Virtualisation software - what do you use

jimbo45 · 20 Nov 2019

Hi folks

I'm interested in what members are using as their virtualisation software -- doesn't matter what host.
Basically : Hyper-V, Virtual Box, Vmware Workstation/player, Esxi, KVM, other e,g parallels, Citrix,XEN etc).
Reasons for using would be fine too and what people think of performance / snags etc.

Please post in the Poll -- I think you'll have to enter more than once if you use more than one Virtualisation product -- not sure if the Poll allows multiple answers.

Cheers
jimbo

Hi jimbo45. I use hyper-v and virtual box but when I tried to vote twice I got a message say I had already voted

I've edited the post to allow multiple choice, the 3 people that voted will need to vote again

Usage at home:
vmplayer (with snapshots enabled) & esxi routinely, others for testing.
Reasons mainly historical (existing VMs) & "supported" guests (MacOS), no need to change.

I use VMware Player for learning & experimenting and Hyper-V for professional use.

I've ended up using VMware, there were problems with VBox and Hyper-V at the time I tried them.
