Overall Satisfaction with Oracle VM VirtualBox

As an Admin IT I use VirtualBox to test a lot of things. Whether it be for a windows machine or a linux machine, it gets used a lot. It allows me to test several things in a virtual setting instead of our actual machines. This way if anything goes wrong it isn't messing with our systems.

Pros

  • Can test software in a virtual setting
  • Storage can be changed dynamically
  • USB ports and ethernet can be used

Cons

  • Can be difficult to set up for first timers
  • Can be slow at tiems
  • We have been able to test software without having to change any of our actual machines. It has been better to crash virtual box instead of a regular machine
  • It has saved money since it is free

Do you think Oracle VirtualBox delivers good value for the price?

Did Oracle VirtualBox live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Oracle VirtualBox go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Oracle VirtualBox again?

Yes

In the IT world there are several times were software or other things need to be tested and virtual box gives users a perfect setting to test them without harming or changing settings on other machines. It doesn't have good mac support since apple makes that difficult, but windows and linux work great.
