"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."
"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."
"It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"The solution is stable."
"Its scalability potential is good."
"Reduces downtime."
"The scalability of the solution is good. You can scale up to maximum levels."
"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."
"The most valuable feature would be the slight changes they've made to VMFork instant cloning, in which they have abstracted out the parent-child relationship in cloning, in which certain features, like HA and DRS, are now usable on that parent virtual machine. That is wildly amazing and something that wasn't available until 6.7."
"The web console is the most valuable feature for me. Because no matter what happens with the server, I can still get to it with the web console."
"I think that the solution is perfect. It's the best on the market."
"Virtualization, VDI and application publishing are the most valuable features of VMware vSphere."
"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."
"Its reporting feature could be better."
"Veeam ONE should improve its UI."
"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."
"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."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
"Sometimes the solution give reports that are confusing and has errors. So the integration of the full solution with the resolution of resolving the error should be added in the next release.The solution should also provide more customization, automation, better documentation."
"The biggest thing to improve is to have more self-service in the portals. I would like to receive more help through the web interface."
"We want to see improvement from VMware with security. We want minimal downtime. We want automation. We want to deploy more efficiently."
"There are some challenges around ESXi hosts — converting them into VMs."
"The setup is easy. However, the configuration expansion can be difficult. The full implementation took three to four days. This included the move from physical servers to virtual ones."
"The licensing costs are expensive and most of the important features require a license."
"The initial setup is quite complex."
"The solution is stable. It has some small bugs which are not influencing the main functions but every software has some bugs."
"We stopped using a lot of cloud services. However, I see that VMware has integrated with Amazon Cloud. We will now to have to move everything to the cloud."
