It is probably the most well-known among these types of programs, and that notoriety is well-deserved. It can do just about anything one may need to do with a virtual machine. > > **Cons**: The price tag on this software is the highest among its peers (to my knowledge, at least) and this can be problematic for those on a budget. > > I first was introduced to the concept of virtual machines while first trying VMWare Workstation, and although I've tried the competitor's alternatives since then, I still have a strong preference for VMWare. ----- ### "Good for graphics acceleration, k8s and containers" — 4.0/5 > **Mo** | *9 November 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I didn't have to compromise on graphics inside the VMs. I also like that I didn't have to create a docker server to run containers but instead I can deploy containers from the start with the vctl command. I also like that integration with Kind which makes it really easy to create dev k8s clusters. > > **Cons**: The pricing is high for consultants and freelance developers. It is good for companies but a developer version could be offered like other similar products ----- ### "Best Virtual Workstation?" — 5.0/5 > **Muhammad** | *8 July 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: VMware Workstation is a powerful and incredible virtual machine. it has many features like screen recording and it has a built-in windows 10 quick install which makes this software unique and amazing. > > **Cons**: The issue I faced was that when I use the suspend window option I don't know why but it breaks the windows. Other than this It's Flawless. > > VMware helps a lot from testing malicious software to using it for studies. long-form short is a reliable software. ----- ### "VMware Workstation" — 5.0/5 > **Mahendra** | *28 March 2021* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can install any operating virtually on my computer system and very easy to used the controls and menus in the software anyone can handle and use it very easily > > **Cons**: Some older versions may not supported many of latest operating system just like linux 8.1 and ubutu latest versions , and new work station like 16 pro ,15 pro are not running properly on low end pc so i will suggest to make finest and small version of Vmware Workstation for low end budget pc's so anyone can use it > > I can now run multiple operating system on my windows pc's very conviniently and properly , Before Vmware i need to boot my pc in bios and always change the os section , But after using vmware i can run linux,ubuntu,unix and also my windows 10 simultaneusly so i easily manage my client by thier requirements of os i easily switch and it helps me more to save my most of the time ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2048254/vmware-workstation-player?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2048254/vmware-workstation-player) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
