Awards and Reviews

Best App for Running Windows - Parallels, Parallels IP Holding GmbH

Parallels was the first virtualization app for Intel-based Macs. This popular app has won this category for three years in a row.

While the voters didn't tell us why they prefer Parallels, one reason may be the ease it offers in running Windows and OS X applications side-by-side, without having to reboot your Mac. Parallels is also a performance leader in the Mac virtualization market.

Parallels started out with a slight lead in early voting, and just kept on going. By the end, it was the clear winner.

The final poll totals for the Best App for Running Windows are:

Parallels: 60%
VMware Fusion: 37%
Oracle VirtualBox: 1%

Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager is a Best of TechEd 2014 Winner!

Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager enables companies to completely manage Macintosh computers. Parallels didn't settle on just a few Mac manageability features, but instead developed a product that takes full advantage of every function of Configuration Manager.
