Windows on Mac
What do you like best about the product?
Windows starts in seconds, seamless integration, fast, quick and no need to renounce to Windows application when using a Mac.
The interface is really simple to use, advanced settings are easily available but they are normally invisible.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes you need to open two different Windows machines on your Mac which already has quite a lot of applications open. This can slow down or even block everything. Usually a solution is to kill other applications that use a lot of memory, like Google Chrome
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Mac for everything here, but we are forced to use Windows for our BI suite, Parallel is the best shot to have a virtual machine with Windows on Mac.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, you won't go back.
Incredible way to run virtual machines on a mac.
What do you like best about the product?
It's integration with the Mac. Sharing directories, copy and paste etc. Is automatic and requires no knowledge or configuring.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is consuming lots of resources from my old (2008) macbook which males it slow to run at some ocasions. I have found little or no information on how to optimize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I run all my company applications on a mac environment, nut the process management / document control system (R2Docuo) runs only on a windos environment. Paralles allows me to run it.
Great for Mac
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy being able to use Windows on my Mac. It allows me to work on projects that require Visual Studio without the need to use a VM on Azure.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is the amount of resources running Windows tends to use. I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15" w/16 GB of RAM and it runs high.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly that I can work on code in Windows while still being able to use my Mac. Half of the team is on Mac and the other half is on Windows, but we all still need to work in the same environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solve issues with high CPU usage on MacBook Pros.
Best Visualization tool for MAC users.
What do you like best about the product?
It is highly recommended this application if you are a developer or even if you just need to make virtual machines in you MAC. It is very fast and the virtualization in windows is very very smooth. It share desktops between your host and the guest.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is only for MAC and they take su much time making updates when Apple releases a new operating system. I had a lot of problems when Apple update to Yosemite,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had the need to work on a virtual machine in my IMac. So, I decided to use parallels instead of another virtualization manager. Because the compatibility of the hardware from the host to the guest was better than other virtualization managers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to create virtual machines in iMacs, this is the best option for you.
A test environment, when you cannot afford a test environment
What do you like best about the product?
As a systems person I appreciate how quickly I can mock up a test environment. It's a test environment totally self contained on my mac. It works great for testing upgrades, major changes, and evaluating products.
It has also done a great job providing me a windows desktop. The integration, like shared home folders, has made it very simple to operate in a hybrid environment. I use a three year old, dual core macbook pro, and I have plenty of power to run a few guests OS's, though it will run through battery pretty quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
The way they force an upgrade, when the new mac OS version is released. Because of this I anticipate needing to upgrade at least once every couple of years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Continue using windows only applications, while owning a mac.
2. Deploy test VM's in an isolated environment, separate from our production VMWare infrastructure.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a quality product that requires very little hassle. It doesn't have a lot of configurability, but can provide all the customary virtual settings, for example running networking in bridging mode, or sharing host IP. It's not free, but it's a quality product for a small price.
LifeSaver for Macs
What do you like best about the product?
How easily it is to get a VM up on a Mac and the versatility with deploying a variety of operating systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with Windows 8 in coherence mode sometimes is wonky and it is hard to get an application to come to the forefront.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Many of our Macs won't run enterprise system software such as DameWare, and some macros that microsoft office applications need to use.
Hey Corona, Where's Siri?

Paralles can't run the standard Windows OS installer.

Parallel Desktops help me if my clients have difficulty to operate MacOs which is difficult for some people. By installing Parallel Desktops I can easily switch OS between Maverick and Windows
Recommendations to others considering the product:
even it's 80-100 dollar per year, it worth to buy/subscribe
Best way to Run windows on a Mac
What do you like best about the product?
Coherence Mode is fantastic, the fact that I can run Windows and Mac applications side by side is a great experience. The power saving features in parallels mean that my Macbook battery is not really effected by running windows in a VM.
The windows installation is great, installs quickly and requires little know how, anyone could do it!

The best virtualization software for Mac OS X
What do you like best 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.
