VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use.
Specs
Specs are quantitative aspects of the option such as the price
Pros
Pro Many free images available
Though most are linux flavors at https://virtualboxes.org/
Oracle's virtualbox site has others.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con OS virtualization, not app sandboxing.
This will provide you with a sandboxed VM, but that VM is an entire OS, not simply an app with limited access. This means no sharing of libraries, no minimal dependency packaging, and your configuration per host is entirely your problem.
It can be used to provide single app sandboxing, but this is not VBox's purpose.
Know any negative aspects of this option?
