The performance is absolutely amazing for this type of software

I've worked with many different virtual machine products over the years, and this is the easiest to set up, has the best integration features, and the performance is great

The performance is good enough that I never need Bootcamp (tried it once, didn't perform much better, and I had to reboot to load another OS).

Wow, the integration of this product, and the seamless way it makes Windows 10 run on my MacBook Pro is ridiculous.

Mac's are great and reliable and this is a great way to run Windows for those little jobs you need in a reliable way that matches your Mac.

For me, Parallels is a great way to run any program of my choice on my Mac.

I can't imagine an easier and better way than using Parallels.

I'm also doing some web development and occasionally want to test my work against native Windows browsers, like Edge

And as great as the software works, it will suck your system bone dry of storage, even to the point where it renders itself unusable

I am NOT a PC guy but this works extremely well on my Macintosh computer

After several frustrating days without use of Windows on my Mac, which is not acceptable in my job, and several failed attempts at contacting Parallels support, I tried installing the Parallels Toolbox

External Thunderbolt display is not supported and is causing a problem report almost every time, when it's connected or disconnected (answer from Parallels support: KB article 5136).

so unless I wanted to haul two laptops around this was a better option.

For me, the expense of this software is worth the amount of time is saves me…there are free options, but the benefit of the Virtual Machines over Boot Camp is that it will allow you to run Windows as an additional program (without restarting your computer) and keep OS X running the entire time

It's by far the best of the virtualization options available for the Mac.

One of the best features I think is the coherence mode that allowed me to be in the native mac looking screen but brought the VM that I was running into it.

I highly recommend Parallels as a virtualization solution – great features, user interface, capability, and (perhaps most importantly) active and regular updates.

Coherence mode is an amazing feature that lets you run applications inside a virtual machine but you interact with them as if they were running along side of native Mac apps!From time to time, I will load up some of the other products available on the market today (both commercial and open source), but they always find their way to the recycle bin.

Have used for Win 10 down to Win98 as well as Mac OSX VMs.

If you are a serious Windows User and prefer Mac hardware, bootcamp is probably the best for you

With this software, you no longer have to worry about whether or not your Mac will be compatible with Windows dominated programs/applications

Excellent user interface & strongest USB compatibility of like SW packages Only improvement I can foresee is tool to translate images between Hyper-V & VMware -in both directions (save out to/translate & Convert from images of these other SW packs) this would cap the products superior status

I tried doing the same with Fusion and it drove me nuts with the effect it had on my OS.I am a proud user of Parallels Desktop for Mac and have seen their positive growth first hand

Parallels has a clean, attractive, and intuitive user interface while at the same time offers complete control over anything you might wish to control

My primary software I use in Parallels coherence mode (it is like running the applications natively on the Mac) is Revit 2017 and CorelDraw X8

With this software, you no longer have to worry about whether or not your Mac will be compatible with Windows dominated programs/applications

this product works as described and allows you to leverage any Windows applications you still need to run once you have move to a Mac to make your computing life better...

I have found the Parallels Knowledge Base to be very helpful (much better than Microsoft's often rather obscure and technical entries in its KB), and their customer support people to be very responsive.

Go buy version 13 or find another product that does not intentionally mislead people.

Superb software, work wonderfully and with great support.

Superb software, work wonderfully and with great support.

If, like me, you really want to move to Mac but find that some of your critical software either doesn't run on Mac or doesn't run well on Mac, then this is a way to make that move

Parallels wants more $$ just to keep their software compatible.

it doesnt tell me again i feel like your invading my privacy you guys used to be so nice now your support is terrible and when my hard drive with parallels 9 crashed you wouldnt give me another key I do not recommend this software I have moved on to other options when parallels 12 is cut from

I highly recommend this version for anyone looking to run Windows on their Mac.

The performance is even better then the previous version and the Tools are just great

The new version of Parallels Desktop supports me at work and brings the two worlds together

Now in January 2017, there is bow a new version and my program won't even work now without buying the updated version (held hostage, it sucks!)

Then I needed to turn off automatic sharing of my Mac printers with my virtual machine (or else the virtual machine will keep trying to install bogus versions of those printers that won't work because of the WiFi issue).
