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, Nutanix, IBM and others in Virtualization Management Tools."I like the backup and backup copy features."
"The solution is really easy and straightforward to use."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"First, I like that this solution is fast. Second, I like the stability and flexibility."
"I think Veeam ONE is a good product to supervise and monitor infrastructure and for backup purposes."
"The tool is a stable backup solution."
"You see more responsiveness, especially now with having the HTML5 client. It feels like a much snappier product."
"The UI is very intuitive, you don't have to spend hours before you figure it out. All in all, compared to other environments, like Hyper-V, we find vSphere a lot more user-friendly and intuitive to use."
"The product offers good stability."
"The most valuable feature is being able to VMotion and migrate easily, moving machines around on the host. I know DRS will take care of a lot about that, but there's still some manual intervention here and there, so the flexibility of it has been really good."
"VMware vSphere has useful tools for management and support."
"vMotion is one of the most useful features, which helps to provide both flexibility and High Availability. With new versions of vSphere and vCenter, it is still improving (e.g., vMotion across vCenter Servers and virtual switches)."
"We use it to virtualize our server infrastructure. Virtualization has made it easier for us to manage our environment. We can manage it from location, the vSphere web client."
"Since we have an internal cloud, suddenly people may require 1000 or 2000 VMS in something. We have options to analyze and make sure we have enough scalability."
"Agent backups could be better. I have many problems with agent backups, particularly on Linux and MySQL databases. MySQL works well with Microsoft products but not with other products. The database backups are not working correctly, and we are losing business. I am not getting any support; administration is also a significant problem."
"One common customer complaint is that Veeam, not just Veeam ONE, has become increasingly complex over time. This means that it is now very feature-rich, which can be challenging for some users to navigate and understand. There is a need for more education on how to use the GUI and all of the available features. Even regular users of Veeam may struggle to utilize the new features, which makes it more challenging for backup administrators to manage their backups. The platform is not becoming simpler, but rather, it is becoming more complicated over time."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"Veeam ONE should make available notifications through SMS."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"There could be an inbuilt dashboard for reporting purposes."
"They need to stop pushing code out so fast."
"I'd like to get rid of the Flash Client. There are still some things we need to go in there and use it for, some plugins and other things aren't supported in the HTML5."
"It is not easy to upgrade VMware vSphere from an old version to a new version."
"Generally, the user interface needs to be improved for non-technical people."
"The initial setup could be better. It manages all the setups, but it's not very straightforward, and it takes time."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The technical support could improve by being a little faster."
