Overall Satisfaction with VMware Workstation

All my academic projects are done on Linux and I use it on VMware Workstation. Apart from that my Hadoop cluster and centOS machine are also deployed on Workstation virtual machines.
  • Allow user customization.
  • It's free for students
  • It lets you run all your virtual machines in the background
  • Bugs and crashing.
  • User interface
  • More customization of virtual machines
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.
If you have to deploy several virtual machines then VMware Workstation is the best option.
