Parallels Reviews 1,776

It’s great to be able to have another operating system with Mac, for student and PoCs are really useful. And the user experience with configuration of a shared folder or copy & paste features between both machines is great.

I couldn't believe how easy it was to get up and running with the trial. It very quickly proved to me that it was the only real solution for my use case.

Pretty much one touch to get Windows and Linux (e.g. Kali Linux) up and running with very little to configure. With that such a seamless experience, the two week trial was plenty of time to get it tested.

Also, as a bonus, the ability to use Picture in Picture and Coherence mode - it's far ahead of the competition. If you don't know what these are, it's worth it to read up on it.

I have three external monitors, and for me, it is mandatory to be able to open over twenty different windows on all of them (including the one on my MacBook Pro, so four in total). This wouldn't be possible without the coherence mode.

My ERP is an old classic windows form application (I think it was done with Visual Fox Pro) but I wanted to use a Mac. With Parallels I solved the problem.

Perfekt workflow with Paralles on my system. Much better than VM and better compatible with my MAC5,1

The absolute best addition to my MacBook Pro. Seamless transition between IOS and windows expands flexibility to support your business and client as well. The only downside, it dominates available disk space with an unnecessary amount of cache.

I used Parallels for school. We were given VMs created by other programs but they didn't run the best on the Mac. Converting and importing into Parallels just had the best user experience around.

What made my experience great with parallels desktop is the easy to use software to access windows on a Mac. It is great for people who have an Mac so that they can use software not compatible with macs even access those software, such as in my case I had a Mac, but needed a software named Autodesk Inventor 2023 for school, and so via parallels desktop I could easily access that software. I wish there was improvement and I know many people, more likely students, want this which is the price, students studying in high school really can’t afford 129 $ per year, there shouldn’t be a price, or should be a lesser price for students.

I been using Parallels for years at my dental practice to run dental apps only available for Windows. After suffering for some years with the instability of Windows in an PC, and loosing important data, I decided to move to the Mac word and discover Parallels. Best platform to keep Windows stable, run my dental apps and not worry when was the next time it will crash and make me loose data. With every new update of Parallels the app get stronger, better and makes Windows run faster than in a PC. Parallels is the Best of the Best.

Adobe CS6 is working on virtual Sierra and Windows 10 in this last Parallels.

A silky smooth Windows experience.
Couldn't be happier.

Easy to install, works incredibly fast and keeps Mac and Windows in sync automatically. The bonus Parallels toolbox Apps are fantastic too!

Incredibly easy to get up and running. Works great on my M2 Mac mini. Super fast to launch and run Windows 11. Love it.

Excellent program! As a long time Bootcamp user I made the switch to Parallels with my new MAC M2 and I wish I had tired this program years ago. Windows 11 is running stable, there is a one step backup available for the virtual machine and it is very easy to configure.

Windows 11 Pro with TPM enabled just works without fuss. I can run my MS Power BI native which is my primary reason for running Parallels. Games are still a challenge, you can run Minecraft Dungeons quite well but most modern games lag too much to be considered playable. Maybe there should be a Parallels gaming version that places focus just on this?

Parallels made it so very effortless to be able to use Windows 11 ARM on top of my Mac Os system. They continue, through the evidence of long use experience, to improve and hone a wonderful product. Thank you very very much.

Very easy to download and install. Very easy to use as well. Seamlessly works with Mac OS. Thank you

I have chosen Parallels because I have to run Microsoft Project on my MacBook.
In the beginning everything seems alright although I recently receives messages that Parallels will no longer be able to run on MacBook.
This is really confusing.
