Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, IBM, Nutanix and others in Virtualization Management Tools."Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."
"One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data."
"For me, the most important feature is alerting."
"It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks."
"vMotion radically changes the way we think about how we can operate a large infrastructure, and notably, in terms of proactive maintenance."
"Our customers opt for virtualization because it's cheaper and better than non-virtualized solutions. VMware is probably the best on the market now."
"Its scalability potential is good."
"VMware vSphere is a stable platform. We never had any issues with VMware vSphere. Once you deploy it with a stable version of the server or the hardware, there's no issue at all."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vMotion."
"It stands out as a comprehensive and advantageous solution, providing a full package that effectively caters to our needs for managing our private cloud."
"There are no issues with the level of scalability you can achieve."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to revert to previous snapshots during testing of various guest and application deployments."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"Veeam ONE should make available notifications through SMS."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"Not highly customizable."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
"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."
"Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment."
"It could be more composable. At present, a fluid pool is not available to us. It would be great to have the flexibility."
"There are some challenges around ESXi hosts — converting them into VMs."
"On the older version of VMware vSphere, possibly version four, we had a feature that allowed us to backup Ziploc machines. It has not been available in the newer version such as six or seven. I have been looking for another solution to accomplish the backups but they should bring back this plugin-type tool to allow older backup capabilities."
"The documentation could be improved. It does not help me to show the client the value of going with VMware vSphere rather than an open source or cheaper solution."
"They can maybe review its price. They can also consider offering a free public version for development for a certain number of users."
"The solution should be more secure."
"There is room for improvement in Google Cloud. The reason thing there was, like, when I type something in the terminal and then immediately, I need to go to edit the certain like file for Node.js, for the server, or for Kubernetes. So I have to do it from the terminal to the editor."
"I would like to start to using NSX in the next release."
