"The continued uptime of our virtual machines is good."
"I find it very easy to manage and at a cost that small customers would never refuse (free)."
"This solution allows the end users to clone, start, stop, or remotely control their VMs."
"The feature I find most valuable, is its performance"
"This is a good and easy solution for running virtual environments."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox has a platform where the support team responds to frequently asked questions by its users. Every time I have had issues with Oracle VM VirtualBox, I always get a solution from Oracle's online platform or GitHub."

"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"It needs improvement with the security features."
