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.

I started using Fusion 3.0 under corporate license to run ad-hoc tests before release candidate build; my job was to perform the very final check to ensure each product meets regional specific requirements and satisfy customization requests. One product project could contain a few dozen builds; therefore, it would require extra hardware resources and time-consuming tasks if running the tests on physical machines. Fusion's presence saved me from preparing the testing environment, switching to another snapshot only one click away. This long-life application is still popularly available and is free for non commercial use, perfect for a personal blogger, NPO contributor, and goodwill-related use. This current version is 12 and is very stable and light. Anyone can access settings easily and configure a virtual machine without an advanced tech background. Perfect for all levels.

It's hard for me to dislike this app; I would only reckon it's a bit inconvenient when its release launched around the same date as the macOS; it'd be confusing to identify which one caused/triggered an incident of the crash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the seamless integration of VMWare into Mac. I like how you can have both the host and guest running concurrently. I have used a few other similar products, but I liked VMWare the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fusion allows me to run almost any software on my Mac and also access my VMWare ESXi Servers from the same program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fusion is fairly well integrated into MacOS but Parallels is better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm a fan of MacOSX but it has its drawbacks like not all software being compatible with MacOSX so there are only two options for us, using a Virtual Machine with Windows on it or using another PC to use the programs that are not compatible with MacOSX. Fusion just makes it easier to run a Virtual Machine (or several) so any program not available in MacOSX can be run without needing to be really good with computers.

The default settings are just bad unless you download an already made Virtual Machine, having 2GB on RAM and 1 core in 2021 is just too little, almost every computer(especially a Mac one) has at least 8GB of RAM and it's a lot more common to have 16GB or 32GB and 4 or more processors so even if it works out of the box you are creating a slow and clunky user experience but as soon as you change those settings everything works really well so it's just a little downfall.

Mac is great and has advantages over Windows in some areas but by itself, it's not enough to be a work laptop, some programs that I need are only available on Windows, luckily for me VMware Fusion is like running a native Windows installation 95% of the time. I can run programs that I need like Visio without requiring another PC or needing to use Bootcamp, I have it set up so when I open the VM it goes to my secondary monitor and it is like working with 2 computers but with a shared mouse and keyboard, the integration is really good compared to other VM solutions.

Anything that relies on hardware is a big no go, running BitLocker on Fusion works but keeps my laptop like a big grill since it relies on hardware acceleration that for obvious reasons isn't available in a Virtual Machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Macbooks are fantastic devices in almost every area except price and software support, with VMware Fusion you can run almost any Windows or Linux program easily without needing to do a reboot, I need to use Visio for my work and sadly is a Windows only program so with Fusion I can run it without needing another laptop or needing to reboot my machine to run another OS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

98% of the time everything works as expected, but 2% of the time it just won't work or do a different thing under a VM than if run natively. Since I do have another lapto with Windows installed I just switch devices if that happens, it is not often but the time it would take to fix the issue is probably a lot longer than just booting up and installing a software in another laptop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can emulate network devices, windows and linux machines without issues as long as you have cpu, ram and storage available. It's especially good when dealing with interactions between devices when dedicated network cards are available for each Operating system available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This might be a fault of the software itself or an intentional blocking of some hardware vendors, but there are some apps that aren't possible to run in a VM and the drivers won't run even when using a dedicated network card so a separate device is needed to access some applications

The cpu usage can get the computer quite hot, even when just idling in the VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
