We performed a comparison between Densify, Veeam ONE, and VMware Aria Operations based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, IBM, Nutanix and others in Virtualization Management Tools.
"I would say that the initial thing is that it provides us with a technological basis to expand capacity management beyond Excel."
"The solution's tech support is excellent."
"Densify's ability to aggregate multiple on-premise vCenters and multiple cloud accounts, gives it a level of visibility not found in many places."
"The ability to increase server density inside of my environment, which has helped me drive reduction in costs."
"One would be the automatic rebalancing of the environment. That was one feature which helped. With that, we could improve our efficiency of our VMware infrastructure."
"The Control Console is an incredible way to give a quick view of current capacity utilization allowing technical people to drill down quickly and allowing business/management people to get a quick overview of the environment."
"The tool will come back and tell us that we can operate with 1,000 minutes as an example, save 90% on the contractual rate and not run into any issues."
"The Densify Control Console, and Environment Status."
"The solution is really easy and straightforward to use."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The tool is a stable backup solution."
"I think Veeam ONE is a good product to supervise and monitor infrastructure and for backup purposes."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Based on those usage patterns, we can determine when our best maintenance times are and when we need to scale things up or down."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the single pane of glass so we can see all our vCenters, all our machines, all our storage arrays. We can see if there are alerts in any of these systems, and follow up on that alert and see if it's impacting just that area or if there is a bigger problem behind it."
"It allows for a bit more transparency regarding consumption and it also helps us plan ahead."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. We spent a few days setting it up, then it was up and running."
"The automation brings insight into how we will grow. I can look at it, then make my recommendations on what equipment we need to do for the next fiscal year."
"The vRO (using Functional Programming of Javascript) is a hand-down of the favorite component of this suite."
"The most valuables features are the collection of assets, security, and configuration data settings from each networked virtual environment in the system."
"Some parts of the interface are rather complex and require a bit of time to navigate, but this has never stopped us as a Densify advisor is readily available to help with our "how to" queries."
"The solution's stability is the primary concern for me."
"A closer integration to the service management processes."
"It seems that the mechanism for integration is, it goes so far but I think there could be some standard integration to normal remedy service now etc. I think that should be out of the box."
"Unfortunately the tools and mechanisms which really came to maturity in the cloud, and were not mainstream on-premise, are still not implemented."
"Normalization of CPU utilization is required. At present, the data is available based on entitlement level."
"Initially we talked about some custom reporting, wherein our customer expected certain reports on a few areas, like how the storage is allocated, how the network performance is doing, and how the network utilization is happening for a virtual machine."
"In terms of integration, the tool has great data. However, it's not always meaningful because the true business attributes of how most Fortune 500 companies operate are not maintaining in one tool, they're in a school of many tools."
"It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"Veeam ONE could be improved if it had a better data recovery feature."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user."
"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."
"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."
"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."
"I would like more application dashboards to be available."
"The solution could improve by having more APIs, customized alerts, and documentation."
"Enhancing automation features without interruption would be beneficial."
"With our environment right now, stability is the one sticking point. There hasn't been a great deal of handholding in between the different versions, so we've run into problems with there being what I would call "more than just the average change between versions" and it's caused a loss of data for us in the past."
"I rated this solution an eight and not a ten because we work to give a multi-tenant product to our customers and vROps doesn't meet our needs."
"I would like to go back in history on the performance data and blank out some of that performance data so that it isn't used in calculations."
"Technical support is normally good but there is sometimes a delay in their response."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. From the web interface, you can literally just go straight into actually installing vROps with very little previous knowledge required to get it up and running."
