I have been using VMware fusion from long time as it helps me to install other operatiing System like Kali, Ubuntu etc. for my study purpose. The best thing about VMware is the screensheet facilities which helps me to return back to previous state if somthing wrong happened. On other thing once you install it you will get the default maximize sceen which you can get in VirtuaBox software. It can be installed easily in any OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use but it's so powerful in case you need to customize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was thinking about price, but they offer you a free-version for non-commercial use. So, there is nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that VMware allows one to install multiple operating systems makes it a worthwhile application. To top it up, it is a cross-platform application, I can use it on MAC, windows, and even Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not easy to install when compared to other virtualization software. Moreso, if you are using the free version especially the one meant for home ore personal, you do not get support, unless you make payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I moved from Parallels to VMware Fusion because it had more features and a significant cost savings for the company. I also found it to be much easier to deploy to our macOS fleet than Parallels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I found to be a bit trickier to set up in VMware Fusion is the CPU/RAM/SSD settings. Parallels had some handy templates when setting up a VM for the first time. VMware was missing that which wasn't ideal but I could still do it (just a learning curve and they may have fixed this by now). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
