In my experience, VirtualBox stands out for its cleaner and more user-friendly interface, making it ideal for beginners, however, it may be slower in terms of performance. On the other hand, VMWare has a more complex UI and is generally more complicated to use, but it offers powerful capabilities, even enabling gaming on a virtual machine. Based on these factors, my recommendation is to choose VirtualBox if you don't require a high-performance virtual machine and primarily use it for other tasks. However, if you need a powerful VM, VMWare Pro is the way to go. It's worth noting that the unpaid version of VMWare is similar to VirtualBox, while the paid version provides a noticeable difference.
I literally have the opposite experience. I have had nothing but problems with VMware workstation. Networks disappear, snapshots disappear, virtual disks get corrupted. Vmware workstation was a nightmare for me. I wanted to love it, but it was bad on my system for some reason. Virtual Box is way slower yes. But MUCH more reliable in my experience. Everyting just works in VirtualBox.
Wow that's really weird ! I've been using VMware for 10 years at this point with hundred of VM's an never had any of this issues. I've tested VirtualBox recently to give it a chance, I've tried running some of the same VM's i had in VMware and it was horrible, it was working but it was honestly so slow that it was barely usable for serious work.
@@StudioSecThe problem with type 2 hypervisors is it uses software to emulate hardware drivers rather than talk to the hardware directly. VmWare workstation and vbox were both nightmares on AMD hardware from 12 years ago (this was 8 years ago) and the AMD filter driver kept my IO below 500k a second even on a raid 0 nvme card. I tried again on an Intel system and the IO worked but I had some other weird bug with BSOD whenever the PC went to sleep. I switched to Hyper-V and problems went away. I can even sleep and wake up my PC as it runs underneath the OS kernel at ring -1 so no weird driver setups. I use FreeBSD pfsense for my routers and it was so nice not needing to install tools on these vms. Hyper-V runs as a kernel module in Linux and FreeBSD so no need to do any configuring on these guests which was sweet!
I tried my best to make Virtual Box work for me but for whatever reasons it just didn't work out for my needs. I now run my development environment as a VMware VM stored on an encrypted external NVMe that I can run from my work laptop when at work and my faster (and MUCH quieter) personal PC when home.
VBox can be good but yeah it can also be quite finicky. I started having a lot of issues with it back when and that's what pushed me over to VMWare. There are some other good hypervisors out there as well but I've enjoyed my time in VMWare so far.
Keep in mind you don't have to get Pro with VmWare Workstation 17 to get snapshots anymore. But you have to log into download the software. You get the full software for free, but for commercial use you legally have to. But it doesn't seem to support real GPU. At least that's what the Reddit and various forums say, and I've not found anything indicating it supports it.
VMware tried to charge me thousands of dollars to do what Virtual box did for free for me. And, it did all the exact same things that I needed. I even learned about Network+ Linux+ security+ and PenTest+. I also got to l earn the differences in programing in C++ on windows vs Linux. I wasn't about to spend the money even if it was there. Virtualbox for me is a life long winner.
I used to use VirtualBox. As the newer versions of it came out I kept having more and more problems with it. I bit the bullet and pay for VMWare Workstation Pro. It's worth the money.
@@derivativeoflog7 Yeah the keys are easily availible online it seems they don't really care about people using repeated keys, its probably making money solely from buisnesses
This... i remember using virtualbox 5.x and using win 7 and all was fine but as soon i upgrade to version 6 or after 5.4 or something like that...i had a horrible echo sound each time i clicked or put some video. The issue never solve so now i have vmware and its work like charm.
I have VirtualBox on my Linux installation, since KVM can never work for some reason for me and it works great on there. I have an install of Windows 11 as well on my system on a separate drive and I went to install VirtualBox on Windows and it was running so very slow and I wasn't able to figure out what was causing it at all. I had started using VMWare Workstation because VirtualBox wasn't seeming to go fast at all. There was some issue going on with the HyperVisor and I was trying everything to fix it that was being shown to fix it but it still wasn't. It wasn't until I installed the LDPlayer Android emulator on my Windows installation today that I ended up finding the issue was actually with the Memory Integrity feature that Microsoft wants to be enabled. When that is disabled , the LDPlayer and VirtualBox both work perfectly.
If I have to be honest, I rarely know a lot about computers and is practically a noob when it comes the virtual boxes, so what confuses me is when you mentioned VM encryption, what are the benefits of it? like is it a sort of hacking prevention or something like that?
I switched to Hyper-V which I found even less buggy than VB and Workstation. It only costs $79 more to turn Windows Home to Pro to use Hyper-V. Since upgrading to Windows Pro I also have Remote Desktop support to remote into my home PC from work which was cool
I am here because I have been creating virtual machines for my home lab (Active directory) my problem is, after my main PC shuts down my virtual machine files gets corrupted I don't know if this problem is from my PC or it is the virtualization software, after this video am never using virtualbox again am switching to VMware. Great video tho, thanks for the insight.
Yes VMWare is by far better, plus you can give some of your GPU memory to the guest OS which is nice. My question is what improvments/ features are there for the paid version of VM Ware Workstation Pro vs the free versions?
Gotcha! Thanks for this feedback. I'm definitely trying to do better with the "show, not tell" side and I think this was definitely a missed opportunity in this video. Thanks for watching!
I'm going to switch to VMware because I'm virtualbox what I want to test a few things it lags and when I go into the browser it just starts glitching and then blue screens my computer sometimes
I'm trying to use vmware to test something with a mac as I personally don't own any apple computers. I've tried with virtualbox and wasn't able to get it to boot and read that vmware works better with mac. I already had a linux vm in virtualbox so I tried to install the same os but it's very slow, much slower than an old disk drive. Took about 6 minutes to start up the installer and can't even get past the installer because the inputs stopped working.
Hi. I test VirtualBox as I see you can work with more than 128GB ram, something that VMWare cant. But indeed, VirtualBox is pretty more slow than VMWARE (i was testing S4Hana little server, that load on memory a out 100 gb ram). Thanks for your opinion.
VMWare to me stomps VirtualBox, but to me that's mainly because VMWare has been better for hardware acceleration in my experience. VirtualBox used to be good in that regard, but it seems to deteriorate with each batch of updates.
I updated newest VMware ,my game runs at 10 FPS, windows 10 is lagging with 3d acceleration with the name only ,it does nothing with on and off, unusable on my windows 10 22H2 ,same windows version on VMware ,it just lagging,and low performance
Thanks for another great video. I had a quick question. I'm using virtual box on 11 windows pro and I'm unable to get an IP address. It comes up with IPV4 10.0.2.15. Why is this? Also, does my server manager have to connected to the Internet to get an IP address? Thanks for your help.
You got it! I've worked a lot on the sound element since making this video. Let me know if it is, in fact, better, or if I can still work on the audio levels 🙏
@@StudioSec the problem with Virtual Box is the issues of getting the 64bit to work man, it's just so stupid man, I can't get the Bois to edit it, it makes no sense you download the 64bit & it won't work in today's age
What type of system are you running? You may need to try running a 32-bit or an ARM image. I use the M1 Mac and have to use ARM images, which kinda stinks and is literally the only gripe I have about the M1.

LOVE your videos brother. Keep it up. I watch many and you are solid at your delivery
VirtualBox is decent for beginners but if you no longer are switch to VMware Player its better.
This is a great assessment
If I have to be honest, I rarely know a lot about computers and is practically a noob when it comes the virtual boxes, so what confuses me is when you mentioned VM encryption, what are the benefits of it? like is it a sort of hacking prevention or something like that?
Basically it protects the privacy of your VM
