What I like about VirtualBox is that it is a virtualization tool that can handle different operating systems and applications using less hardware than might be needed if running on dedicated servers, which is a magnificent benefit. It has a very easy set of commands to control functionality, as well as a simple user interface, allowing you to easily manage all your virtual machines and customize resources effortlessly. It also has a lot of documentation available so you can customize the most suitable solutions for your company or project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I could express that I dislike is that if the host machine runs out of disk space, the VM will become unreadable even after freeing up space. Fortunately, VirtualBox keeps a previous copy, but you must restore it manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to host Windows and Linux OS same time. Easy to share the resources like Memory, RAM and external peripheral device. Installation and removal is very easy. Data exchange between main system is easy. Any number of OS can be installed. Very helpful in Large scale network tests Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not able to access all peripheral like SCI cards in virtual box. Sharing disk between virtual OS is not available. Limitations on virtual port creating and monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I liked most about this hypervisor is the simple way to create virtual machines and configure them in the most convenient way for you. You are the one who decides the specifications of a new VM and with the operating system you want to mount. I like the settings for each virtual machine, to be able to edit the storage capacity, RAM or the host network connection.

Other things that I like is that I can change the preferences, import and export the configurations of certain VMs, manage the network, save snapshots during the run for saving your process and have an easy restore point, and many other things, and all these options are for free.

Virtualbox graphic engine is not so powerful, since in machines with low specifications you can notice a low quality in performance, I personally have found that you have to turn off the instance, in many of those low-spec VMs. It is necessary to have a computer with a lot of ram memory and good processor so that everything works smoothly and there isn't problem in performance. Another drawback is that it is not entirely free, since some of its extensions require a license fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a very convenient tool for testing various software on different operating systems. Most of all in the virtual box I like that the tool is absolutely free. You can create the required number of virtual machines, and allocate the necessary number of system resources for each of them. Also a very important feature is that I can export my virtual system settings to another computer, and I won’t need to reinstall the software I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not always possible to import the installed operating system. This happens when you import a system from one computer to another. Often the system characteristics of computers are different, and not always one computer is able to work with the same settings. Unfortunately, the virtual box cannot adjust the finished image and independently allocate the necessary resources for the correct operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use virtual box to simulate a a wide range of operating systems; these including windows 10, windows 7, windows xp and versions of linux. The ability to emulate the OS in a controled environment gives me the capability to test and design features or software safely and at no cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the virtual box running within a system already, the loading times can be significantly long if there is a reduced amount of computer power (minor/major inlut lag). Although this is not too much a problem for my self but feel like some people may get fustrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that virtual box a gives me a visualization system for me to to run on an operating system.

Also the application gives you an opportunity to learn systems like ubuntu without having to divide my hard drive.

Also Virtual box can help you use a Linux box like you were running any other software in your either Mac Operating System,Widows Operating System thus very important.

This software is also easy to apply and install because it doesnt take alot of time to download it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Virtual box doesn't contain many features as the windows virtual do which limits our use of the virtual box or sometimes its the only thing we have and this limits our creativity when performing various tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My number one favorite thing about VirtualBox is the fact that it is completely free. It supports proxies, meaning you can use it to safely browse the internet and even test programs. You can make unlimited amounts of virtual machines, as long as you have the right amount of storage. Setting these up is no issue, you just have to find the right .iso to import into VirtualBox.

VirtualBox's controls are quite laggy in all honesty. It takes around 200-300 ms to perform the action after you do it. As well as this, it is very hard to set it up to the point where you can copy and paste into the VirtualBox. You have to add multiple extensions just to get this to work.

VirtualBox is still a frontrunner in the virtualization space, it helps me create disposable and self contained environments where I can run my experiments without being afraid of bigger consequences like the blu screen of death or a boot loop. I love to tweak Linux's boot loader setting, I would like to test them on virtual box before I deploy them across all machines in our organization. If I do not test out the boot loader configurations of virtual box beforehand, I run the risk of corrupting the boot loader and it would cause further complications. I also used to run my primary development environment on Virtual box to ensure my dependencies and software installs are isolated. Virtualbox helps me limit the amout of Random access memory (RAM) and processing power (CPU) each of my VMS get. It is very easy to setup virtual box and it is a better option to the paid VM ware as virtual box is absolutely free to download and use and unlike VMware again, Virtual box is open source software whose code can be viewed and audited for vulnerabilities. Virtual box is cross platform and supports Mc, Linus and Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be amazing if they come up with an option to run virtual box in tablets and mobile phones, it would come in handy to spin up linux machines on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Among the virtualizers it is undoubtedly the most simple and intuitive, but also very complete, with the possibility of virtualizing any aspect of a machine / device.

Furthermore you can create an image file of any machine created, to be able to share it, or copy it to a new device while maintaining the data and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the creation of a machine is not successful, without a reason.

Or it does not recognize some USB devices and you need to restart the machine.

I love VirtualBox because it has the ability to virtualize almost any operating system with unmatched driver compatibility, I have been using VirtualBox for some years now even when it was necessary to capture the mouse and keyboard to use it on the guest and then release them with the key Ctrl to be able to use it on the host really was a rather uncomfortable process, but its growing development and constant updating by the community have made this a great virtualization software that has great driver support. and the most attractive point is that it is free and is backed by a great company such as Oracle, it is important to highlight that VirtualBox is an excellent virtualization tool for home use since for the business area we have other more specialized tools, an extra important is that once the host host is installed, it is possible to obtain additional functionalities, such as sharing the clipboard, drag & drop support and adapting the host screen to the size of the host even by resizing, one of its excellent features lies in the possibility of customizing each machine to the required hardware needs with CPU, Memory, storage among others. In the networks section, the configuration capacity that can be obtained due to its different network modes is excellent, such as: Bridge mode, NAT, Internal network, host-only and Not connected, this can be said to be a tool Very complete virtualization.

In a cost-benefit relationship, many negative things could not be said about this tool, although it is appropriate to mention that in some operating systems such as Linux, the configuration of the extras that allow us for example the auto resizing of the screen and the other features can be complicated before mentioned in the pro. Additionally there is a point that although I would not consider it as much a negative aspect of the tool if it is necessary to mention, and it is the subject of the resources of the host team because of this the performance of the virtual machines will depend, and that is the essence of virtualization, one needs many system resources to maximize the host and virtual machine simultaneously. On the positive side, with VirtualBox it is easy to adjust the resources assigned to the virtual machine. It cannot be changed on the fly while using the virtual environment.
