"The monthly reports come complete with graphs and summaries, it's really helpful."
"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The stability of Veeam ONE is good."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The scalability options are quite good with VMware vRealize Operations (vROps), and all of the features are useful and relevant to us."
"VMware provides good support. We are a GSS customer which means that we have global support with a dedicated engineer from VMware's side so we have no issues with support."
"I rated this solution an eight because it's intuitive and easy to use. The features that it'll bring us are tremendous"
"It's valuable because it helps us look at our performance statistics for our environment."
"Right now I'm working with a lot of other products. We're in the process of flushing out our old HPE system and moving everything over. A lot of the automation that we do, and emailing, sending out customer notices, we've been able to take that over from the HPE Operations Orchestration, and the old stack, and automate it into vRO very quickly."
"From a manager's standpoint it's the dashboards. To be able to quickly and easily see what's going on in our environment, from my perspective."
"I like the monitoring aspect. One of the biggest things in our environment is being able to see what the entire vCenter environment looks like. The health status, being able to determine when we're having issues with resources, utilization, memory, or CPU."
"We appreciate that this solution gives accurate reporting."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
"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."
"Veeam ONE should improve its UI."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."
"Veeam ONE could improve by having capacity planning, intelligent automatization, and ransomware."
"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."
"It's complex and not intuitive. It has a long learning process. It can be frustrating trying to get the correct information from it."
"It can be user-friendly once you get the dashboard set up but it can be complicated to get the information you want, the way you want it. Finally, if there were an easier way to share dashboards, that would be a big one."
"I would like to see multi-cloud support. It would be nice to see analytics not only on-prem but on VMWare Cloud on AWS. I think that's in the roadmap."
"User-friendly? It could probably use a little work there. It is something of a beast. There's a lot that it can do and getting in there and getting everything working the way you want it to can be challenging."
"Some of the more advanced stuff takes a bit of time to dig into it. It takes a little longer to setup if you want really detailed stuff. They could make the learning curve smoother."
"We have an Enterprise Plus license, so there's a long list of stuff that you get with the Enterprise Plus license, and I'd like to see a better integration of all the vRealize components."
"The descriptions are not quite as user-friendly as I would like but, for the most, it's part pretty user-friendly. They could also improve on the badging nomenclature they have for batches in the system, for determining the health of a certain aspect of the systems."
"Sometimes it's difficult to find some features like they were in previous versions."
