"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."
"Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."
"The best feature of Veeam ONE to me is the infrastructure analysis that you can perform before deploying a backup environment. You can put in your backup requirements, for example, repository files and improvements on your VMware side, to ensure that it runs optimally. Pricing for Veeam ONE is also cheaper than VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) which is a direct competitor in the ops space, so this is another advantage of the solution."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
"The stability of Veeam ONE is good."
"Veeam One is a centralized management and centralized reporting tool. The tool has supportive infrastructure to create specialised applications and some server application. You can add all the resources and infrastructure. You will get the reports, can easily manage and monitor any feature."
"One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data."
"The most valuable features are the health tree and the alerts that tell us what's going on from a glance at the dashboard. As far as showing us where the problems are, what's useful is that it gives us suggested solutions to fix them, so that's helpful."
"The most valuable features are the alerts and dashboard, and that the product is simple to use, configure, and upgrade."
"The most valuable feature is that everything is integrated for monitoring, performance, and troubleshooting."
"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."
"It is intuitive and user-friendly. It is easy to follow and the reporting engine is easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is the trending analysis of our environment to make capacity-planning decisions, in addition to providing real-time analysis of events."
"It allows for a bit more transparency regarding consumption and it also helps us plan ahead."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The platform and add-on solutions are straightforward."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"If you don't have technical knowledge about these services, monitoring the virtual machines is hard."
"When you have to renew the licenses you sometimes have some trouble getting rid of the old one and reassigning it to the new one. That's an aspect that could run smoother and could be better."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"Not highly customizable."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"Veeam ONE could improve by having capacity planning, intelligent automatization, and ransomware."
"Lately, the chargeback site has improved, but it could be simpler. You need to create your own dashboards. It should be simple to get a virtual machine and break down the compute and storage costs."
"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."
"vROps has a hypervisor level of monitoring going on in our data center. We are using other products, like SolarWinds, to have a service and OS-level of monitoring. Because we are using two solutions simultaneously for different levels of monitoring, it would be really nice in the future to have a service monitoring or OS-level of monitoring in vROps, e.g., adding the support online for monitoring services, like Linux services, Linux Databases, and Linux servers as well as Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Active Directory, or other Microsoft services, since we use them a lot. It would definitely help us in the future if vROps implemented this feature."
"When you deploy it as a single node, it's more stable than if you have multiple nodes. We've had some issues with this."
"If I could integrate with vCenter with vROps, then I could execute more things by managing vSphere from within vROps. That would be great."
"I sure don't find the solution to be intuitive or user-friendly. It takes a lot of time to get familiar with the interface. You've got to spend a lot of time poking around there, it's not very user-friendly. There have been improvements over the versions but, even still, there is a pretty steep learning curve for the product, in my opinion. In the latest and greatest version, there has been quite a bit of a step up from the last version, as far as the user interface goes. they are making improvements. So that's positive."
"Certificate Management should be simplified for non-technical staff members."
"VMware could improve the way VROps forwards critical alerts to Microsoft Teams."
