The tool's performance is really good, so I can rate it a ten out of ten. The product did meet my expectations by allowing me to run multiple operating systems simultaneously. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The product is stable, very easy to deploy, easy to use, easy to configure, and easy to set up. I took care of the integration part of VMware Workstation with vSphere. I describe the product's documentation as a good area. My company gets complaints about technical notes from VMware. My company does face limitations with the product, and it is based on the licenses that we have purchased from VMware. I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.
We have shipped out all the back end and containerized the application. We are currently using DKU and AKS. I recommend the solution because of its reasonable pricing. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Our choice of products depends on our clients’ requirements. VMware is a good option if we need a set of configurations on a single machine. The tool performs well. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
The platform saves much time as it snapshots the testing process for reuse across different environments. It proves crucial in a development workflow by allowing the creation of a base image. It takes snapshots at different development stages or scenarios, and teams can effortlessly switch back to specific points for testing. The snapshot functionality can isolate and manipulate guests independently, impacting only the host system. It has sped up the project management process. We don’t have to go back and reinstall it from the beginning. The cloning feature in VMware Workstation benefits operations such as penetration testing and ethical hacking. We can clone a box and ship it to the customer for easy deployment. I rate it a nine out of ten.
I would recommend the solution to others. My advice depends on people’s use cases. The product is suitable for testing applications with different operating systems and for learning different operating systems. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
VMware Workstation is a great tool for learning. Go for it 100%. It's worth your time, and it's a perpetual license, so you can keep using it forever. It's a great learning experience and a great tool. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I have stopped the use of ESXi in VMware Workstation. It is important to note that VMware Workstation may not be a good solution for my company since it is not a perfect solution. I don't personally recommend VMware Workstation to those planning to use it since it is a type 2 hypervisor. It is always better to use a type 1 hypervisor, but if someone prefers to use a type 2 hypervisor, then it is always best to choose the paid or licensed version of the solution. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

We are planning to invest in Microsoft products. My recommendation would depend on the product that people are using. While researching, I could find the solution in the product’s documentation. Overall, I rate the solution a seven or eight out of ten.
I would tell potential users that they don't have to have any prior knowledge. They have to follow the prompts and fulfill the steps. I would recommend this solution; it's very user-friendly. On a scale from one to ten, I would give VMware Workstation a ten.
I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm on at the moment. It's likely the latest. I'm at around version 14. I'd rate the product seven out of ten. I've been pretty happy with its capabilities overall. That said, it could be more robust and offer more features.
My advice to others is they should be clear on the requirement for the hypervisor. Why are they going for VMware or any other hypervisor solutions and what are the benefits that they can bring to the table for them. They should choose the best vendor in the market, not only in terms of the vendor but in terms of cost. VMware is slightly on the higher side when it comes to price, but for all the interface customers, it's a one-stop solution for all the virtualization needs. I rate VMware Workstation an eight out of ten. I have not found a solution that is above an eight out of ten in my experience. There is room for improvement. VMware Workstation is now into microservices, containers, Kubernetes, and others containerization technology which I have not had a lot of experience with.

This product is pretty straightforward and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it for testing different scenarios, Windows, Linux, that sort of thing. It works well in all environments, in my opinion, and the ease of setup is great and allows you to have a lot of test cases strictly run from your system rather than having to set up another whole desktop or another computer as a testing environment. Obviously, it's based on the number of hardware resources available in your system but to get a quick testbed or environment set up, it's pretty easy and straightforward. You can set it up and go about your daily routine and then come back to it, test some more scenarios, get it to where it's accessible through the networks, and determine whether we need it or not. It's better to have that rather than having to set up a whole other computer for testing. I rate this solution 10 out of 10.
VMware Workstation is part of a suite of robust Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) tools or Desktop Hypervisors that allows users to run Kubernetes clusters, containers, and Virtual Machines (VMs). Users have the option to choose between VMware Workstation Pro or VMware Workstation Player to ensure that they get the most out of their VMware Workstation experience.
