Has anyone tried VMWare Fusion 10 by any chance? We have a few Macs here running this version (on Mojave), but there won't be a budget to upgrade to 11 or 12 before the end of the year.

Fusion 10 does not work for me. Virtual engines open with a black screen. There are suggested workarounds posted on the interwebs, none were helpful. I tried the trial version of v11, with the same results.
Parallels v15 seems to be okay, however cannot open and convert VMWare Fusion virtual engines.

Paste is working. Good thing, too, Paste is my favorite clipboard manager.

Pathfinder is still in the non-working column for me. I cannot even launch it, I get the rainbow wheel of death. I’d love to use it, but it’s dead to me (at least for now, it is).
Replying to myself to say that RC Meetings appears to be working well on the latest beta.
Hm, but v11 is reported to work in the first posting of this thread? To be clear, I'm asking about running Fusion 10 on Catalina, not Catalina VMs on Fusion.
V11 on Catalina host does work, but with issues (and workarounds) that you are aware of (black screen in Windows guest). Catalina VMs are another can of worms.
My guess is that V10 will never completely work on a Catalina host and that there will be a V11 update (around the time of Catalina release) to fix existing issues.
Thanks, I've been discussing with CocoaTech. I am trying to run PF8.6b6, is that the GM candidate? CocoaTech has not advised me to change it (yet).

I had no luck whatsoever with VMWare Fusion, I even tried the 11.1.1 trial. Threads on the interwebs advise on some workarounds, none of which worked for me. Obviously, YMMV.
I finally gave up and tried Parallels v15, which (eventually) worked well. I qualified that with "eventually" because, at first, Parallels would barf when trying to open and convert my VMWare Fusion virtual machine (Win 10). I worked with their tech support, made a couple of minor changes, and then voila... it opened and converted. Admittedly, it crashed a few times after the first boot, but I worked around those issues on my own and after a relatively short amount of time screwing around with it, I am happy with Parallels v15.
Pathfinder is still a problem (as I've mentioned elsewhere). I also had problems with Duet, but their tech team (along with a beta they gave me access to) resolved it. I am delighted to have Duet back up and running so quickly!
Ring Central Meetings has been working well. Excel, Word, and Outlook are all working. As things stand now, the only big concern I have remaining (at least so far) is with Pathfinder.
Issue: After each scan, a window appears saying "An error occurred while registering to the database" with a button labeled Quit. Resolution: System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Full Disk Access and enable ScanSnap Home.

Yeah... it’s still not working for me. It appears it wants to install on the Read-only SYstem partition. I downloaded the beta and followed their directions several times. It seems to be working a though maybe i’ll Create a restore for the system partition or primary partition and see what it’s collected.
Update: Banktivity v7.3.1 (out today) works under Catalina Beta 7. It is the new version of Banktivity that makes the difference, as v7.3 still didn't work under Beta 7.
I am still having an issue with Google File Stream under Catalina Beta 7.
Whenever I select the Google Drive mounted disk in the Locations section of the sidebar of the Finder, I get the following error message “Google Drive can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.". The Google Drive volume on the Desktop is working fine.
I tried to uninstall/reinstall the app but it didn't fix the problem.
Has anybody facing that issue found a solution?

Yeah all these are broken for me. Spotify crashes on launch, Chrome opens but can never connect to the internet, Photoshop opens but no windows/tools appear.
