We performed a comparison between Veeam ONE and VMware vSphere based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, IBM, Nutanix and others in Virtualization Management Tools."The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is easy to set up initially."
"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"I use customization to prevent any network and DNS collisions to the router."
"Server Virtualization is the most important feature because that helps me to utilize 100% capacity of my physical server or box. Its redundancy, uptime, or high-availability is also valuable. Storage-sharing is also valuable. In vSAN, I can utilize the maximum storage. In the physical boxes, if you don't require storage, it lies idle, but with VMware or any kind of virtualization, you can utilize the full storage."
"The ability to create or clone a virtual environment in a short period of time for testing is most valuable."
"You don't need too many people to manage the solution once it's up and running."
"It's easy to use and very user-friendly."
"Having a virtualized infrastructure and being able to bring up Windows, Linux, and VMware within a virtualized environment brings more technology into the classroom. Without it, we couldn't do what we do."
"The provisioning setup of VMs is good."
"Most valuable features are quick provisioning, High Availability, and DRS for balancing workload."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"When you have to renew the licenses you sometimes have some trouble getting rid of the old one and reassigning it to the new one. That's an aspect that could run smoother and could be better."
"I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated."
"It could improve the hyper-conversions."
"We'd always like to see the price drop, but I realize that may not be realistic."
"When we talk about the overall private cloud stack, I would prefer for it be a lot more seamless."
"There is definitely room for improvement and that improvement should be in the licensing and the simplicity of procuring additional licenses or additional VMware products. Right now, it's very complex."
"The improvement is more from a licensing perspective rather than from a feature functionality perspective. There could be more flexibility and fewer model options to make it easier to sell. Today, there are so many different options available, and sometimes, it is not really clear which one is the right version or the right model to propose."
"The solution's technical team is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like to see AI in future releases."
"OS templates should be readily available, so there is no need to get an OS separately. Only the activation part should be different, which is not presently available due to the need to get the OS from a different location, then create VMs."
