"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"I like the tool's backup."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
"They keep improving and updating their apps over time."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with the vSphere Client and being able to go quickly back and forth between an incident within the vSphere interface and the actual drilling into it within vROps, to identify problems."
"This solution has improved my organization by claiming back resources that have been wasted on applications or on servers that just didn't need them. Having a tool that shows that information on a pretty regular basis has been very helpful."
"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."
"The one that comes to mind is the ability for us to see how our VDI environment."
"The most valuable features are the Heat Maps, and the various graphs and reporting features it has."
"VMware provides good support. We are a GSS customer which means that we have global support with a dedicated engineer from VMware's side so we have no issues with support."
"We like that we are able to combine all infrastructure monitoring using this solution, meaning we receive analytics from across our whole network."
"It would be great if Veeam ONE had a business hour reporting feature because sometimes a client would want to know what workers do during business hours and outside of business hours. This type of report will give you the added benefit when you're scaling up and scaling down in the cloud, for example, if I wanted to swap hot and cold storage during specific hours to save on cost. Business hour reporting in Veeam ONE will give you a lot of benefits and added value. Scalability needs to be improved in the solution."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"It's not that easy to use from the management side."
"Veeam ONE should make available notifications through SMS."
"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."
"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights."
"I don't find this solution to be intuitive and user-friendly. It's a large and difficult product to learn. We need to search for more information."
"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."
"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."
"The integration points can use improvement. We currently use a lot of third-party management packs to get insights for SQL, HP or Dell EMC. If we could have more integration built in as a standard feature that would make it slightly better."
"When it comes to policies, they need to fine tune things to make it easier. It is a bit difficult setting up policies."
"If the cost of the license could be cheaper, it would be good."
"You can troubleshoot, you can do all kinds of deep-dives into the issue and find out what the root cause is and everything, but in order to get it fixed, whatever it is (doesn't matter what it is), you need to log into another tool in order to fix it."
"The room for improvement is in the definition of the metrics. There are millions of metrics inside the solution, but there is no documentation from VMware for what those exact metrics are. That is a trouble point at times."
