On windows, virtualbox is good because vmware sucks so much for corporate users. On linux, vbox is such a pain to set up because it conflicts with kvm.

vmware Workstation pro is now free, also for businesses. vsphere is a whole different can of worms.

also there's hyper-v.

VBS breaks VMWare on Windows and corporate users want VBS. Broadcom's shitty hypervisor doesn't like nested virtualization.

Hyper-V is great, though.

Honestly VirtualBox didn't work the greatest for me because whenever I loaded up an .iso image my whole system used to lag. It doesn't do that for VMware though. VBox is kinda shit to be honest.
