#Oracle virtualbox vs vmware workstation windows

'If you have the standard edition of Windows server then with each copy of the operating system, you have two virtual machines for free.'.'This is a fairly expensive product because it balances the needs of security.'.'Microsoft Hyper-V is not expensive and is easy to set up.'.When it comes to the network the VMware is more flexible than Hyper-V.' 'In my opinion, it would have been better to truncate the site-to-site replication.' It's doable with a couple of Hyper-V servers, but it becomes harder to manage when you get over two or three Hyper-V servers.' 'Failure capabilities are insufficient for disaster recovery.' 'One of the network problems I face is I cannot introduce other security layers on top of Hyper-V as you can in VMware. You can manage servers in Hyper-V's admin centers, but it's not as scalable. VMware has a central console to pull in all your VM servers, so you can easily manage them all through one console. That is a limitation.' 'The operating system is very, very heavy.' 'Hyper-V's management platform falls short in terms of scalability, especially when handling multiple Hyper-V servers. It is customizable, but you have to be a PowerShell expert to customize these things. Then you have to work with Python and Java, and Microsoft isn't the best option for this kind of work' 'I would like Microsoft to put more effort into the Admin Center interface and make it much easier. I think it falls behind the other competitors.' 'We have our scientific network, and it's run off the university sever, and we need two servers to optimize our scientific work, such as the mathematics work. 'In general, based on my little experience with Hyper-V, I see a lot of obstacles. With this workstation solution, you can have a development environment for all the things you develop.' 'The technical support is good.' 'The performance is good.' When you have different ongoing developments, you often need to create a lot of different development environments. It helps us a lot.' 'We are able to simultaneously run multiple operating systems in a single machine and have virtually no performance hit.' 'Great at solving connection problems.' 'The most valuable feature of the VMware Workstation is the ease to create a development environment. We have an individual copy of Windows installed on the virtual machine, so anybody can access that. For example, if a program needs a specific security policy, we don't have to use the shared configuration. 'VMware Workstation is great for migrating and patching operating systems.' 'It is much more mature compared to Nutanix or SimpliVity when it's cross-platform based.' 'It will not harm any of the computer settings to run a specific program. However, VMware Workstation users are more satisfied with the technical support they receive than are Hyper-V users.
