every feature of my remote machine. Starting from ram, storage space to key combination. I even can change the shortcuts of copy paste from ctrl+c+v to cmd+c+v using this. Thus it gives me complete environment to work on windows while leveraging the power of mac. It also allows running a windows app directly inside mac osx.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime it crashes or didn't respond as per setting/configuration. Specially the graphics related setting somehow gets disturbed. I remember when setting resolution of remote (window) machine to a particular resolution (don't remember the exact but I guess its 1600 x something), the mouse stops working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do all my .NET development projects using this virtual machine only. This enables me to leverage the power of mac and allows me to use the windows platform without restarting my system. I haven't tried installing any os other than windows but I am sure that it would offer proper isolation for all the os. I found that allmy window apps are running in a way that it has been installed on mac itself. So being a developer practically I can run visual studio on my mac.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Anyone who are somehow bounded to windows or any other os can use this software to run multiple os without restarting the system. I specifically use it on my mac which gives tight integration on mac and every app of my remote machine behaves like its installed on my mac only.
