Overall Satisfaction with Oracle VM VirtualBox
Oracle VirtualBox is a great addition to my organization's software collection, as it gives us the ability to make use of other software available, such as Genie Motion, by running them directly on the virtual environment. It is so simple to do this using VirtualBox, as the user interface gives the user the ability to change most of the parameters involved.
- Oracle VirtualBox has guides for optimum virtual machine performance, but does not limit the user to using them.
- VirtualBox is fast to setup and simple to use
- The user interface gives users the ability to change a wide range of the machines parameters before starting the Virtual Machine
- In some computers, for the Virtual Machine to work one must allow virtualization through the bios
- VirtualBox settings, such as sound drivers, are not available
- To use some drivers one must install guest OS features, which is an addon
- The initial capital invested in this software was very minimal and so it was easy to recover the amounts.
- With use of the software, we are able to use virtual machines and use different operating systems, like for example mac OS, for design without buying the expensive hardware
- The overall investment cost has been met in less than a year
It has always been a simple task to choose between both these software, and we were able to choose oracle virtual box as opposed to choosing VMware Workstation for the simple aspect of pricing. Acquiring Oracle VirtualBox is way simpler than paying for VMware software to use at the office.
