Overall Satisfaction with VMware Workstation Pro

We are using VMware Workstation Pro for testing temporary environments during the development life cycle. VMware Workstation Pro is very convenient for creating, managing, and moving environments from one PC to another for testing the code level changes. We have deployed Oracle local environment on VMware Workstation Pro and it is performing as expected.
  • Virtual Machine deployment.
  • Best for creating temporary environments.
  • Flexibility.
  • Resource Sharing.
  • License Cost.
  • More OS support.
  • Low cost.
  • Less reliable.
  • Resource allocation.
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 provides a simple solution for deploying virtual machines.

Do you think VMware Workstation Pro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with VMware Workstation Pro's feature set?

Yes

Did VMware Workstation Pro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of VMware Workstation Pro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy VMware Workstation Pro again?

Yes

VMware Workstation Pro is well suited for temporary and low-cost environments specifically for testing environments. This is well suited for small companies and home-based users and for corporate and large scale businesses it is less suited as VMware Workstation Pro is not much reliable for production environments and load-based applications.
