Parallels Desktop For Mac Pricing Overview

It's seem less integration with the host machine. The virtual machine doesn't even feel like a virtual machine. It feels like an independent operating system running on actual hardware than on a virtual layer.

I'm not an everyday user of the software so the price it bit high for someone like me.

The ability to run windows on Apple silicon.

it is quick compared to the other vendors. I like the coherence feature that just plain works. apps are quick and seamless, almost as if they are installed natively on MacOS

the price, but they did give me a discount

needed to run windows apps. after the upgrade to Catalina, Wine was no longer supported, so I needed a solution that was not resource hungry

I love how easy and simple it is to use. It's virtually painless to get it up and running and works near flawlessly! I have no overall need to use another computer or windows laptop to get my work done as it can run windows programs in MacOs.

The price has been increasing and now the previous price for a permanent license is now the price for a 1-year subscription. It would also be nice to have a little more flexibility with the Virtual RAM and Virtual CPUs in the standard edition now that Macs in general are becoming more powerful.

Parallels has absolutley removed the necessity to require a windows PC for work. It has made my computing needs and traveling far easier by having the ability to use both Mac and Windows in a single device. I can now use any type of program I could possibly want on my Macbook Pro!

I love everything about parallels, the ease of use is best. Just being able to run pc programs on my mac are the best you could ask for. I am genuinely happy with this product!

There aren't many things I dislike except maybe the overall price

I realized I dont have to have 2 computers when you have parallels

Parallels enables for a speedy and smooth switch between the Windows and Mac platforms while keeping them separate and without distractions. Quick file sharing via a shared folder rather than drag and drop, the location of the files not changing even after editing. It enables remote access to the computer desktop. The Windows platform can be left paused in the background which saves time when starting up apps.

A limitation when it come to gaming is that Parallels only uses the allocated hardware resources. And I find the limitation of 8GB ram getting in the way. The in-built DirectX support enables Windows-based gaming but overall it takes a toll on battery life.

If you do a lot of work on both Windows and macOS, Parallels is not a steep investment. It's decently priced. It enables Windows apps to be run as if they were native Mac apps, and being able to pause Windows in the background saves time when starting up apps.

I recently tried out Parallels Desktop for Mac, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for me. Setting it up was a breeze, and even for someone like me who isn't the most tech-savvy, the whole process was surprisingly easy. Once I got it running, I was genuinely impressed by how well it handled all those Windows applications alongside my usual Mac stuff – no lag or hiccups whatsoever. The coolest part? The integration is so seamless that I can run Windows apps right alongside my Mac ones, almost like they're all part of the same family. The interface is user-friendly, offering a bunch of viewing options to suit how you like to work. Plus, knowing that they keep it up to date and have a support team ready to help if needed gives me real peace of mind. Long story short, if you're like me and need both Windows and Mac in your life, Parallels Desktop is the way to go – it's made things a whole lot smoother and more enjoyable.

Parallels Desktop for Mac has genuinely impressed me, and it's challenging to find substantial dislikes.

Parallels Desktop for Mac is like having a tech wizard right on my computer, solving the headache of running Windows stuff on my beloved Mac. You know that feeling of juggling between different devices or rebooting just to use a Windows app? Well, Parallels kicked that hassle to the curb. Now, I can seamlessly dance between macOS and Windows without missing a beat. It's been a game-changer, especially for work where I need both worlds. No more choosing sides - it's like having the best of both tech universes in one happy place. Hats off to Parallels for making my computer life a whole lot smoother!

Occassionally, as an avid Mac user, I run into needing access to Windows applications. I love how it runs in realtime and is easy to flip back and forth almost like a virtual machine.

Honestly, not much to dislike. Usually I might complain about the price, but at $99 CAD for a new license, you can't go wrong. Featurewise, the program does more than I could ever need.

Parallels helps me access legacy software that simply does not have a Mac version available. Although many software developers are now creating for both platforms, Parallels helps me solve this occassional problem that I run into.

I love the fact that I can use a pc on my Mac to do scripting but mainly work from my Mac

I don’t like the the cost of the product when there are similar free versions now out there

I use it so that I can script in both operating systems
