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."Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The monthly reports come complete with graphs and summaries, it's really helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"I think Veeam ONE is a good product to supervise and monitor infrastructure and for backup purposes."
"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
"It is highly scalable. We need to scale out and up, and we can do that with vSphere. We can easily add more storage, drives, or memory."
"It is the number one virtualization-layer platform available, and a lot of people trust it."
"vRealize Operations Manager is the most valuable feature, but it is not embedded in vSphere; it is a part of vSphere. It is used for forecasting and checking the consumption of CPU, memory, and other resources. It has the capability to do the forecast based on the history and give advice on consumption. VMware vSphere is easy to use and easy to implement. Its learning curve is not sharp. Any engineer with little or medium knowledge of hypervisors and virtualizations can implement vSphere with a few clicks."
"The free ESXi hypervisor was a great way to get started, as it allowed us to introduce virtual machines so that users could start to experience the advantages."
"We have the possibility to move workloads to different locations."
"The fact that you can use all the CPU and memory power that the server can provide is most valuable. In a physical server, you might end up not using all the physical resources. There are a lot of benefits, such as flexibility and mobility, in virtualizing computes."
"Technical support is very good. They are very helpful."
"VMotion is the biggest feature. It gives us the ability to move things on the fly."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"It would be great if Veeam ONE had a business hour reporting feature because sometimes a client would want to know what workers do during business hours and outside of business hours. This type of report will give you the added benefit when you're scaling up and scaling down in the cloud, for example, if I wanted to swap hot and cold storage during specific hours to save on cost. Business hour reporting in Veeam ONE will give you a lot of benefits and added value. Scalability needs to be improved in the solution."
"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 would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"Its reporting feature could be better."
"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."
"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."
"It needs to integrate better between multiple modules."
"Sometimes you can't find items and you need to log onto different physical servers to do technical tasks. I don't fully understand why this is the case."
"Technical support is not that great. It is too slow."
"The support for VMware vSphere can be fast or it can be slow. Recently it has been slow, they need to decrease the wait time and quality of their support."
"I would like to see VDP and other features included to back up the VMs in a native manner."
"The price could be better. The licensing is definitely expensive and tech support is sometimes frustrating."
"The licensing costs for the solution are quite high."
"I would suggest that the tool reconsider its pricing strategy. The recent price hikes could potentially pose a problem for VMware in the future. The recent price increases, especially since Broadcom acquired them, seem excessive. There are reports of businesses experiencing massive price hikes, sometimes as much as 10-30 times higher. This is causing smaller businesses to consider exiting the space altogether."
