Here is what verified users are saying about CorelDRAW, Parallels, and MindManager on the G2 platform:

“What I like the most about CorelDRAW is its easy-to-use user interface. Unlike other complex vector software like adobe illustrator, it is very easy to use and clean.” Freelance Graphic Designer.

“I have a MacBook so I love that Parallels is non-invasive on memory and I do not need to always reboot my computer in order to see how something looks like on Windows operating system. This allows me to seamlessly switch between even Windows 7, Windows 10, and more to see how our Website looks on other platforms, and other operating systems.” User in Health, Wellness and Fitness.

“Parallels allows me to run Windows programs on a Mac computer within an office that is predominantly Windows-based. With Parallels I do not have to power down and boot into Windows like I would with Bootcamp which saves me valuable time and allows me to multitask between Windows and Mac.” Marketing Coordinator.

“MindManager is one of the best tools I have used to visualize information in mind maps and flowcharts. I have used this tool to manage projects, organize information, and for brainstorming ideas when strategizing around programs. This is incredibly helpful for “virtual whiteboard” when brainstorming, managing and planning projects/programs and for strategic planning.” Senior Program Manager.
