What is the difference between VirtualBox and Oracle VMware?
The question is about VirtualBox
VirtualBox and VMware are both popular virtualization platforms but have distinct differences in usage, licensing, and features. Oracle VirtualBox is a free, open-source virtualization product that supports most host and guest operating systems for personal and enterprise usage without any licensing costs. Ideal for people using economical ways of creating and maintaining virtual machines for most platforms. On the other hand, VMware provides a range of proprietary virtualization solutions with products such as VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion, which boast of greater functionality, better performance, and increased stability, especially in work environments. Generally, solutions provided by VMware come with licensing costs and are preferred for enterprise environments because of increased support, more options for integrations, and advanced features such as 3D graphics support and snapshots. VirtualBox is quite good for the tightest of budgets or entry-level users, while VMware has still widely been favored in meeting business and enterprise-level needs that require just a bit more performance and added capabilities.
