Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Virtualization Management Tools."I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."
"The solution is really easy and straightforward to use."
"I think Veeam ONE is great as it is, it does everything I need."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"For me, the most important feature is alerting."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"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."
"We use it to virtualize our server infrastructure. Virtualization has made it easier for us to manage our environment. We can manage it from location, the vSphere web client."
"The solution allows for very good virtualization."
"We could easily move workloads from on-premises to the cloud and vice versa if we were running on-premises and cloud, which is one of the most important points in the new releases, in particular."
"VMware vSphere is the best private-cloud solution."
"It is a powerful solution that enables us to take a snapshot and clone any version of machine."
"Some of the most valuable features are: the ability to Snapshot so that when we do updates we have a layer of protection for simplified rollback; the replication that we can leverage for data center failures and data center downtime; the ease of migrating workloads from physical device to physical device for maintenance that we have to do on physical servers."
"Provides good backup to our servers."
"It is a single pane of glass that lets you access your hosts and VMs."
"The pricing is very high."
"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights."
"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."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"Its reporting feature could be better."
"Veeam ONE should make available notifications through SMS."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"NSX is a product of VMware vSphere and it would be nice to see the solution have full integration capabilities with it."
"They have multiple components required for the setup. It would be better to integrate it into one solution, especially for small business companies."
"Lacks a simplified integration with services automation."
"In the past, little changes have broken things in vSphere. Going from 6.0, which worked perfectly fine on the Mac Pro, there were certain changes in hardware drivers, when 6.5 came out. Some were no longer present or had been deprecated. As a result, it didn't work on the Mac Pro anymore, which was business critical."
"The monitoring is not good in vSphere, many times you have latency or you cannot find what you want. The events should be improved."
"On Vista, there should be a lot more new features. We would like to see more security features to harden our environment in the future."
"It is not easy to upgrade VMware vSphere from an old version to a new version."
"The setup is easy. However, the configuration expansion can be difficult. The full implementation took three to four days. This included the move from physical servers to virtual ones."
