Overall Satisfaction with VMware Workstation Pro
For the most part, we use it to support businesses' operating systems that are required for legacy software, allowing them to virtualize these systems on new hardware. It runs Windows XP Pro OS on top of Windows 10 and 11, making it possible to utilize custom legacy software and allowing for the use of COM/LTP ports.
Pros
- Legacy OS Virtualization.
- COM/LTP support.
- Virtual Hard Drive manipulations.
Cons
- Easy P2V migration utility.
- Thousands of dollars of savings virtualizing legacy operating systems.
VMware Workstation is ideal for small infrastructures and businesses, particularly for small-scale tasks, whereas VMware ESXi is well-suited for large production environments, multiple servers, and data centers.
