I like Virtualbox, use it myself in several instances but I would never consider it a replacement for VMware.

Virtualbox is painfully non-performant compared to anything KVM based.

I use VirtualBox right now. My daily driver windows 10 guest is so slow, that pushing the start button comes with a 20s wait. Looking at the performance monitor while this is happening, nothing pops outs as the culprit. Plenty of resources left.

I've always sworn to VirtualBox, but I'm going to ask my boss for a workstation pro license next time I see him.
