Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Desktop
Parallels desktop was used by Apple OS users who needed Windows specific applications. It was also used by executives who wanted a Macintosh computer but wanted to solely use Windows OS. The issue was unsupported applications for Mac OS or aesthetic preferences by executives.
- Emulates the entire Windows OS on a Macintosh computer. You can launch the entire Windows OS from your Mac desktop and work entirely in a Windows desktop environment.
- Emulates specific programs if you want to run in Windows mode. With this option you don't have to be in a separate OS but launch single applications with Parallels.
- There were occasions where the system would crash. Typically there would be no reason and a reboot would resolve the issue.
- The applicaiton was inexpensive. The most expensive part is the Windows license. ROI was immediate.
We did not evaluate any other applications.
