Eine gute Virtualisierungsmaschine

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: Durch die Einfachheit, aber komplexität hat man unbegrenzte Möglichkeiten. Zusätzlich hat man wegen der großen Community zum einen die Möglichkeit viele Hilfestellungen zu bekommen zum anderen da es OpenSource ist gibt es die Möglichkeit die Software auch weiterzuentwickeln.

Vorteile:

Sie ist einfach gehalten, hat aber eine umfassende Auswahl von Einstellungen

Nachteile:

Wenn man die Software nicht regelmäßig verwendet muss gefühlt jedes mal ein Update machen.

Recommended to Beginners to Professionals

5,0 vor 3 Wochen Neu

Kommentare: Recommend to everyone who is new to Virtual Machines, I personally use it to run Ubuntu regularly to work with my Project Files.

Vorteile:

That this is free and open source. It contains lots of customizable features for running various VMs from the ISO files of the OSes, and is pretty easy to set up. Since it is very popular, it also has a lot of tutorials available online for customizations or while facing any errors.

Nachteile:

The Guest Additions doesn't work properly with all the OSes, and also sometimes changing the screen size/resolution of the VM running might create an issue like flickering.

VirtualBox review

5,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: Free Opensource & Multi platform application for managing and deployment of Virtual machines. No matter if a new OS inside your main system or virtualize your own computer and use it as a Sandbox...

Vorteile:

Easy to deploy new machines in no mater what your original desktop system comes from; you can virtualize a bunch of Linux, MacOS, Windows machines and ChromeOS & Android too!

Nachteile:

In a Windows Server environment, the Virtual machines can't start when booting the main Server OS (only after you login with Administrator credentials) and you need the help of third party programs to do that. In Linux environment is easier to deploy thanks to Cron.

VirtualBox: A Free and Powerful Virtualization Solution

5,0 letzten Monat Neu

Kommentare: As for my overall experience with oracle virtual box, it is literally positive with its ease of use, versatility, powerful features, cross-platform compatibility, free at no cost and open-source.

Vorteile:

I like most about oracle virtual box are 1. ease of use with user-friendly interface, simple to setup and manage VMs. 2. compatibility with a wide range of guest operating systems and host platforms. 3. the availability of virtual box is free at no cost and its open-source are highly valued.

Nachteile:

I dislike about virtual box is graphics performance within guest operating systems can be a particular area of concern.

The most convenient and feature rich visualization software package

5,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: Allows me to create separate secure virtual environments for various testing and user oriented applications without being tied to any specific hardware which makes migration and distribution very easy and convenient. I've been using the system for years and have been very satisfied with the performance, features and ease of use.

Vorteile:

A cost effective solution for running multiple virtual machines and OSes. Great for testing and using various operating OSes while using shared hardware. Easy to set up and maintain. Very useful for creating remotely accessible virtual environments for multiple users. Easy local and remote backups and rollback functions. Very convenient and customizable management interface.

Nachteile:

The only thing that I would like to be implemented in future versions would be integrated multiple cloud platform synchronization and management but there are plenty of 3rd party applications that accomplish the year so not really much of an issue but would be convenient to have everything in a single integrated package.

Oracle VirtualBox: Basic OS Virtualization that needs Improvement

3,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: Good experience but definitely would use VMWare for professional virtualization tasks.

Vorteile:

I used VirtualBox to run Linux and Windows OSes on top of my OSX MAC for the sake of testing networking and database software and for developing client/server applications. The nice thing about VirtualBox is its free license that makes it a cost-effective choice for users who want to test with new OSes and software. The virtualization performance is decent with some lagging when testing newer versions of Linux with more advanced GUI desktops. Definitely VirtualBox has a lot of limitations that I will mention in the Cons sectionl

Nachteile:

Many limitations make VirtualBox lag behind its main competitor VMWare Fusion (on a MAC) or VMWare Workstation (on Windows). The USB support is not enabled and requires a lot of configuration to make it work. The installation of the VM tools to provide a better resolution to the guest OS is also not that intuitive. This makes VMWare a much better alternative for serious developers/testers. The networking support also has some bugs especially when using the NAT network feature.

Thinking Outside the Box: Virtualization with VirtualBox

4,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: As someone who enjoys developing mobile games with Android but preferring Apple hardware, I've found VirtualBox to be an incredibly useful tool. It's saved me a lot of money by allowing me to test my games on multiple virtual environments without having to purchase additional hardware.Altogether, I would highly recommend VirtualBox to anyone looking to create and manage virtual environments, especially if you're interested in developing mobile games using different hardware, or if you are looking for a solid playground for your software projects.

Vorteile:

I've found VirtualBox to be a powerful and versatile tool for developing Android apps and creating custom operating systems. It's flexibility and free-access allowed me to test my applications on multiple environments without having to purchase additional hardware, and thus saved me a lot of time and especially money!

Nachteile:

As someone who has used VirtualBox for various projects, I've come across a few cons worth noting. Firstly, the limited support for 2D/3D graphics can be a hindrance for developers working on graphics-intensive applications like mobile-games. Secondly, I've experienced occasional stability issues when running complex virtual environments or multiple virtual machines simultaneously. However, these kind of issues can be resolved by using VirtualBox Enterprise for little money.

VirtualBox makes virtualization effortless

5,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: Using VirtualBox on my desktop to run both Windows and Linux has been an incredibly enjoyable experience. It provided me with a seamless and efficient way to immerse myself in the world of Linux programming for an extended period. With VirtualBox, I effortlessly created and managed virtual machines, switching between Windows and Linux environments at will. This flexibility allowed me to work on diverse projects, develop, and test software in different operating systems, all within the convenience of a single machine. The user-friendly interface and ease of use made the transition between these environments a breeze, and the ability to snapshot and clone VMs simplified my development workflow. VirtualBox truly became my go-to tool for exploring the Linux realm while maintaining my Windows environment.

Vorteile:

With VirtualBox, I can easily run both Windows and Linux on my computer as a virtualization solution that works seamlessly. With few resources, a test environment may be quickly and easily configured and operational. Also, lacks many of the complex and needless requirements that I have observed in other programs. The good thing about VirtualBox is that most users find it to be a cost-effective option because to its free license.

Nachteile:

Regarding this product, I have nothing but positive things to say. Any problems I run into are simple to handle.

A virtualization powerhouse

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: VirtualBox is a solid tool for virtualization, allowing us to run and distribute entire Linux boxes to our students or other researchers easily.

Vorteile:

It was effortless to set-up machines using wildly different Linux distributions and Windows versions. Seldomly crashing and able to run heavy workloads with simulated peripherals, VirtualBox is my go-to choice for virtualization.

Nachteile:

It would be nice to be able to change all hardware parameters of the machine at runtime, though it is a rather rare requirement.

A great tool to test new OSes

5,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: As said above, my experience has been great, privately and professionally.

Vorteile:

I used virtualbox both for development purposes (recreate production environments on my local machine) and recreational ones (testing and previewing Linux distros) and it has always worked great. Very quick to spin up new machines and to transfer settings and vdi between hosts.

Nachteile:

Sometimes it is difficult to make some advanced configuration with external devices. In Linux sometimes it has permission issues.

VirtualBox should be mentioned on all blog articles talking about the "Must have" software

Kommentare: I have old software that are incompatible with Windows version beyond 8 and by creating virtual machines that allow me to run old software, I have found a solution.

Vorteile:

The fact that it works and it is also free to use really boggles my mind. This is a very stable product and I am happy with it.

Nachteile:

I'm hoping one day the team will release a version for the Apple M1 chip because sometimes, I have to use a Mac.
