Chose VMware Workstation Pro
VMware Workstation does have a price unlike VirtualBox, that is free. But, Workstation Pro makes up for it by how many features comes with it. We are also able to take VM's in our vSphere Production environment and spin it up on and isolated laptop for sandbox testing within …
VMware Workstation Pro provides the best management console as compared to Oracle Virtual Box and the compatibility between migration is very convenient with VMware Workstation Pro. I have tried Oracle VB and it is very complex in creating and managing Virtual machines whereas, …
VMware ESXi is more enterprise based whereas VMware Workstation offers capabilities at a lower cost and smaller scale. VMware Workstation Pro is also user friendly and easy to install. It can be utilized on a regular desktop system as the name implies. It helps with also …
The best and easy to adjust all the functions for easy production of the appropriate and quality services via the Cloud and the deployment of the product can easily be done with all users even those with little basic knowledge on VMware Workstation Pro similar platforms. With …
The main difference I see when I compare is in the performance. VMWare Workstation Pro hands down are better than the ones out in the market right now. It doesn't slow down on extensive use as well.
VirtualBox - a popular open-source virtualization platform with support for many popular OS's bhyve - Also open-source program that works with Windows and Linux.
It is easy to use. It makes easy to integration and/or migration between ESXi servers. It is easy to use VM template and images without conversion. Because of we have been using VMware Vcenter and Hypervisors it is practical to use VMware Workstation Pro for zero compatibility …
I was a VirtualBox user a few years ago, but the combination of VMware vCenter Converter and VMware Workstation Pro makes this suite a perfect solution for enterprise environments to test all the changes your infrastructure needs before any real deployment.
Oracle VM VirtualBox is a great solution if you search for a zero cost solution. But if you can afford it, VMware Workstation Pro is a more professional solution
VMware Workstation Player, although free, doesn't meet our needs, and Hyper-V had too many problems when we tried it out. We need the ability to run multiple VM's at the same time, which VMware Workstation Player doesn't support. When testing out Hyper-V, we didn't get very …
This version of the HyperVisor is similar to other systems, but like most, it has its own twist on things and how it works. One of the essential functions is the tabbed approach to listing VM's which allows multiple servers to be running and allowing access to each using …
VirtualBox has done a lot of catching up with VMware in the past years, so if you don't need the advanced network configuration or 3D support it's a good alternative, but VMware seems to still be faster, and support for USB devices is a lot more robust. The UI is also more …
We briefly tested Virtualbox but found that Workstation had better performance, had a proven track record and the features that we were looking for. Workstation was also easier to install at the time we tested both. Workstation is also easier to configure, and the documentation …
We didn't compare Workstation to other alternatives and we haven't used any other products like it. I guess you could use Workstation in conjunction with ESX and without vCenter, but I'm not sure and we have always had vCenter. We chose Workstations because it was a known tool …
While I'm not very familiar with other offerings, I think Workstation is a tier one solution. It's top of the line. While there are free options out there, none are as robust and easy to use as VMware offering. I don't believe you can find a solution that does the same thing as …
VMware Workstation is among the pioneers of virtual machines, every option and every feature is well thought out and implemented, there is no image that it cannot run. It doesn't require that much setup, unlike similar software.
By far better than Oracle Virtual Box. If you want to create a similar environment for your team members working around the globe in order to work on the same project, this is the best solution available, or else you can go for some online editors like on Cloud9 and have the …
I have used just about every Virtual machine software on the market from Oracle Virtualbox, VMware Fusion, KVM for Linux, Microsoft Hyper-v, and the Google virtual machine software, and even though I love Virtualbox none of them come close to the ease of use and the quality of …
VirtualBox is not bad for free. It might even be slightly better than VMware Player which is also free. But VMware Workstation offers so much more for under $249 which makes the purchase decision simple - it's worth every penny. Especially since newer versions make it easy to …
Much better. Ease of integration and driver management was way better than the other free product we tested. The full features of VMware Workstation, in my opinion blow any competition out of the water for the purposes we use it for. Yes, there are free solutions out there …
I personally haven't used any of these other tools, but one thing they have over Workstation is price. They're free and Workstation is not. However, If you're used to working in a VMware environment, then using VMware Workstation will come as second nature to you. Also, being …
Vmware workstation is always better than Virtualbox in features. It lets you manage all the virtual machines like Google Chrome, you can extend the virtual machine up to 2 monitors, which is by far my most liked feature.
