"If you have the need for personal VMs - This is the best"
Product Reviewed: Workstation Pro
What do you like best about VMware Workstation Pro?

Very easy to use and is great on resources

Can share folders, audio, removable (USB) devices, printers, with the host

Integration with VMware vCenter/ESX (Connect to a Remote Server option)

Shared/de-duped memory allocations

Multiple monitor support

VMware vCloud Air support

Unity mode allows for easier VM application access.

Snapshots allow for testing and role back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Workstation Pro?

3D support is limited and videos don't play too well on a VM

Audio can also be a bit on the laggy side

Having to reboot for every update and VM reboots for VMtools updates

VMware often goes to a new MAJOR release but doesn't add many new features (other than adding support for newer OSes) so users have to pay up again without much benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"VMWare Workstation Pro is a necessity for virtualization work."
Product Reviewed: Workstation Pro
What do you like best about VMware Workstation Pro?

VMWare Workstation Pro takes advantage of our machine's hardware to create a rich and powerful virtual desktop environment. Virtual machine settings cover most aspects you can think of in a virtual environment. Created environments are isolated from main operating system adding a nice layer of security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Workstation Pro?

One aspect is the price of the software, as it is on the more expensive side. The other issue I've come across is problems with the GUI response. Even with substantial hardware resources a virtual machine can still become unresponsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Workstation Pro saves me lots of time and pain with creating images."
Product Reviewed: Workstation Pro
What do you like best about VMware Workstation Pro?

I like everything about it, but I guess the thing I like (love) the most is the snapshot feature. It has saved me countless hours of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Workstation Pro?

There is really not anything I dislike. But I guess the one thing I dislike the most is you have to be fast in clicking on the vm screen and pressing F12 to boot to network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
