Venturing just a tad OT here, but I feel obliged to share the good news 
Mark Wieder shared with me a few years ago:  VirtualBox

https://www.virtualbox.org/

Free as in both beer and freedom, in my experience it also outperforms 
Parallels rather dramatically in the time it takes to restore a session, 
and has pretty much all the modern features we've come to expect from 
such tools:

- Your choice of single-window or interleaved modes

- Wide range of hardware access and emulation options

- Support for snapshots

- Clipboard and shared folder integration

- Very easy to use

Thank you Mr. Wieder for turning me on that gem!
