Pros: VirtualBox has the quality of virtualizing almost any operating system with excellent driver compatibility using VirtualBox from the versions where it was necessary to capture the mouse and keyboard to use it on the guest and then release them with the Ctrl key to use it on the host, and I can say that the development and constant updating by the community have made this a great virtualization software that has great driver support. But purely due to the fact that it's, number one, free, and number two, highly maintained and up to date, definitely have a look at it. It does have some limitations, compared to its competitors. I would say to anyone looking around, VirtualBox is definitely one to look at. I mean, we were up and running within a few days. It's not exactly difficult to get installed on either a Mac or a Windows machine.
We found getting started with VirtualBox pretty simple.
We chose VirtualBox after looking around on the market and we found not only was it free, and it seemed to be quite well-maintained and up-to-date, the product just seemed to work for us, pretty good. I would say that VirtualBox definitely has its limitations, but we found it to be pretty good. Previously to using VirtualBox, we tried a few different other platforms in order to virtualize a testing environment. I would give VirtualBox a rating of three out of five stars.
