I like that once installed, I can choose the amount of power dedicated to my Parallels desktop. I can also disable file sharing between the two environments. The Windows environment runs smoothly. And I can have more than 1 Windows environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Parallels to run the full Windows application of apps that don't have a Mac app, or don't have a full-featured Mac app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love Coherence Mode. Being able to strip away/hide the Windows interface (mainly the Desktop) and use the Windows app just like any other app on my mack is critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite part about Parallels is convergence mode. I can run Windows-specific software without leaving iOS or having to reboot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I recently switched from PC to Mac at work because every laptop I was using was junk after a while. Although around 95%+ of my work can be enjoyably conducted on a mac, there are a few tools I utilize for lead generation purposes that were built for PC. Parallels creates a dual environment where I can quickly, seamlessly toggle between mac and pc and run the pc lead gen program I need to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wanted to provide access to an internal application to outside contractors without full access to the VPN, and parallels was perfect for this task. Extremely easy to set up and working flawlessly out of the box. Out existing IT infrastructure provider managed to integrate it with their processes quite successfully, and after that project, we continued to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have multiple applications that we run through parallels, It helps being able to attach these applications and then assigned a group to these applications and place users into these groups in order to use these applications. Its very nice not having to give everyone access to all apps and keeps it nice and collected in one section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We resorted to using Parallels for .NET Development on the MacBook Pro's that we had in laying around in our vault. They had somewhat smaller hard drives so the idea of Bootcamp scared most of the guys and we opted for using Parallels. I would not encourage the usage of Parallels as permissions when working with IIS and .NET 4.5 development can get tricky and without experienced .NET developers around who have strong understandings of the Windows systems themselves this can get pretty messy over time especially if you accidentally tweak or work on project files with the wrong apps.

Easy to install, the fact that I can open Windows apps in MacOS without switching to Windows was pretty cool and awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
