What are the disadvantages of VirtualBox?

The question is about VirtualBox

Answer:

The disadvantages of VirtualBox include performance limitations, fewer advanced features, and compatibility issues compared to other virtualization tools. Being free and open-source, VirtualBox may not be as robust in performance and stability compared to premium solutions from VMware or Hyper-V for very graphically oriented or enterprise workloads. Also, it can be resource-intensive, which may severely affect host performance on lower-spec hardware. Also, VirtualBox does not include a few of the advanced features that VMware sells: seamless 3D graphics support, improved snapshotting, and professional-level network configurations. In addition, there may be a number of compatibility issues associated with certain guest systems or hardware configurations that limit its functionality in some setups. These discussed limitations make VirtualBox not very suitable for high-demand enterprise environments or users needing special features.
