VirtualBox could not make it much easier to set up virtual machine and virtual network. Snapshots are also a very convenient feature for a variety of different tasks, especially when setting up several VMs for a malware analysis lab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The host-key idea is not convenient. A more static key across systems would be better. For example, when I lose the menu header, it can be difficult to get it back. Also difficult to stretch the VMs across two monitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Virtualbox allows me to run local environments that are exact mirrors of production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be cumbersom to work with at times. Upgrading can be problematic and has rendered my virtual machines inaccessible. But this is rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VirtualBox can run many operating systems, including various Linux distributions one may have wanted to try but wasn't willing to devote an actual machine to. It's more flexible than commercial products that limit you to specific operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VirtualBox isn't the most efficient or performant virtual machine host, and it's not exactly the most aesthetically polished software, either, with some user interface oddities and annoyances—at least for those who care about such things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a native user of windows, of course, sometimes you need to run Linux OS, and then it comes to which VM to use, we use VirtualBox internally in our company for these reasons:

It helps us in the business domain to prepare training VMs and share it with the trainers in advance and it saves the time of setup and installing all tools individually.

1. Free of course and hence you can find many tutorials and QAs online.

2. User-friendly UI and easy step by step to install and add different Linux packages to it

3. Can import already prepared VM in another machine and share it with other users

4. Creates baselines and snapshots of the OS that you can revert to it anytime.

5. Shared files easily between VM and the native OS (Windows for example).

6. Devices shared to the VM from the native OS, like connecting USBs and any device with an easy select menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It is a little bit of an advanced step to create a shared folder between the native OS and the VM, now it has been easier with plugins, but still from time to time facing issues till this gets working.

2. Since windows 10 onwards has now hypervisor feature already supported, some feature has conflicts with the VM that you need to change windows 10 settings beforehand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can configure multiple operating systems using Oracle VirtualBox on the Host machine. This is open source and has the best graphical user interface and the comprehensive tech and community support available in the form of blogs, questions and answers, and troubleshooting issues. Virtual machines specification can easily manage and edit. Different features are set like bridge mode and managing and cloning the desired virtual machine. Files and data copy and paste from parent to virtual machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In most cases, VirtualBox works fine but in some cases, performance is down. Sometimes booting issues face and the stuck virtual machine stops working then shut down the machine and restart the machine. VirtualBox built by Oracle has a great feature list but has some limitations, which is acceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can easily understand all of its options and settings compared to other tools which have more complex interface which takes more load on my system more than the virtual machines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

its interface still is old it does need some type of revamp and some features which are community favorite should be available directly on the home page compared to them being inside many menus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It's free;

2. Very user-friendly;

3. It's very easy to jumpstart and use Oracle's Virtual Box, even if you had 0 experience with virtual machines before;

4. Has many options to configure your virtual OS, including CPU and GPU;

Compared to other software for virtual machines, it's much easier to configure your virtual machine. I used VirtualBox to set up Ubuntu however, it's also great to set up almost any other OS there is.

In cases when I want to play with different operating systems, but do not want to mess up my main system, I always go with VirtualBox, it lets me have fun and discover new OSs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use VirtualBox to configure a virtual machine with Ubuntu. It worked fine, but the system is not very responsive regardless of what I've done in the performance options of the machine. My computer is pretty powerful though.

Other than what I mentioned, the performance issues in some cases, I like everything in how VirtualBox works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Virtual machines' installation process and its creation is generally a bit complicated, but Virtualbox solves it by simplifying the same. It's great to see that we can monitor and have complete access over the virtual machine. It also supports multiple operating systems that gives it a complete edge over its competitors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The appearance and user interface of the virtual box is not that appealing when compared to its alternates like Vmware but still, it's doing the job flawlessly so there are no issues with that Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have installed Windows 10 through VirtualBox, quite happy using it.

1. While being on Linux you can use Windows on Virtual Box very easily.

2. It is easy for a beginner to use and follow the steps.

3. The service documentation provided on how to use it is very simple. Also, there's a huge segment of people using it, so a good number of community blogs to refer to.

4. It's an open-source tool. So there isn't a cost that you need to pay for basic installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The cursor speed is slightly slow, which makes me a little impatient.

2. The setup might require freeing up some space as it did in my case, there is no virtual memory allocated. So this might take some time and space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
