It just took so much much much longer time then it did in Parallels 9! So now I just upgrade to Parallels 11: I love it! Boot-up time, Visual Studio performance, … I love it. I’m not even talking about compiling some code: very disappointing. Then… opening a Visual Studio project: disappointing. I first thought: OK, maybe VMWare tools have to be installed first but no: even after rebooting several times: boot-up time kept on being disappointing. But then… Starting up time: disappointing by all means.

But I thought: let’s try it fist so I installed the trial of Fusion 8… This was so disappointing for me… First I imported the existing Parallels virtual machine and converted it which went really smooth. Especially with their Parallels to VMWare upgrade offering. So I was holding my credit card ready in my hand, ready to pay for Fusion 8.

Also because I did not like it I had to pay to upgrade my Parallels license if I wanted to upgrade Mac OS to OS X El Captain… I don’t like this kind of “you have to”‘s. I’ve been a Parallels 9 user and was about to upgrade to VMWare Fusion 8 after reading several reviews. In general, however, I hope you’ll agree that your specific configuration isn’t applicable to ~99% of users.

If you’d like us to conduct future tests on your custom Mac Pro (I say “custom” because the Mac Pro you describe in your other comment - 2 x 6-core hyperthreaded 3.33GHz - is not a configuration Apple ever shipped), then please send it to us and we’ll be happy to do the additional testing.

That’s why we used both a MacBook Pro and mid-level Mac Pro in the tests. Neither company claimed that our testing procedure or the configuration of our virtual machines were incorrect or unfair.ģ) Other than providing licenses for both Fusion 8 and Parallels Desktop 11 for our tests, TekRevue was not remunerated by either company in any way, nor were the tests conducted or guided by anyone outside of TekRevue.Ĥ) These products, and our review, are primarily targeted at consumers. You’ll find this information on the ironically named “Test Setup & Methodology” page.Ģ) We submitted our results and methodology to both Parallels and VMware to give each company a chance to respond. Let me clarify for you:ġ) The exact models and specifications for the testing hardware are listed in the article, along with the methodology used for the tests. Those interested in disk performance can check out our dedicated File Transfer testing on page 10. For this reason, we feel that the Passmark PerformanceTest disk benchmark is unreliable for testing purposes, and we’ve therefore omitted it from our result chart. It should be noted that Passmark PerformanceTest also includes a disk test, but we have excluded it from these charts due to an issue that incorrectly deflates disk performance in Boot Camp and our observation of wild inconsistencies in the disk numbers reported for our virtual machines with, for example, one test reporting a result five times higher than a subsequent test, even when all efforts were made to disable or minimize OS caching that could interfere with the test. In the case of the Passmark 3D graphics test, the Fusion 8 VM wouldn’t enable anti-aliasing when the test called for it, and so Passmark downgraded Fusion’s score, which is the main cause of the difference. Unlike some benchmarks that end immediately if the system being tested fails or cannot complete a certain part of the benchmark, the Passmark test will allow the benchmark process to continue and merely penalize the score of the system in the failed or incomplete test. Parallels 11 and Fusion 8 achieve similar scores in all tests except 3D graphics, and this gap is the primary factor in Parallels’ overall score advantage. VirtualBox is therefore omitted from the chart below. Note that our VirtualBox VM would not initiate ether of the Passmark graphics tests, and crashed during the CPU test, leaving us with little in the way of meaningful results.
