Its really good just the servers we have desktops now.

For working from remote it is a great tool for any network engineer. Displaying a virtual desktop in from of you and operating it at ease is its biggest feature.

One of the negative features is not being able to copy from desktop to VDI desktop but after working with this software for a while you figure ways around that.

A good vdi solution if you already have a VMWare infrastructure.

The features to display and virtualize a desktop enviironment is very important, the control features with management is very good and intitutive.

Latest builds are having some bugs and they are hard to troubleshoot without support from tech team.

Overall, I love this software and I recommend this software for all users of virtual Servers and workspaces.

It is very useful for remote work, telecommuting, or work from home. It is cost-effective as it reduces hardware, software and maintenance costs with more flexible and scalable to desktop deployments.

Fairly easy to use, easy to setup multiple VDI addresses (this was necessary because the network I was on was not always reliable).

VSphere management tools are the best in the business. Support is responsive and extremely knowledgeable, and it just works.

Voice and graphics management is also the part of it. You can have the similar experience on any of the system like windows, Mac or mobile.

Its just sometime, it fail to load apps and require a restart. Switching between apps can be slow.

One of the best tool for delivering applications and virtual desktops / laptops. Users are at ease for its usability and its functionality.

It's good for small & large business complex because it can be used as a internet or intranet software desktop that soley confidential to your business.

Implementation is bit tricky it you have network polices and firewall engage. Performance can be downgraded sometimes and its difficult to track it too.

Once the setup and configuration is up, the system is consistent and reliable. It is very flexible to configure on any kind of environment.

Easy to set up, easy to use. The performance of this product on my Hp laptop is great, with no freeze-ups.

Very good experience in general, the software gives a robust experience ofr VDI solutions, only you need to invest time in development.

My biggest problem was my Windows VM stopping periodically for no particular reason. This was highly frustrating since I'd be doing some high leverage task and was unable to save my work.

And other than that the performance is so smooth. My final year assignments were perfectly finished with the help of this software.

VirtualBox is easily the best virtualization system for desktop usage. Performance and reliability are at very good level and there are a lot of features to make the everyday work very easy.

You really can't beat the cost. It's easy to use and offers a lot of functionality such as seamless integration with the host OS.

VirtualBox is an excellent option for users who want to virtualize machines and validate applications and different operating systems.

Good, it is still my go-to app for virtualisation because it is simplier than VMWare and easy to use. Works good, has support for Linux.

Inability to upgrade or lack of migration options often means  that they need to keep these programs running while replacing broken or old hardware.

VirtualBox is a pretty great tool when you want to run a completely different OS on a system which already has some OS. It makes virtualization pretty simple.

Sometimes, when you have an error, Virtualbox is not so specific about the error so it's so hard to find the solution.

Even if you do have VMWare products, the ability to perform development, testing, or other work within a free product that is virtually equivalent to a paid product is a great thing to have.

Furthermore, with all the integrations and customized settings that it supports, VirtualBox ensures that it provides a great experience in terms of compatibility and ease of usage.

I love being able to switch from one OS to another without switching PCs. It's great also that you can share data across installations.

I love to use this software because it saves my hardware cost and I can use it to run different operating systems in my physical machine.

The ease to create a new virtual environment, together with the hundreds of already available environments from the community.

Super easy to use, provides great integration to GNS3 making your simulations more interesting and complex.

VirtualBox is the best Virtualization software available in the market right now. It is easy to install and easy to use.

It is one of the most powerful and useful to virtualize one or more operating systems on a single machine. The tool is very intuitive while setting up a new OS environment.

It is also open-source which is really cool, democratizing knowledge and technology for all. It gets regular updates and is very well documented, and you can find a very helpful and engaged community.

The user interface is not very intuitive, I find it very difficult to navigate and complete some tasks. I was very frustrated by the locking of the cursor in some instances.

Integration with tools such as Vagrant. Free but still good quality and with good basic feature set.

It's easy to set up, and you can't compete with the fantastic price of *free.

Virtual box sometimes not working up to the mark and you have to find it what you want. So on that time fell tired.

Probably the best way when you want to share a VM to many people to save time so they don't have to configure a box themselves.
