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.

Veeam Backup and Replication is the common product for backing up virtual machines.
I have worked with VMware Fusion Pro as a virtual desktop infrastructure.
It is an on-premises solution for VMware Fusion Pro. For on-premises VMware Fusion Pro, it is the legacy approach; it is straightforward, but because the on-premises has limited reliability or limited redundancy.
I spent a maximum of two days on deployment, setup, and configuration. Most of the deployments we had were around one to two days, full days with a downtime.

View full review »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.
Fusion is the leading product for workstation knowledge.
