Performance is also really good, though one of the limitations of the free version is that you can only have one VM running at a time.Support rapid growth and innovate faster with secure, enterprise-grade, and fully managed database services
At its heart, VMware Workstation Player is really easy to use, with some more advanced features if you want to dive a bit deeper. Workstation Player also provides additional tools like GPU virtualization, USB pass-through, and the VMware Tools plugins allow you to seamlessly shut down and suspend VMs without having to have them open.
You may run into some compatibility issues on some hardware if you're trying to virtualize Windows (nested virtualization), but it's still absolutely possible, alongside any Linux distribution you can think of. Naturally, the more resources you have, the better your VMs will run, but even on a lower-spec machine, you're not excluded. Perhaps surprisingly, VMware Workstation Player also doesn't command particularly high-end hardware to run. But for the most part, it's basically the same. There are differences between the two, and there are some useful features, like snapshots, hidden behind the paid version. VMware Workstation Player is a completely free-to-use version of its desktop VM software, Workstation Pro. That isn't totally untrue, but it's far from being true. You've probably heard of VMware and you probably assume it comes with some fairly hefty price attached.
