Easy to use, can get most complex networking topologies in your workstation, and is easy to automate with tools like Hashicorp's Vagrant. Snapshots are easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance-wise is a bit slow compared to other tools like VMWare Workstation and lacks native integration with other bare metal hypervisors like vSphere and Hyper-V. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The very first thing is that VirtualBox is totally free and Open Source. We can install and run virtual machines in MAC, Windows and Linux as well. It is user-friendly. If you are looking for a good virtualization software you can simply go for it. The software is very much stable and most of the time we can use it hassle-free.

Often we may face issues with the internal NAT network adapter sometimes. Which will take some time for finding and fixing the issue. But other than that, there are no cons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VirtualBox is an amazing virtualization product to run various operating systems on the computer. The things I liked about it are as listed below:

1) It is free and open-source software.

2) It allows to set up multiple virtual machines on the same device.

3) It is very easy to install and use.

4) It allows us to allot processors and base memory to the virtual machine as per our requirements.

5) It also provides file sharing options between the virtual machine OS and the host OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used VirtualBox to set up a Ubuntu virtual machine. It worked really well. However, I have observed the following drawbacks:

1) While using the virtual machine, the host operating system becomes really slow.

2) Sometimes, there were glitches in the file-sharing between the host OS and the virtual machine.

3) The virtual machine sometimes gets stuck and stops working immediately. All the unsaved work will be lost.

4) Sometimes, booting the virtual machine takes a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is one of the best options available to run a different operating system on the same laptop. The best thing about it is that it is free. We can manually manage the ram and space we want to provide to the particular operating system we want to run in a virtual box. It provides a virtual environment, so you don't have to dual boot your laptop or pc if you switch the Operating system while working. I like that we don't have to add the ISO file again and again; we can load one time and allocate the space, and the next time we visit, we need to run that operating system just like the actual device.

It requires a high-end pc to run multiple operating systems as we need to allocate some ram to it, and if our system has only 4GB or something, then it might crash other applications, or you can run only it. Secondly, in windows, we cannot access the social engineering tools in the kali operating system, and the window size is too small to work. It is not full screen.

I am using Oracle VM Virtual Box for creating virtual machines for testing and deploying computer software that I developed in the different operating systems. the thing I love the most is it is Open source and free to use due to this we have huge community support.

Although I don't find anything that I don't like sometimes it takes a long time to boot up the virtual machine. And we need a very huge amount of Ram and processing power in the host system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about oracle virtual box is that they have provided it free. The ease with which we can load an OS image and allot multiple images in one virtual box of different OS s is lovely.

Creating multiple instances of a single os, or making multiple machines of different OS, including the functionality of bridged network, is brilliant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The window size of the OS does not cover the complete screen, and we have to work in a small window which sometimes does work very hard and is not much productive. Sometimes the functionality of copying text from an outside machine to the virtual box OS is not possible and never works even if we try to rectify it. The whole test has to be handtyped Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Virtual Box is the best VM Software that I've used. I really like that it's easy to use even for someone that has never used VM software. It takes you to step-by-step instructions ever since you are installing it on your computer and allows you to allocate resources so you can't hinder your host computer performance by running another operating system at the same time.

You need to have an excellent computer to have a powerful VM while running Virtual Box. But it is not Virtual Box's fault if you install a VM with a powerful OS for you to do some testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I likes is like is irrespective of your system os youcan choose or use any os virtually Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So only think I disliked is integration process is bit complex and we have to additionaly download the resources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By using a virtual box, we can easily use more than one operating system in a same machine by allocating system resources for that operating systems.The best feature in virtual box is we can smoothly switch number of operating systems with out any lags Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to VM ware virtual box has more minor features, and in the virtual box, the Command-line operating systems are somewhat lag compared to the UI-based operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As its name, Virtual Box, Virtualizes almost all operating systems. It has a great feature of switching mouse and keyboard between the main OS and the virtual OS. Unlike other Virtual machines which cost very high, Virtual Box is free to download and can be used in any operating system. Also, it supports all the hardware in the machine. One of my best features about Virtual Box is, you can copy-paste anything between the Main and the Virtual OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using it for many years, I actually can’t figure a much of dismissive but yes if the machine can auto adjust the aspect ratio according to the Main OS when used full screen it would be great. We do have to either use it in current mode or floating mode and stretch it manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
