"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"For me, the most important feature is alerting."
"One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me."
"It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks."
"We use vRealize Operations Manager primarily for capacity management within our environment."
"The stability in vRealize has been great. We've had no outages nor impacts. The upgrade process has been great so far."
"The monitoring and verification functionalities were the most useful features."
"The main point of installing, deploying, and troubleshooting with vRealize Operations is to provide visual dashboards to ensure that the entire workload is functioning properly."
"Avoiding problems in the monitoring area is our strength. We use real-time monitoring models and real-time monitoring to do this. We also provide other capabilities, such as seeing changes in the environment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to check the right-sizing of a machine because that way I can assign the real resources that are needed."
"The performance for monitoring the VM is very good. Additionally, the solution is flexible."
"There are many valuable features. The top feature is historical trending analysis and future workload predictions. There's a workload forecaster/predictor model in there and it's very helpful for capacity planning."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"The pricing is very high."
"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."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see the solution provide auto resolution and auto relocation of resources."
"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."
"Veeam ONE should improve its UI."
"In the beginning, I picked up an implementation that had been designed wrong from the ground up."
"There is a learning curve because it's a complex program. There is a lot to consume in terms of the metrics inside of it. That's the biggest hurdle: trying to understand all the places to go look."
"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."
"For me, the technical support is the biggest problem. I've been working with them since 2016 and in the first years their response was faster than it is today. That is a problem. Also, I need to put together and send them a lot of information. And then I wait one day, two days. The support has been getting worse over the last few years. They need to improve it."
"In vROps, I would like to have both automation and monitoring together, not two separate things you have to buy. I want them included in one package, one installation."
"If I had a container solution deployed on top of a VMware infrastructure, or outside as well, it would be really helpful."
"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."
"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."
