"Parrot Security OS is better than Kali Linux in many ways."
4/5
What do you like best about Parrot Security OS?

As the name implies, parrot security OS is a Security OS. The main thing I love about it is the simplistic GUI and light to run. It runs in a system with low specifications and heats the system way less than Kali Linux. It has even more tools than Kali Linux and is mainly focused for defensive than offensive. I love to work in Command Line Interface and being Linux (Debian distro like Kali Linux) it perfectly fits the criteria and even has root user access. The pre-installed Tor browser impressed me the most. It never crashed in mid of nowhere. Even my parents who are unfamiliar to pen-testing and security can use it securely due to its advanced firewall and other built in defensive security measures. It don't only have tools for Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing but also comes with a lot of powerful languages' compilers and interpreters and IDEs. That came in handy as I am learning python and didn't need to install and configure it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parrot Security OS?

There are very few things I don't like about it. But playing games is very difficult as you don't find a way to install them. Many of the applications such as Ms. Word and many other applications equally necessary for a students are not available for Parrot Security OS which made me re-install windows. Configuring and using dedicated GPUs was almost impossible letting me down with neural network and brute-force that are more powerful using GPUs. The community for parrot security OS isn't big that left me alone with some issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best linux distribution as per Security and Privacy!"
4/5
What do you like best about Parrot Security OS?

Having used Parrot OS which is a Linux distribution based on Debian for quite some time now, I really like the features it provides to a user for security/privacy experiments. Had switched from Kali Linux to this. It comes with a number of tools pre-installed which is great, the theme that has been provided makes you have the feel of what you're doing. GUI is pretty great and user friendly and most importantly, it does not need a very high ranged GPU. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parrot Security OS?

Some tools are must to be installed which are quite heavy, which could be a dislike. It is great for security or penetration testing experiments but despite that there are various other distributions which take on this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Linux distro for pentesting in 2020"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Parrot Security OS?

It's a Debian based os, so it is very similar to ubuntu. All the software that is required for pentesting, comes preinstalled, so you don't have to consider installing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parrot Security OS?

There's nothing to dislike. although I personally do not like the design of it. But I guess that is not an issue and it varies person to person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Good And High security OS !"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Parrot Security OS?

Almost all of the tools from Kali Linux,but on a much more stable and user friendly base and with more current versions of kernel non-pentest software. Also, snapd is installed by default, giving you access to software from the Snap Store.

Like Kali, chances are extremely high that your networking hardware will work out of the box (critical for wireless on a MacBook).

Polished look and feel, easy install processing.

I like that it has already all the security software pre-installed and that it is configured to start safely. I pretty much don't have to set up anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Parrot Security OS?

I like it all. I can't say anything bad about it Even in a VM, it's amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
