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 product is very straightforward and very easy to use from the client-side."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"I like the tool's backup."
"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."
"Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."
"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."
"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
"Technical support is very good. They are very helpful."
"The solution is also very simple and efficient to manage. Features that have made it simple and easy to manage include the newer VAMI for the V-center appliance, it's very easy to see what version we are at, and very easy to upgrade to the next version. The fact that we can now use VCHA at the appliance level just decreases our chance of having an outage because so many of our customers rely on the API interface for V-center."
"The solution allows for very good virtualization."
"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."
"The most valuable feature would be enhanced, what we call, Linked Mode to link our disaster recovery site to our primary site across different vCenters, without being required to be broken apart. Meaning, we have identity management and the actual vCenter servers split. We can actually do embedded now, thanks to vSphere 6.7."
"Provides good backup to our servers."
"It helps us with TCO."
"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."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."
"Veeam ONE should make available notifications through SMS."
"The reports are basic and not customizable, making it challenging to get detailed insights."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user."
"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."
"Given that I've been using version seven, it seems that some of the bugs I faced during that version have already been addressed in subsequent updates. Although I haven't personally tested them yet, it appears that these issues have been resolved. In version seven, there was a problem with the network interface not responding due to certain configurations not being properly filtered. However, in version eight, this requirement has been minimized, so the mentioned bug is less likely to occur. Instead of solely addressing these fixes in newer versions, it might be beneficial for them to consider applying these improvements to the older versions as well. This approach could prevent users from feeling compelled to upgrade to version eight solely to avoid encountering the issue, and instead provide updates for version seven users."
"Here in Egypt, we would like everything free. So if you give us the license for free, we would be thrilled."
"The latest version of the solution has a few bugs."
"The only concern that I have with VMware is the support. It is very limited and can be better."
"There should be a bit more flexibility in terms of the hardware we can use with the product."
"The licensing costs are expensive and most of the important features require a license."
"An area for improvement is that when comparing VMware to Nutanix, Nutanix has higher availability, like clustering for virtual machines. That is a good idea and VMware could profit from something like that for higher availability installations."
"The way that vSphere manages the alerts on the data machine is not easy to configure."
