"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"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."
"The tool is a stable backup solution."
"The most beneficial aspect of Veeam ONE is the ability to track your company's growth on a month-to-month basis. With this tool, you can determine if you need to purchase more target storage or if you have enough. This is essential for budgeting purposes, as, without this information, you may discover too late that you require additional storage or that your cloud usage is not aligning with what you are being charged. Veeam ONE aids in forecasting and usage analysis, making it a valuable asset."
"The solution is stable."
"The stability of Veeam ONE is good."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The monthly reports come complete with graphs and summaries, it's really helpful."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to compare between AWS/Azure and the local cloud. When customers deploy something on the local cloud, with the same configuration that would apply to AWS or Azure, we can calculate the estimated cost difference between the local cloud and the public cloud. We do this kind of analysis for optimization and it is one of the best features of vROps."
"It is easy to see when something has gone wrong. We just have to go in and fix it. The reduced time it takes to spot and fix an issue has improved my organization. It saves the amount of resources that we use to fix an incident"
"I like the fact that the performance is good and that it makes it easy to consolidate all your servers."
"vRealize looks at your data over time, at the performance of the machine over time. It can make assessments of the machine's health, based on that, for example, if there are sudden changes... we actually found a machine that had been compromised because it started doing a lot more work after hours and at weird hours."
"A central dashboard for evaluating the health of our whole vCenter environment."
"If you use the vCenter stuff, it's okay... but vROps actually gives you more realistic numbers."
"We appreciate that this solution gives accurate reporting."
"It enables me to anticipate our system needs, to be able to know if a host is overloaded, to be able to move things off of it... vROps has really helped us focus in on where the trouble spots are, to be able to alleviate those problems before they even become problems, so it's great."
"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."
"I am highly dissatisfied with their customer support approach."
"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"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."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"One way the solution could be improved, in my opinion: management packs, more native management packs with API."
"The automation piece could be done simpler."
"The product's support services need improvement."
"It's complex to manage because there are a lot of options and metrics. It's complex when you want to do something very specific."
"We would like easier customer reporting, because to do customer reports, we have to do a lot of programming."
"The whole interface is like an information overload, it just bombards me with messages, warnings, and alerts. When I follow through on the majority of these messages, I realize that I'm really just wasting time because they're not really real problems."
"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."
"The biggest room for improvement would be the customizability of the alerting function. The emails that come through are somewhat difficult to tailor along with the information contained within them and how they are laid out."
