It's easy and really intuitive to use even for new users. I also appreciate that almost any application provides a suitable VMDK disk appliance which you can just click and run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complete fully headless / CLI mode without any graphical user interface is missing yet. Also it's a bit high priced for my use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to setup a virtual machine with Fusion on a Mac, they have spent a lot of time making the process easy and intuitive. They also provide the option to install appliances and free operating systems with just a tap of the mouse! Fusion balances system resources well to allow you to utilize both your Mac system as well as any virtual machine you may be running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside of Fusion is that it kills your battery pretty quickly and can cause your computer to heat up fast. However, I don't believe this behavior is only specific to Fusion as I have experienced the same symptoms with other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working with VMware Fusion has significantly increased my productivity with working in different operating systems. I really like the simple and clean shortcuts to jump to my different workspaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is really nothing that I dislike. Some of the compatibility issues are very minimal, and it seems that all the operating systems I want to install are quick options in Fusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Make using multiple platforms easier than having to load up Windows through Bootcamp Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It take more resources than it should, and Windows doesn't see the proper amount of memory available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I loved how simple it was to jump back and forth between my desktop and my virtual machine. It was easy to work on my projects within my virtual machine, and then jump to my main desktop in order to conduct research. VMWare Fusion also made it simple to run Microsoft Office products in the much simpler Windows version (I run a Mac). I truly believe that, without VMWare Fusion, I would not have been able to pass some of the classes that I used it for.

Learning how to use VMWare Fusion was simple, with their built-in tutorials and online support. I think that this allowed me to use the virtual machine software quickly and efficiently. I'm a student, so I don't have a ton of time to painstakingly learn a new software or version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the virtual machine, on VMWare Fusion, would run slowly. I think that this is attributed to processing power, but it was nonetheless frustrating. The User interface was also a bit shoddy when it came to booting up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use VMware Fusion to host a CentOS VM on my Macbook Pro. I performs very well. I love the ability to take snapshots, share folders, and the native integrations provided by VMware Tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a Mac user and installed VMware Fusion to test out different operating systems and I find it easy to use. Another fairly straightforward product to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When installing an Operating System using the ISO file, there is a restricted interface when selecting types of Operating Systems installed, hence I removed the app from my PC! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use this for work daily. Works as it should and lets me work from home Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were issues with it where I would need to re-install the program for it to work again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Efficient, easy to use and powerful virtualization software for OSX. Very good integration with virtual machines' systems (drag-and-drop support, shared folders, dynamic resolution based on window size, etc.).

Also very good and relatively efficient integration with OSX system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the network configuration is not enough, especially when you try to replicate a certain network structure. But for most of the times it's more than enough.

The snapshot system is OK but it could be better if more than one virtual machine could share a parent snapshot and if it was possible to run a certain snapshot more than once at a time. Other virtualization software allows this sort of features and it would be really nice to see that in a future version of VMWare Fusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
