"I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
"First, I like that this solution is fast. Second, I like the stability and flexibility."
"Instead of having a lot of people spend time doing manual tasks, it allows us to have dashboards and instantly show us any issues that we have, rather than trolling through log files."
"Based on those usage patterns, we can determine when our best maintenance times are and when we need to scale things up or down."
"I can go back a little bit, a week or a month, look at the history, to troubleshoot."
"It gives us a single pane of glass to look at whenever we're trying to troubleshoot issues, so we can go to one place as opposed to multiple places."
"The solution has helped us improve quality of service to users, by giving alerts when different performance metrics get outside of their normal ranges. For example, I've had times when there have been memory leaks in applications and this solution has shown me as my memory usage gets outside of normal bounds. I'm able to find that and resolve it before my customers get back to me to tell me that there's a problem."
"The dashboards and the interface are very easy to understand, very lively, and very dynamic."
"The reporting is a fantastic tool. It's a great tool for generating reports on different things, and for historically looking at performance metrics to help solve performance problems in an application stack."
"The initial setup is quite easy and straightforward. The majority of the time, implementing vROps is not time-consuming."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"Not highly customizable."
"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."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"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."
"They need to support more platforms."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"For the most part, we have found it to be user-friendly. It has gotten better over time since the first version of vROps that I used. The interface has really improved since then."
"An area for improvement would be application-level monitoring."
"I would say it's slow. The version we have right now is pretty robust in the sense that after you've installed it, and it's been running for awhile - it has to run for at least thirty days or longer. Then, it really gives you back meaningful data."
"One of the big challenge with vROps is there so much to learn as a user as you're doing it. It is also getting these dashboards in front of the executive committee, so they can actually see the environment."
"There are some problems with integration, particularly with Slack, though these have been improved in the latest release."
"We have started to do containers and I would like to see a feature to monitor our container infrastructure. If we can do our monitoring and performance troubleshooting of them through this tool, that would be a nice-to-have."
"It was not intuitive and user-friendly in the versions leading up to 6.5."
"We are looking to optimize all the parts. For example, vCenter can be fully deployed automatically, which is not the case with vROps. We can click some next buttons to integrate vCenter and would like these type of features for vROps, if possible."
