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 really easy and straightforward to use."
"The solution is stable."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
"I think Veeam ONE is a good product to supervise and monitor infrastructure and for backup purposes."
"The solution is simple to use."
"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."
"It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks."
"Tech support is very knowledgeable."
"The installation process is very straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the resilience of the solution and vMotion."
"The most valuable features for us are DRS, VMotion, and, of course, some of the analytics that we were able to define to quantify our workloads and tell us how we are able to make our data center more efficient."
"I use the ESXi a lot for my users to create their own templates and control their own VMs without my interaction."
"Valuable features include VHA, DRS, VMotion, and redundancy and failover; any DR situation."
"The scalability has been good."
"We could easily move workloads from on-premises to the cloud and vice versa if we were running on-premises and cloud, which is one of the most important points in the new releases, in particular."
"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
"When you have to renew the licenses you sometimes have some trouble getting rid of the old one and reassigning it to the new one. That's an aspect that could run smoother and could be better."
"The solution could improve the performance. We are not able to check the status of any system. Additionally, if there was an option to monitor server clusters it would be helpful."
"Two improvements that I would like to see are higher resolution console modes for guests and easier switching between consoles."
"When I use VMware and Citrix there are conflicts."
"I would like to see more software as a service solutions."
"OS templates should be readily available, so there is no need to get an OS separately. Only the activation part should be different, which is not presently available due to the need to get the OS from a different location, then create VMs."
"The licensing costs are expensive and most of the important features require a license."
"When it comes to cross-regional (e.g., someone in the US managing the China vSphere implementations), it can be a somewhat slow. I would recommend increasing the speed. While there has already been improvement there, I would like to see more."
"The UI of VMware could use some improvements, especially in dark mode."
"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."
