We used a different solution. Its performance would depend on the results, and it gave us problems. I switched to VirtualBox because it is more compatible with Oracle products.

I've previously worked with VMware and Workstation. In those cases, the starting and stopping of the machine took far too long. Oracle is much faster.

I used VirtualPC before, but VirtualBox is much better. It offers more configuration options in its settings, and we wanted an alternative to Microsoft products.

We had other costumers that had used other solutions, such as VMware and Microsoft hypervisor, but I've pushed them all over to VirtualBox because of its flexibility and potential.

For virtualizing desktop solutions, we did not use a previous solution. For server environments, we did. I have used Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware ESXi.

We previously used VMware. Virtualbox is easier to install when I already have a host OS. I don't need another client to connect to it.

We tried VMWare VMPlayer in the beginning, but VirtualBox outperformed it and so it became our choice.

We also use Proxmox VE, which is better in many ways aside from the networking and not being able to install unless it is a 64-bit architecture.
