Developers at Aaltra maximize efficiency with Parallels Desktop

Altra is a Belgian software company and we focus on creating applications for IoT. We can control hardware with applications that we build such as a cooker hood, smart bike, smart home systems or anything that is physical. We are with 30 people in total and we have 18 developers that create the software and they all use MacBook Pros because we sometimes have to create applications for iOS as well. We use parallel software because sometimes Our developers need a Windows environment, because we have a legacy .NET framework application that we still have to maintain. In the past, we've also looked at VMware Fusion. However, we found that to be a lot less performant than Parallels, especially on Apple Silicon chips. Later, we also checked out Windows 365. However, we found that to be five times more expensive than Parallels is. It's also reassuring that Parallels is the only Microsoft-certified solution in this field. find that Parallels is very easy to install. When onboarding a new developer we just give them the license key and they can install it on their own, no further instructions are required. Performance is really great, it just feels like you're working on a native Windows machine. Additionally you get the full Windows experience. Moreover using the shared folder feature we can just use our macOS documents inside of Windows. We recommend Parallels Desktop for a developer if you occasionally need a Windows environment on a Mac because it's really easy to install, it's high performance and it's also very affordable.
