IвЂ™m not even talking about compiling some code: very disappointing. ThenвЂ¦ 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 thenвЂ¦ Starting up time: disappointing by all means. But I thought: letвЂ™s try it fist so I installed the trial of Fusion 8вЂ¦ This was so disappointing for meвЂ¦ 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 CaptainвЂ¦ I donвЂ™t like this kind of вЂњyou have toвЂќвЂs. IвЂ™ve been a Parallels 9 user and was about to upgrade to VMWare Fusion 8 after reading several reviews. In general, however, I hope youвЂ™ll agree that your specific configuration isnвЂ™t applicable to ~99% of users.

If youвЂ™d like us to conduct future tests on your custom Mac Pro (I say вЂњcustomвЂќ 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 weвЂ™ll be happy to do the additional testing. ThatвЂ™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.ДЈ) 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.Д¤) These products, and our review, are primarily targeted at consumers. YouвЂ™ll find this information on the ironically named вЂњTest Setup & MethodologyвЂќ page.Дў) We submitted our results and methodology to both Parallels and VMware to give each company a chance to respond. Let me clarify for you:ДЎ) The exact models and specifications for the testing hardware are listed in the article, along with the methodology used for the tests.

To see anyВ chart in its full-sized Retina glory, just click or tap on it to load the full image. Some tests required that we cram a lot of data into a single chart, and some of these charts may be difficult to read on smaller or low-resolution screens. You can browse all results in order by using the вЂњNextвЂќ and вЂњPreviousвЂќ buttons below, or you can jump directly to a specific test using the Table of Contents, which is found at the bottom of every page. Our benchmark tests and results are divided into the sections identified below. We therefore ran select CPU- and GPU-focused tests on a 2013 Mac Pro, and we have those numbers available in their own dedicated section later on. But we were also curious about just how well Fusion and Parallels would perform if given access to clearly вЂњhigh-endвЂќ resources. As weвЂ™ll describe in more detail in the next section, all of our tests were performed on 2014 15-inch MacBook Pro, a system that we consider to be in the вЂњmid-to-highвЂќ range of Mac configurations.

WeвЂ™ve therefore run all applicable testsВ in Boot Camp as well, which gives us an idea of how close these options are to eliminating the need for something like Boot Camp altogether, at least for certain tasks.ДЄlso new this year is the addition of a вЂњhigh endвЂќ host for some tests. Part of our goal with this analysis is not to simply determine which virtualization solution is the fastest, we also want to see how they compare to вЂњnativeвЂќ Windows performance on the same hardware.
