VMware Fusion Pro Valuable Features

The primary advantage of VMware Fusion Pro is its simplicity in creating custom virtual machines. It allows quick construction and provides connectivity to full VMware server systems, enabling remote management. It facilitates downloading images from main VMware servers for local testing. The ability to construct a virtual environment on my laptop meets my needs, even ones I wasn't aware of.

The most important feature of VMware Fusion is that it helps me rapidly launch a new OS. I can simulate the network from my machine, which allows us to test labs using VMware Fusion.

The solution's snapshot feature best captures the machine's current state. Also, its cloning feature allows us to create clones of a single virtual machine. Both features help us with machine backup.

The most value that it provides is that it is versatile. It is easy to use.

I haven't run into anything that has caused me any problems. For the time being, it runs pretty well.

Updates are timely.

The whole point of it is to run Windows VMs on a Mac. This is the most valuable feature. There is snapshotting, but we don't really use that.

The Pro version allows me to actually attach to the Windows ESXi infrastructure at the backend, and I'm able to create a session that I can attach to the VMware hooks at the backend, so one is running a VM, and the whole operating system is running on the actual Mac. The other one is literally a frontend to the VMs that are running in the infrastructure at the backend. These are the two main features I use.
