Recommendations to others considering VMware Workstation Pro:

Consider the upgrade, it's worth it. There are lot of additional features in the new release that prove beneficial such as better hardware support amongst others. The new version also employs a much more user friendly interface which can make handling the software very painless. If you want to consider a cheaper alternative but not with such sophisticated features, please choose Virtual Box. VMware has great customer support as well after purchasing the product, which makes after issues much easier to solve. The main new addition is support for Windows 10 as a host and as a guest, with integration features. On the guest side, Workstation’s Auto Detect and Easy Install features now work with Windows 10. That means you can install in the Windows 10 installation disc, Workstation will recognize the new OS when booting a VM, and setup will proceed automatically. I tried this with the latest Windows 10 ISO and a brand-new VM, and installation was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VMware Workstation Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I run various kinds of VMs to develop and test software I'm writing without messing up my host operating system, or manually partitioning my HDD to installing an OS on my laptop. Pro version also allows me to capture a state of the VM as a snapshot so if I'm experimenting something that fails I can always revert back. I can also export VMs to colleagues to share a common VM image that can be used as a template. Though lately I've moved to more open technologies such as KVM.
