Battle [Malware Testing] VMware workstation or Oracle VirtualBox?

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

Which one do you prefer, and why?

 

[McLovin]

Currently use VMWare Workstation and I think that it is good for all the YouTube vidoes that I make and plus I know my way around it compared to Oracle VirtualBox.

I voted for VMWare Workstation since it's the more secure Virtualization Software out there. VMWare Workstation is secure enough that it prevents malware from infecting the Host PC.

I choose VMware Workstation.
VirtualBox is good also. I ever tried testing AV there.

I have made a guide on how to setup Virtual Box. Virtual Box Guide - By McLovin

When I test malware I usually use VirtualBox. I've used both.

If I want to test my own system though I test my own system. I've never had anything get by.

They're both good but from my limited use/understanding (I do intend to do more at some point...) on them both, VMWare is more secure and comptable, Virtual Box has been known to cause quite a few conflicts with regards to testing so has not been accepted by a few providers (Comodo been one of them) which has caused a bit of confusion for the sole users of that Virtual Software...

There was a more in-depth response from Egemen on why it's no accepted but have not got the time to go searching for it now...

Vectored exceptions fail on VirtualBox. That is as indepth an explanation as I've seen.
