We performed a comparison between Parallels Desktop and vCenter Configuration Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."Parallels Desktop integrates seamlessly with macOS. It works better than VMware on Apple operating systems."
"I like how, with Parallels, you can either boot into Mac or Windows to get better control over the resources of the laptops since you're sharing the resources in dual mode."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the virtual machine management across different hosts, located in different areas."
"Configuration Manager simplifies management. Cloning via live migration is a useful feature."
"The tool's scalability is good and easy, especially when compared to Microsoft Hyper-V."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"The market share of VMware is huge. It is not even necessary to prove the capabilities attached to the product."
"The management of vCenter Configuration Manager can support the UI interface. It helps in monitoring, logging alert and performance, forecasting the system to provide services in the environment."
"The solution is stable and we haven't run into issues with bugs or glitches."
"The most valuable feature of vCenter Configuration Manager is the ease of provisioning."
"The biggest challenge is compatibility between VMware and Parallels because the two systems are incompatible. It can be challenging if you are switching between Windows and Mac. I recommend sticking with one product because there isn't good compatibility between the different products."
"There may have been some issues with device drivers on my Mac. Similarly, there are some issues with transferring data from Parallels to the Mac."
"The dashboards in vCenter Configuration Manager are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We would like to improve the UI interface and customer experience in vCenter Configuration Manager. We need a speed-based system, which is methodology checked. The migration functions, from one hardware to another and the nodes must be a partner of four nodes, which acts as a weakness. They should have advanced training and course material for vCenter solutions."
"The technical support is not as responsive as it could be. They are slow to respond to our issues with a resolution. There should be online chat support added."
"Not very user friendly, too many configurations."
"The VxRail configuration is very complicated and a little bit too difficult to guess what the final product is going to be."
"When vCenter is in a Microsoft environment, there is a lot of licensing involved, where we face some difficulties."
"The functions are not running in HTML5."
"If the solution could manage on-premises and cloud resources with the help of one tool, it would be an extra agent."
