"Veeam ONE is a very good management product...The technical support is very good, and I think it's one of the best. The response time is very quick."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"The solution offers a very straightforward setup."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
"I like the tool's backup."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"The monthly reports come complete with graphs and summaries, it's really helpful."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"It helps an organization quickly create test and dev environments for developers to come up with new software and patch tests."
"The capacity planning is one of the most valuable features. That is brilliant."
"Their technical support is good. We haven't had too much use for them."
"With this solution, we are able to see where problems are happening quickly and improve turnaround time, which matters to us."
"It visualizes stuff better, so we can pinpoint or see problems"
"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."
"We went from using industry standard KPIs to going to a complete on-demand model based on the algorithms from vRealize Operations. It has enabled us to drive more utilization out of our existing compute infrastructure to the point where, for a period of six months, we didn't purchase a single server or any additional compute. We were able to continue to sweat our existing assets."
"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've never considered what improvements Veeam needs, and I haven't asked our customers if there is any room for improvement. As the manager, I only see the reports."
"There is a lot of information, so maybe the dashboards could consolidate it."
"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."
"The reports are basic and not customizable, making it challenging to get detailed insights."
"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."
"It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
"One common customer complaint is that Veeam, not just Veeam ONE, has become increasingly complex over time. This means that it is now very feature-rich, which can be challenging for some users to navigate and understand. There is a need for more education on how to use the GUI and all of the available features. Even regular users of Veeam may struggle to utilize the new features, which makes it more challenging for backup administrators to manage their backups. The platform is not becoming simpler, but rather, it is becoming more complicated over time."
"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights."
"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."
"When it comes to policies, they need to fine tune things to make it easier. It is a bit difficult setting up policies."
"Monitoring is useful but if the solution can't automate or function without my input, it's a waste of my time. That's where I found out there are some issues with this product, there are elements that are not as intuitive as they could or should be."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved or added to VMware vRealize Operations (vROps), from my experience, it needs more work in the ITSM space because my company never used it as an IT service management tool."
"I would like to see more features, especially in the way of Flash to HTML5."
"Sometimes what a customer sees as a need for improvement could be incorrect sizing or a result of a specific deployment. So usually, the things we want are a more frequent sampling of the various metrics and the like."
"It is user-friendly although there's always room for improvement. In the beginning, it was about figuring out where you can find what, but once you know it, it becomes easier to navigate."
