"The solution's customer service is good."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"For me, the most important feature is alerting."
"I think Veeam ONE is a good product to supervise and monitor infrastructure and for backup purposes."
"It is easy to set up initially."
"If the network goes down between our office and one of our data centers then it is able to detect that. It will provide you ways to get a deeper understanding of the issues, and it will suggest resolutions."
"The scalability is great. We have never had any issues with it being unable to size properly in our environment."
"It gives us a pane of glass to troubleshoot all our VMware technologies in one place."
"Alerts and monitoring were most valuable. It was also pretty user-friendly and interactive. I was able to generate good reports in PDF and HTML formats, which was really helpful."
"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring. It's much easier to show problems to users. If someone comes and says, “My server is slow,” I can show them exactly what's happening with the server over time and at that exact moment as well."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. We spent a few days setting it up, then it was up and running."
"Its ability to resolve an issue from within the application rather than going somewhere else to resolve it."
"The most valuable features of VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) are capacity and performance management."
"Not highly customizable."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"The pricing is very high."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
"It would be great if Veeam ONE had a business hour reporting feature because sometimes a client would want to know what workers do during business hours and outside of business hours. This type of report will give you the added benefit when you're scaling up and scaling down in the cloud, for example, if I wanted to swap hot and cold storage during specific hours to save on cost. Business hour reporting in Veeam ONE will give you a lot of benefits and added value. Scalability needs to be improved in the solution."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"They should have more automation features for database management."
"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."
"I rated this solution a nine because I haven't had any issues with it and it has been intuitive and easy to use. I don't know it well enough to give it a ten."
"The solution can improve by offering more flexible integration with other platforms or products, such as Hyper-V or Azure. Not everyone uses VMware. It would be beneficial to have a more open-source concept for integration, creating more visibility across multiple clouds."
"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."
"If I had a container solution deployed on top of a VMware infrastructure, or outside as well, it would be really helpful."
"We would like to have monitoring for containers."
"They should make it easier to find those granular things that you're always looking for. You're always running into a situation where you want to use the tool to figure out a problem, but the amount of effort needed to delve into vROps and find the exact metric you're looking for is always so difficult."
