Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, IBM, Nutanix and others in Virtualization Management Tools."The most beneficial aspect of Veeam ONE is the ability to track your company's growth on a month-to-month basis. With this tool, you can determine if you need to purchase more target storage or if you have enough. This is essential for budgeting purposes, as, without this information, you may discover too late that you require additional storage or that your cloud usage is not aligning with what you are being charged. Veeam ONE aids in forecasting and usage analysis, making it a valuable asset."
"One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"As a manager, I find Veeam One's reporting service to be very helpful."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"I like the tool's backup."
"Most valuable features of vSphere 6.7, for us, at the management level would be: VCHA is a nice redundancy feature that they added in v6.7. I like the quality of life improvements with the VMFS-6 for using auto UNMAP on the data stores. And we really appreciate the improvements to the Clarity UI where we can manage Update Manager (VUM) and our vSAN stack within the modern interface."
"Basic hypervisor functions with HA."
"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."
"It's easy to use and very user-friendly."
"It's much more stable than other products. It is scalable and easy to implement as well."
"This solution is very stable. It's scalable and simple to set up."
"In terms of overall features, vSphere's stability stands out on top. Not only is it highly stable, but we're also able to have a quick backup server on standby."
"The tool makes virtualization easy. It was free, and we could profit from its GUI. It helps to manage VMs easily."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
"Veeam ONE could improve by having capacity planning, intelligent automatization, and ransomware."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."
"Veeam ONE should improve its UI."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"We have had some problems setting up the monitoring with vSphere. The process could be simplified."
"The license fee could be more affordable."
"Customer support takes a long time to respond."
"I would like to see a little bit more visibility regarding errors. When an error does occur, there are times where it says "Unknown error" or something to that effect, and it doesn't necessarily give you a lot of metrics. If you go online and you give a description of it, normally the VMware forums can help you find out what it is, but I'd like to see a little bit more visibility from the software itself regarding what's going on: "This went wrong, this is why.""
"The price could be better. The licensing is definitely expensive and tech support is sometimes frustrating."
"The support is good, but it's slow."
"There are some challenges around ESXi hosts — converting them into VMs."
"In the past, little changes have broken things in vSphere. Going from 6.0, which worked perfectly fine on the Mac Pro, there were certain changes in hardware drivers, when 6.5 came out. Some were no longer present or had been deprecated. As a result, it didn't work on the Mac Pro anymore, which was business critical."
