  • Eliminated the need to maintain separate windows hardware as well as multiple OSes for testing.
  • Saved a lot of hours needing to configure VM instances to serve specific needs (e.g. can create an image and use it as an image template for similar projects going forward).

If you need to run Windows apps on a Mac, VMware Fusion is great!

  • This had a positive impact because I did not have to purchase an additional computer (Windows PC) just to run a couple of Windows-only apps.
  • This is a time-saver because it is easy to switch back and forth between the Windows and Mac environments on one computer.

  • VMWare Fusion has had a positive impact insofar as it has mitigated our need to purchase Windows laptops to be able to run Windows applications (as we use MacBook Pro laptops as our primary development environments).
  • It has also saved countless hours in environment configuration by allowing us to configure an environment once in a virtual machine and then save it as a disk image.
