> It's actually pretty damning for Fusion that an hobbyist project can punch high enough to "compete" with professional software.
Except that it doesn't.
Last time I've tried to integrate it to the testing system of my
company it didn't support snapshots, CLI interface couldn't be used
through SSH without the GUI subsystem working, and sometimes UTM
displayed crypting errors during VM startups.
Personally I use UTM at least once a week, and when it works then it
works OK, but saying that it matches a commercial product in terms of
functionality means that either someone hasn't really used UTM or
Fusion, or has distorted imagination what should be required of a
software product that should be used in a commercial setting.
If you need a CLI you should be able to just directly use Qemu instead, as UTM is just a frontend for it.
For my needs, UTM is actually superior to Fusion because it supports emulation of other architectures as well as virtualization. This is really handy on Apple Silicon.
