VMware Workstation Pro Review
VMware Workstation Pro is the industry standard for running multiple operating systems as virtual machines (VMs) on a single Linux or Windows computer. IT professionals, developers, and companies building, testing, or demoing software for any device, platform, or cloud rely on Workstation Pro. Workstation Pro puts the data center on your laptop.
Key features of VMware Workstation Pro
Sphere connectivity
Use Workstation Pro to connect to vSphere, ESXi, or other Workstation Pro servers. Manage remote Linux or Windows virtual machines (and more), command power operations, or transfer virtual machines to and from a vSphere environment. VMware’s common hypervisor provides easy portability.
Clones for quick backup
Save time and effort and ensure an exact duplicate by recreating the same VM setup. Use Linked Clones to quickly back up a virtual machine while significantly reducing physical disk space. Use “Full Clones” to create fully isolated duplicates that can be shared with others.
Useful snapshots
Create an undo point to return to on the fly, perfect for testing unknown software or creating customer demos. Multiple snapshots make it easy to test different scenarios without having to install multiple operating systems.
A strong virtual network
Create complex IPv4 or IPv6 virtual networks for virtual machines or integrate with third-party software to design full data center topologies using real-world routing software and tools. New to Workstation is a network simulation designed to enforce packet loss, latency, and bandwidth constraints.
High performance 3D graphics
VMware Workstation Pro supports DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3 for a smooth and responsive experience when running 3D applications. You can run the most demanding 3D applications like AutoCAD or SOLIDWORKS with near-native performance in a Windows virtual machine.
High resolution display support
Workstation Pro is optimized to support high-resolution 4K UHD (3840×2160) displays for desktops and QHD+ (3200×1800) displays used in laptops and x86 tablets. It also supports multiple monitors with different DPI settings, such as a new 4K UHD display alongside an existing 1080p HD display.
Mutual compatibility
Create Linux or Windows virtual machines that can run across VMware’s product portfolio, or create limited virtual machines for use in Horizon FLEX. We even support the open standard so you can build and play virtual machines from other vendors.
Monster virtual machines
Create large virtual machines with up to 16 vCPUs, 8 TB virtual disks and 64 GB memory to run the most demanding desktop and server applications in a virtualized environment. Give graphics-intensive apps an extra boost by giving your virtual machine up to 2GB of available host video memory.
Restricted access to virtual machines
Protect enterprise content by restricting access to Workstation VM settings such as drag and drop, copy and paste, and connections to USB devices. Virtual machines can be encrypted and password protected to ensure access only to authorized users.
Shared virtual machines
Quickly share and test applications in a simulated production environment. Run VMware Workstation Pro as a server to share storage of preloaded Linux and Windows virtual machines in any configuration you want with your teammates, department, or organization.
