Overall Satisfaction with Oracle VM VirtualBox
VirtualBox is being used by developers in our company to simulate environments different from their own for testing and day to day work.
- VirtualBox is very good at running both Windows and Linux environments.
- VirtualBox makes it very easy and straightforward to configure a system to mimic specific hardware scenarios.
- Simulating a Mac environment is somewhat challenging.
- VirtualBox uses a fair amount of memory so local hardware requirements are higher than normally required.
- The positive impact VirtualBox has had for our business is to allow developers to use whatever tools they prefer regardless of their local environment.
- Another positive impact is providing a way for a tester to QA our products in a range of environment before deployment.
