"Parrot OS"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Parrot Security OS?

Tools integrations are good, and update from the developers are also timely. Parrot OS is very lightweight and runs amazingly well on legacy hardware with a smaller number of resources. ParrotOS, much like Kali, is also a Debian based distribution of Linux. When I say Debian based, it means that the code repositories adhere to Debian development standards. ParrotOS too comes with its own arsenal of penetration testing and security-related tools. Implementation is not so complicated. Also for security persons its easy to use. I use it on daily basis.

What do you dislike about Parrot Security OS?

Parrot Security OS is free and lightweight linux based operating system that comes with a lot of pre-installed security assessment tools and a decent graphical user interface. Its more stable than some other security operating systems.

It mainly used by penetration testers and people who study hacking.

It can nicely run in less hardware support such as cpu ram etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main issue with parrot is less customers support and community support. Once I've installed it as my main OS and I had to work for days to find a driver to make my speaker work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
