It is worth using a free application virtualization software?

Cost savings is always one of the key principles of IT departments. Thus, free tools are usually considered by companies when it comes to application virtualization. But before going for this type of software, at least 6 issues should be taken into account:

1. Do you need a new OS? Many free application virtualization tools are Open Source based and therefore, they are designed to run on Linux. In theory, this shouldn’t be a problem, but if you do not currently use Linux, you should evaluate a possible increase in support costs. On the other hand, if you decide to adopt a new server operating system, you should consider whether the employees have enough knowledge or if it would be necessary to provide specialized training.
