![]() ![]() VMware has an expansive presence across enterprise organizations, and the industry leader’s prices bend towards medium-size business to enterprise organization budgets. Graphics memory of 8GB and support for 3D graphics with DX11 and OpenGL 4.1.Support for over 200 operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.Extensive device support for retina display, USBs, vTPM, and virtual NVMe devices.File sharing, mirrored folders, and different view modes for host-guest integration.Security mechanisms like UEFI secure boot support, snapshots, and a GPU sandbox.Mac specific tools for host and guest support, one-click SSH, and BootCamp. ![]() Create new virtual machines with up to 128GB RAM and 32 CPU.Customers can choose between Fusion Player and Fusion Pro to run Linux, Windows, containers, and Kubernetes clusters without rebooting. Designed to support home and enterprise IT professionals, VMware Fusion is a robust virtualization tool with a stack of features for administrators. In summary i am a happy user of fusion but also grateful to feel the heat on competition.VMware Fusion is the virtualization giant’s line of desktop hypervisors for Mac devices. Unavail side features is not a problem for me frustration on a not-so-good quality product is my concern - i don't mean parallel since i never tried. didn't try bluetooth myself but it reported working and i take it at its face value. My wife on the other hand simply wants to use very few windows apps that either not avail on mac or we do not plan to double invest and usb devices (webcam and external disk, lexmark printer that doesn't have mac driver) all worked so far. both have been constantly topics in this forum with great support, i've observed. I don't use bootcamp partition and not a fan of unity. VMs being able to transfer between platforms also means a lot. all worked perfect in fusion for me, except multiple snapshot manager which i can live without for a while. I am a developer and i use both windows and linux for programming, occasionally trials on solaris. I have never used parallel and have no intention of trying because fusion on mac meets/exceeds my needs. My advice is that if you like stability, reliability, and the general "it works" feature then go with VMWare, assuming it meets you minimum functional needs. For others, Parallels may have a feature, that even in partial form, allows them to accomplish a task that simply can't be completed in VMWare. VMWare on the other hand has fewer features, but the features they have generally are implemented more completely, exhibit higher quality, and just plain work.įor me VMWare is the easy choice because they aren't missing any features that I can't live without. The net-net of this is that Parallels generally has more features but they are generally less then fully baked and fully tested. VMWare implemented Unity to treat each windows app as a single logic OSX app including little details like drop shading. Essentially they masked out the background and made all windows application act as 1 logical OSX application. Parallels brought coherence to market first, but it was (and still is) half baked. I can think of no better example of this than Coherence/Unity. ![]() VMWare on the other hand seems to place a much, much greater emphasis on quality, even if it is at the expense of having less features than Parallels. ![]() They frequently release under tested software as GA, when it fact it would be beta by most companies standards at best. Unfortunately their execution leaves a good bit to be desired. Generally speaking Parallel's has the "right" idea about how to do a proper end user focused virtualization solution for OSX. I've now been using VMWare for a few months. I used every version of parallels starting with their first public beta a year ago. ![]()
