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. ----- ### "VirtualBox is one of the best virtualization solutions in the market" — 5.0/5 > **Lucas** | *November 27, 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: An Oracle Software that doesn't Meet Oracle's Standards" — 3.0/5 > **Wassim** | *July 17, 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 review, QA and support usage" — 5.0/5 > **Matjaz** | *September 5, 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. ----- ### "Virtual Hardware Saver" — 5.0/5 > **Travis** | *June 29, 2022* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is a wide array of virtual hardware supported in VirtualBox. This makes it very easy to have backup copies of archaic hardware that is no longer available but the software on them is still needed. The virtualization is fairly seamless for occasional use. > > **Cons**: There isn't much to not like about this software. The number of prompts when installing a new version and the 'extra' packages for USB support can be tiresome when it could just as well be automatic, but that is a minor issue. > > My biggest use case is to have a backup copy of a system that I am working to replace. Once the newer system has become well established and it is clear there is no need for information from the previous hardware I can clear out the old virtual machine. This doesn't support every use case when there was legacy hardware that was used for physical I/O as the host system would need the same I/O. Drivers don't carry over in those instances. ----- Page: 1 / 37\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/125387/virtualbox?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/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
