"For me, the most important feature is alerting."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"I think Veeam ONE is a good product to supervise and monitor infrastructure and for backup purposes."
"One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data."
"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"The solution is stable."
"We use the product to minimize downtime, as well as be in a position to plan for future growth."
"One of the best features is the monitoring. It gives you proactive recommendations, based on the information that you have. It recommends changes. For example, if an ESX service is heavily loaded, it will tell you to make some changes, such as storage optimizations. Every tool does monitoring, but this one gives you more proactive monitoring, with the recommendations and actions that are needed."
"It does exactly what I program it to do at this point, which is to tell me if I've got machines running out of disk space or over-utilizing CPU or memory. The monitoring component of it is the most valuable feature."
"For scalability, vROps has functionality where you can add remote collectors and remote data collectors, databases."
"The dashboards are really good. They give you a glimpse of what is really going on in your virtualized environment. The ability to create customized dashboards based on your needs is also great."
"It has helped improve the quality of service to users. It's made sure that we don't have servers that are over-subscribed with storage that starts to end up being at the minimalist points."
"It has enhanced our ability to troubleshoot and effectively manage our solutions to understand what clusters are having issues and diagnose those programs right away, so we can be proactive."
"Its job automation features and reporting capabilities are unique and valuable."
"The support, reporting part and customization should all be improved."
"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
"They need to support more platforms."
"Sometimes the solution give reports that are confusing and has errors. So the integration of the full solution with the resolution of resolving the error should be added in the next release.The solution should also provide more customization, automation, better documentation."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"I get in to code whatever I need and then get out. So perhaps they could support different coding languages. I know that JavaScript is their primary "cash cow" but I'd like to see c#, personally. I'd like to see different capabilities for adding code."
"It is sometimes quite hard to use. If I need details, there is a huge amount of information that I need to review. It isn't a three-click solution."
"They should include an integration feature through which we can connect to different vendors by installing a small plugin."
"From a personal perspective, I would like it made clearer what options are available in the suite that the customer is not using."
"There is a lot of stuff which is hard to read and understand. I must do a lot of research to understand what is going on with the hardware."
"Technical support is good, once you pass the first level."
"It would be nice if it could tell me more about my hardware, if there were any updates on the network that should be deployed, if some firmware needs to be deployed on the server, etc."
"Adding some intelligence to VMware Aria Operations, such as event correlation, and some level of AI apps will improve the solution, similar to what we see with the more advanced monitoring solutions that we don't currently have."
