Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • -Allows instances of apps to run in their own memory space -Quick to install -Large repository of apps available -Tools to manage apps available -Available for Win10, Linux, NAS
  • Cross platform Repo to publish images which are not out there Part of open source project High performance for finding and sharing containers images
  • Easy to setup and get started with. Portability. Available across all platforms - Windows, Linux and MacOS. Large number of pre-built images. Simplifies deployment pipeline.

Cons

  • -While its easy to install a lot of Docker apps, installing tools to manage them is more challenging. -Linux based vs. Windows based Docker can be confusing.
  • Documentation is not that descriptive and In linux its find difficult to start and on windows virtualisation needs to be on and some changes in BIOS. And will not work on Windows home.
  • CLI takes time to learn. Resource intensive. Documentation is not beginner friendly.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Free & Open Source. Easy to setup & use. Great for using different Operating Systems on a single hardware simultaneously.
  • VirtualBox has updates often, supports a multitude of platforms (Windows, mac, Linux, Solaris...), and has a great documentation.
  • VirtualBox is available on pretty much all the majors platforms including Windows, Mac, and Linux. I'm using the later and you can run pretty much all type of systems on it (DOS, Windows, Mac, Solaris, and Linux). It's super easy to configure and use. I haven't experienced any major issue so far in the years I'm been using it. The bi-directional handling of the files and shared folders between host and guest machines is very easy and smooth. It is also fairly easy to expand the disk capacity of a virtual system. I had done that a few time as Windows keep swelling on my guest machine.
  • Open Source & Free to use. Easy to install & configure. Lots of customization options. Good documentation. Great community & regular updates.
  • It can virtualize a lot of operation systems including Windows, Mac, Linux and even Android. There are many configurable options available including amount of memory, video memory, storage and more. The virtualization works extremely well with no issues.

Cons

  • For a free software there is no con - but Vmware probably has more ease of access.
  • The hiccup for me is sometimes the VirtualBox Guest Additions, which on some Linux distros, I have to manually download every time I want to use it.
  • One of the majors cons I have with VirtualBox (on Linux) is the handling of the VM VirtualBox Extension Pack. Everytime I have an update of VirtualBox (which I don't usually notice at first), it will require you to go on the VM website, download the new Extension Pack and install it before you can actually start you VirtualBox session. It doesn't take long but it's annoying and I don't understand why the Extension Pack is not included in the mainstream update anyway.
  • Interface has become outdated. Less beginner friendly than competitors.
  • It's difficult to set the resolution to HD widescreen. GPU passthrough is not supported, so it's not good for virtualization of tasks that need a GPU.
