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 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."
"I like the backup and backup copy features."
"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"Our customers opt for virtualization because it's cheaper and better than non-virtualized solutions. VMware is probably the best on the market now."
"This product is useful for running multiple virtual machines from a single server so that people can utilize the hardware resources in their organization. Its ability for backups is also valuable. In case of a disaster, you can recover the entire server from the images. It is easy to use. In terms of features, whatever they are providing is more than sufficient for us. We are not exploiting this product up to a hundred percent."
"I like the standard features."
"Since it is riding inside of a multi-hardware environment, downtime is virtually nothing."
"It gives us the ability to be running over 250+ VMs on five physical hosts and in various flavours of guest OSs."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to revert to previous snapshots during testing of various guest and application deployments."
"An easy way of providing near-zero downtime services, the operation of the instances between clustered services, and providing the projected SLA for our customers."
"Basic hypervisor functions with HA."
"Backup management features are crucial for ensuring the reliability and automation of backup processes."
"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."
"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."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"The reports are basic and not customizable, making it challenging to get detailed insights."
"Veeam ONE should improve its UI."
"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."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"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."
"My biggest suggestion would be some kind of a mechanism - and it's almost an AI-type thing, a Siri/Cortana - for where to find how to do certain things. If there was the ability to just type in a basic question and say, "How do I change the VM settings for this?" and it could bring me right there, that would be really awesome."
"Monitoring information could always be improved."
"Generally, the user interface needs to be improved for non-technical people."
"There was a time we lost the password for the ESXi and we had to do a hardware reset. At this point, we had to fill up the ESXi from the bottom up. I am not sure if there was another solution to this problem but it took a long time."
"I would like to see VMware vSphere provide a centralized patch service on the VMware level, regardless of your operating systems."
"the HTML version of things needs to get a little bit better. The vSphere side of things gets a little difficult to manage; right-click, in some browsers, doesn't work as well as it used to. I'm seeing a little bit of general latency that we didn't used to get with the thick client, although it's getting there."
"The solution's technical team is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
