What do you like best about VMware Workstation Player?

1) Its industry standard desktop virtualization technology that helps even a tablet can be running with Windows or Linux.

2) It provides the best features of VMWare like completely isolated secure virtual machines for an encapsulated operating system and its application.

3)New operating systems can be installed as virtual machines just like a separate window in your desktop PC Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Workstation Player?

1) You’ll need a unique image for each OS and there is no advanced floating feature available.

2) PC OS and Hardware side problems can affect the top virtualisation as it uses the base OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VMware Workstation Player?

I prefer the workstation pro version, but in case you need to install in a secondary machine and you don't need to build a new vmdk , or you just need to play a vmware virtual machine, this is the version right for you.

Every new release is more reliable, this program is a must have for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Workstation Player?

I don't find nothing I dislike, it is easy to use, it is fast, and you can share many moitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
