Simplicity of use, I could create a new Virtual Machine fairly easily, without any hassle, Its easier to play with all the configurations, I frequetly use it to host my VM's. It has a amazing UI, I could navigate through network and resources configuration fairly quickly, Also I could move my VM's by zipping there files from one host machine to other.

Price for the Pro version is a little bit more, you can still enjoy a lot of the features by Workstation Pro in VMware player which is a great alternative. It does consume a lot of resources from host machine though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike, but linking the icon to easy access toolbars in customer apps or browsers would ease operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From a single desktop/Laptop computer, it is simple to run virtual environments locally which is very helpful for Lab Purposes. It is a best Type B hypervisor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The license cost is a bit more. Sometimes Virtual machines freeze due to High CPU Usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VMware Workstation Pro, like other similar applications for virtualization machines, has the same issue. Bog size of machines files on our drives. Sometimes also machines work too slowly because of many things in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is expenssive and sometime hard to manage and configre, some simplicty are missing compare to other products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In my work, I have to download multiple software for SCADA implementation, PLC Logic Designing, and HMI Designing. So by using VMware Workstation Pro, I can make various virtual machines Instead of installing all this software on a single machine Which makes my PC slow as the software services are running in the background.
Another thing that I like is that I can test communication between servers and clients for SCADA and DCS Architecture using VMware Workstation Pro without having different physical machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing that I want to point out is that I have a hard time copying and pasting files from physical machines to virtual machines directly, and for that, I have to share folders on my physical device which consumes more time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like most is how simple it can be to have a controlled virtual environment on our computers. It has become quite easy to control VM instances without logging in to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Even though I have a solid laptop with good overall performance, loading up the Virtual Machines takes some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to install, manage and configure. There's nothing you can virtualize with this product of vmware. I am using this for roughly ten years and it still amazed me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing! All I can say that this is the only Virtualization tool that is very user friendly. You can use this in all types of environments and operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
VMWare Workstation lets you create and manage various configurations and basic settings for your virtual machine. Still, you can also define multiple virtual machines and attach to different types of networking. It also lets you easily define port forwarding rules in the virtual network editor or taking and managing snapshots of the state of your VM/work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it doesn't manage the Windows updates correctly and when you restart the VM, it doesn't work anymore, raising processor-related errors and you have to configure the VM with a single core to be able to start it and remove the update. Not clear if it's a problem with VM Workstation or Windows itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
