It also has a big community support. > > **Cons**: The setup process can be intimidating for beginners. > > I've been using VirtualBox for more than 10 years mostly for running isolated environments for development purposes and my overall experience is very positive despite the fact that there are many bugs from time to time. Especially on macOS. ----- ### "The most convenient and feature rich visualization software package" — 5.0/5 > **Gene** | *7 September 2023* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: A cost effective solution for running multiple virtual machines and OSes. Great for testing and using various operating OSes while using shared hardware. Easy to set up and maintain. Very useful for creating remotely accessible virtual environments for multiple users. Easy local and remote backups and rollback functions. Very convenient and customizable management interface. > > **Cons**: The only thing that I would like to be implemented in future versions would be integrated multiple cloud platform synchronization and management but there are plenty of 3rd party applications that accomplish the year so not really much of an issue but would be convenient to have everything in a single integrated package. > > Allows me to create separate secure virtual environments for various testing and user oriented applications without being tied to any specific hardware which makes migration and distribution very easy and convenient. I've been using the system for years and have been very satisfied with the performance, features and ease of use. ----- ### "VirtualBox: An Oracle Software that doesn't Meet Oracle's Standards" — 3.0/5 > **Wassim** | *17 July 2023* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: VirtualBox was an Open source OS virtualization software that Oracle bought to support its cloud client virtualization platform. VirtualBox is easy to deploy and use. I use it on Windows to run Linux servers to test networking and cryptography packages. If needed for basic OS virtualization, then this would be a very cost efficient solution. > > **Cons**: The main limitations in VirtualBox is the lack of support of Graphics acceleration in Guest OSes and in the lack of automatic support of high resolutions in the Guest OS desktop. The copy-and-paste functionality is also crippled between the host and guest OSes. I many times needed to send files by email to emulate this simple task. Moreover, sharing drives between the host and guest is not always supported. USB sticks need a lot of configuration to be mounted in to the guest OS to make it work. I wonder how can Oracle produce or manage this low quality softaware. > > I faithfully prefer VMWare Workstation (Windows host) or Parallels (MAC host) to support OS virtualization. Much more advanced features that can overcome the limitations in VirtualBox. ----- ### "VirtualBox is one of the best virtualization solutions in the market" — 5.0/5 > **Lucas** | *27 November 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is compatible with almost every simple operating system and has a clear, easy-to-use user interface. > > **Cons**: It takes a while to receive new updates. ----- ### "VirtualBox review, QA and support usage" — 5.0/5 > **Matjaz** | *5 September 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is free for personal use. It just works. I used it years ago also in the University and also for testing projects in the office. I like it also because it works on Windows, Linux and Mac. > > **Cons**: The format can be problematic, in case you want to run some VMs from other vendors. > > Very satisfied. ----- Page: 1 / 37\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/125387/virtualbox?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/125387/virtualbox) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
