It’s a fantastic platform for creating new applications, engineering cloud servers, and checking end-to-end processes on a Mac.įusion can be used as a popular platform by IT professionals to remove the need to switch virtual machines between Apple computers. VMware provides unrestricted versatility, agility, and efficiency for today’s businesses.įusion, according to the Palo Alto, California-based business, is the ultimate method for creating the next big thing in technology. It has also won the admiration of its peers, having received more than 50 awards over the years. Throughout its long history, the company has served millions of customers, which is a real feather in its hat. It's the best way to get both opposing camps views and information on the products as far as I can see.VMware, the company behind this advanced hypervisor line, has been a leader in the virtualization space for over 15 years. I've decided to post this on both the VMWare and Parallels forums. (or make corrections, for example i'm unsure of 64bit support in Parallels)
VMWARE FUSION OR PARALLELS SOFTWARE
If I have missed any features or disadvantages of either VM software please let me know so I can add them to the above. However, i'd rather not have two VM software solutions on my Mac probably taking up resources when not even running. In the grand scheme of things I could buy both, since currently Fusion is essentially £20 and not major money.
\* Cannot run an OS X VM in Parallels (can't Parallels talk to Apple about allowing OS X to run in a VM in Parallels Desktop? I would also consider this an instant purchase feature) \* No support for more than one processor \* No AMD64/x86-64 support (I could be wrong on this, there is mention of 64bit support in the "future" version of 3.0 but no actual mention of this support anywhere I can find) \* Parallels Snapshots sounds awfully familiar to "Snapshot Manager" in VMWare Workstation, if this is a similar feature then it's definitely purchase worthy
\* Dedicated app written for OS X only (possibly lower memory/resource usage) \* DirectX 9 (Direct3D, no mention of OpenGL so unsure) \* Cannot run an OS X virtual machine in Fusion (can't VMWare talk to Apple about allowing OS X to run in a VM in Fusion? I would also consider this an instant purchase feature) \* Because it's cross platform there is probably some level of middleware/abstraction with VMWare Workstation/Fusion which means it might take up slightly more memory/resources than a written for OS X app only
VMWARE FUSION OR PARALLELS PC
\* Some overhead when not even running (this has always been a personal gripe of mine with the pc version, vmware adds lots of stuff running in the background when VMWare isn't even running) \* A pause button, where's the fantastic snapshot manager from workstation? \* Lack of snapshot manager (this is what I consider THE killer feature of any VM software, implement this and it's instant purchase) \* DirectX 8.1 support (Where's DirectX 9? And will I have to buy a new version of Fusion if DX9 support is added?) \* Excellent support for non-windows VM's \* $40 if I pre-order now (£20, yay weak Dollar) \* VMWare (years of VM experience so probably better support for more archs) \* DirectX 8.1 support (OpenGL and Direct3D 8.1)
VMWARE FUSION OR PARALLELS TRIAL
(i'll probably stick the trial on my Macbook when I get home tonight) I have yet to try Parallels, it's something I keep meaning to do.
VMWARE FUSION OR PARALLELS PRO
Parallels has DirectX 9 support whilst Fusion only has 8.1, however I won't be able to take advantage of that (realistically) until I get my Macbook Pro sometime this year (Currently have a Macbook).īecause Fusion has now become available to pre-order it's awfully tempting as I have one of the betas installed and do have a personal preference for VMWare from the pc version.
