VirtualBox is a multi-OS virtualisation software, meaning it can run on multiple hosts (Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts) and supports a large number of guest operating systems including very old ones (like Windows NT4, XP and Vista). This can be very useful for testing. VirtualBox gets updated frequently which is important for this kind of software, meaning it is fully supported and maintained by Oracle. And bonus: it is Open Source! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VirtualBox support for ARM-based Apple Silicon Mac devices is in its early development phase, so not fully supported yet. Hopefully a new version will come soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about VirtualBox is how it lets me run different operating systems on my computer at the same time. It' helps me to test and use different software on different OS. Setting up VirtualBox is super easy and user-friendly. VirtualBox's snapshot feature is a lifesaver. I can capture the exact state of a virtual machine, kind of like a backup. If something messes up, I can just roll back to a previous snapshot and save loads of time and effort.

I love how seamlessly VirtualBox integrates the host and guest operating systems. I can share folders and files, copy and paste stuff, and even drag and drop files between them. It's smooth sailing for transferring data and working across different environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
