When I was hired at my current company everyone used Virtualbox for their Linux test environments. Unfortunately, part of my job was building/rebuilding custom ISOs, which required long days of tweak->rebuild ISO->rebuild VM.

After I changed from job-installed Virtualbox to the Parallels license I already had, my workflow sped up dramatically. It was easily half the time to go through an install cycle as before. The performance increase was absolutely massive. Since then we've only had more and more issues with Virtualbox that makes it worth replacing at a relatively high cost.
