What do you like best about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

For a lot of free or outdated MacOS programs, MacOS X Mountain Lion is the highest system that you can upgrade an iMac or MacBook to in order for the software to be compatible. A lot of users who use DJ software prefer to use Mountain Lion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

The interface is old compared to the current MacOS versions. The graphics, icons and preinstalled software are all dated. Trying to locate backwards compatible software like Google or Firefox to download and install is virtually impossible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apple OS X Mountain Lion:

ONLY use if necessary for older software that is not compatible with anything higher than OS X. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apple OS X Mountain Lion solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a lot of clients who have older software that will only work and can be installed on macOS X Mountain Lion such as graphic designers and DJs. In order to install macOS X onto their devices, I have to use terminal to backdate the system date and time in order to trick the device into allowing the installation of old software. Plus, the software can no longer be downloaded from macOS download installer and must be installed from an external Flash Drive. This process, although time consuming, is very rewarding once it is successfully done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

It made things run faster for me. The system felt that it was smoother and better RAM managment. The Battery life had also improved for me. I got an extra 30 minutes to an hour when using my computer. The size it takes up on the hard drive was improved, too therefore saving space for my laptop. And of course, it being free update makes it great, more features without havbing to pay more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

It was a big download for me, and it made no improvements to SSD use or drive platter speeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apple OS X Mountain Lion:

Have a test system just in case and back up all your data. As with any OS update like OSX has, it can break your software, and having a copy before an update will make sure that you can go back in case anything goes wrong. Being an OS update, it does play with system files, so make sure you have them backed up and restore the system. It can take a while to complete, so do it overnight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apple OS X Mountain Lion solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting the newest security updates and code to run the most modern apps on OSX. It improved the use of my laptop by giving me more run time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

Previously I used to work with Windows where a restart is must every 2-3 days, but with mac I have no more to worry about restarts anymore. Memory management is perfect. Ux, security, features, ease of use is just perfect.

For a developer this OS is very nice to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

Nothing as of now, I am still exploring this wonderful OS.

While moving from windows to mac os, it has some learning curve but yes that is expected when we move to new things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apple OS X Mountain Lion solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping me manage my tasks efficiently.

I can open lots of applications at once, as a developer i need to switch between few running applications and it is managing the memory perfectly making sure everything is running fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

One of my favorite things about Apple OS X Mountain Lion is the dictation feature. As someone who works in healthcare and is required to create several notes every day, dictating my notes and having them immediately transcribed is a godsend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

Sometimes when I have multiple applications and/or windows open, I do notice that my computer's functionality as a whole performs slower than usual. Is this concern directly attributed to Mountain Lion, or computer systems as a whole, I don't know, but it is something I do notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apple OS X Mountain Lion:

None at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apple OS X Mountain Lion solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dictation is super, super helpful with my HIPAA-compliant documentation work. At the same time, the new Safari makes it very easy for me to access my note-taking and caseload tracking online system. I have the site saved easily as a shortcut and am able to access it whenever and wherever. I love that it saves as a shortcut on my other devices automatically too!

What do you like best about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

I really like this operating system because it works very well on low-developed apple products with a low ram and still the device is still very fluid. Samsung, for example, has an operating system that is a little incomplete, so much so that when you are using a Samsung device, it starts to give some crashes and visible bugs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apple OS X Mountain Lion?

I don't like a single thing about apple where its system is very restricted where some parts are good, like an apple product it's very rare to have or get some kind of virus, but on the downside it's too closed to do activities such as downloading apps from outside the app store, which is quite different from android that already lets you do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apple OS X Mountain Lion:

I recommend that you always update the software that always comes with news. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apple OS X Mountain Lion solving and how is that benefiting you?

The benefits I received were that apple has a very light and very well developed system, without taking away the fact of the screen and shortcuts that apples products offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
