Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Desktop
Parallels Desktop is used in our organization to allow Mac users to run Windows-only applications.
To support Internet Explorer 11 websites, we need to take into consideration the development and testing/validation of how our websites behave to customers when they have an Internet Explorer browser. This is the main use case that we use.
The other use case is to support some old Asp.net applications that needs certain versions of Windows, and with a majority of developers being Mac users, is the only option to do that.

- Easy to use: even on first interaction, users feel that is really intuitive how can be used
- Good support
- Fast and reliable comparing to other tools
- For our company use case, the only thing that can suggest to improve on Parallels is to improve a little bit more memory consumption - when lots of processes are running on the host machine, it can be noticed that memory consumption is a little bit higher than what is desired, which is understandable, since is virtualization
- Avoid extra costs: majority of users have a Mac, so if they needed to dod something that is Windows related, it will require to users have an extra computer to do that tasks, and this have a lot of costs
- Developers have more concerns how websites behaves on Windows only browsers, which increased the satisfaction of users
Parallels Desktop is faster when compared to other solutions, assuming that is for Mac computers only, is the fastest option and easiest to run
