Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition

Overall Satisfaction with Parallels Desktop

Parallels solution simplifies the process of getting windows 11 on my Macbook pro! I have recently joined the Microsoft ISV program but to run windows 11 i needed to find a way to use windows 11 on my Macbook pro. I search online and i found Parallels, I was a skeptic at first but then i did some reach and attempted to download it by myself on other reddit user knowledge and NOTHING worked. I went back to Parallels & pulled the trigger. Needless to say I dont even use safari anymore! Microsofts edge provides coupons for every website i visit and if i want to switch back to Mac i just click on the bottom right of the screen to go back to Mac. Its like having two computers on 1 now thanks to Parallels. along with the platform the staff are great additions to their solution! they are extremely supportive as well as knowledgeable in not just their platform but the overall market in the software development industry! I highly recommend their solutions and their employees. I RARELY give 10 thumbs up but i'll give it to this team!
  • Gives me access to Windows 11
  • it's extremely responsive, very fast.
  • user friendly
  • has a great layout
  • overall look feel and use cases are highly recommended by me!
  • Maybe an interactive tutorial video for new users to click along with the video for the video to continue as a teach guide, learning windows was difficult at first!
  • Ability to find it online as the tool i needed to use rather than attempting to download malware to use windows 11 from the web.
  • maybe a built in chatbot for when you're using parallels you can ask questions and assist with tasks in the platform solution.
  • useful tool i use it every day.
  • negative? I mean the learning aspect in transitioning from strictly being a MacBook Pro user to learning Microsoft platform, which I have never used before, but now I am learning it on my own, but there could be a guide and some kind of way because it's like learning to walk again.
  • Other than that, it's working out pretty well for me. I like it and it's definitely worth the money. I mean there's solutions out there that they're charging $1200 a year for that aren't worth five dollars. I have no problem with this platform whatsoever..
