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 solution is quite stable."
"I like the backup and backup copy features."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"I like the tool's backup."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."
"VMware vSphere allows you to run multiple virtual machines."
"I don't see any challenges in using this product."
"I like the capability of vMotion, DRS, high availability, and resource distribution."
"It is a very mature solution that is easy to use and flexible."
"I like the capability of logging into one system, then being able to shift over to another system within that single pane of glass."
"being able to manage a lot of servers in one pane of glass makes things a lot simpler. Basically, a lot of things just happen in one area. You can roll things over, move things around more dynamically, without having to hit multiple systems."
"The tool makes virtualization easy. It was free, and we could profit from its GUI. It helps to manage VMs easily."
"We are able to increase the density of the virtualized servers and, with the increased density we have a lot of page sharing as well as memory sharing."
"Its reporting feature could be better."
"For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"Veeam ONE could improve by having capacity planning, intelligent automatization, and ransomware."
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
"The reports are basic and not customizable, making it challenging to get detailed insights."
"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
"A fully **automatic** and lightweight Virtual Center. Another time this has a huge improvement in last releases. However, a more automatic and simple deployment is required."
"The installation can take a long time, they need to improve on the simplicity and length of the installation."
"In the next release, I would like to see programming. I'd like to see a lot more about customization for people who want to customize programming API, SDK."
"This solution should have a better backup policy. Furthermore, there should be an ability to expose the universal machine. In the current version, you need to shutdown and use an offline virtual machine to backup."
"The price is a big issue for us because the market is very competitive in our country, so we can't really push our VMware vSphere products because the customers will prefer to use something cheaper."
"The biggest problem in this solution is the incompatibility of some of the features with some of the drivers installed on servers. For example, if I want to install vSphere on an HPE server, the driver is really different from a Dell server or a Fujitsu server. I need to download different drivers and install them manually, which can be improved by VMware. They can offer a special image to match different servers. We face different problems when we install vSphere on an ESXi server and have different drivers on the storage. ESXi cannot detect different kinds of storage, and they should improve this. We updated our existing version to vSphere 7 in a private environment, but it seems that this version is not very stable. We are facing issues with restarting the host. In earlier versions, such as vSphere 6 or 6.5, we didn't have any such problems. It would be good if VMware can offer specific applications for mobiles to enable us to control the management of all servers by mobile. They should also improve the vCenter GUI because it is currently not compatible, and there are a lot of problems. Some of the options do not appear well in the browser. VMware should spend more time resolving the problems in the GUI."
"I recommend that VMware vSphere continue to release more features."
"I would like to see support for endpoint virtualization."
