"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"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."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."
"The solution is really easy and straightforward to use."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"It has been useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and assessing our environment, as well as for investigating bottlenecks."
"One valuable feature of Veeam ONE for backup management is its dashboard, which offers a comprehensive view of backups and other essential data."
"I'd like to see the streamlining of more wizards, more tasks that are canned. And it would also be good to see some more features around building the Blueprints, just to make it a little easier."
"What we do, as a whole for our group... is storage virtualization and the compute side. This product brings all those pieces into one interface and now we can actually correlate data between them."
"It can compare hardware to software, and I have all the information in one place."
"It's a great tool for monitoring and tracking data of our entire environment."
"I have found the backup extremely useful in my use cases."
"The initial setup is quite easy and straightforward. The majority of the time, implementing vROps is not time-consuming."
"It has great charts and graphs which provide a high level overview of our environment. Being able to click through those to deep dive, we can easily get to the information that we are looking for."
"I can go back a little bit, a week or a month, look at the history, to troubleshoot."
"The reports are basic and not customizable, making it challenging to get detailed insights."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."
"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."
"Veeam ONE could improve by having capacity planning, intelligent automatization, and ransomware."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"The threshold could be easier to configure."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"Moving forward, I would like to see some tighter integration with the vSphere Web Client, just so that I don't have to open multiple windows and jump back and forth. We've currently running vSphere 6.7 and there is a lot tighter integration between vROps and vSphere, but it can always be better."
"One of the most valuable features was the cluster modeling, but they took that away... They keep saying that it's going to be back in the next release and that's what we're looking for. We really want that back."
"The main concern would be just to make sure that there's some consistency when third-parties are building their various content packs for it. It seems like it's pretty random in terms of what you're going to get. A vendor is are going to provide whatever they provide but it's really hit or miss in terms of how good the quality is."
"I'd like to see more of the advanced reporting without having to go to the advanced product and paying the extra price. Canned reports are great, but you shouldn't have to pay for custom reports."
"I would like to see a full RESTful API for everything and PowerCLI modules that interact with more of the different features. It doesn't have a complete API set and it's not a complete PowerCLI module yet. I'd love to see that developed more, to be able to interact with other applications and automation."
"For the most part, we have found it to be user-friendly. It has gotten better over time since the first version of vROps that I used. The interface has really improved since then."
"The deployment of the solution can be improved by making it less complex."
"We would like the default views on the reports for this solution to be improved; at present we have to customize the view before use."
