"First, I like that this solution is fast. Second, I like the stability and flexibility."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
"The tool is a stable backup solution."
"Veeam ONE is a very good management product...The technical support is very good, and I think it's one of the best. The response time is very quick."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"For me, the most important feature is alerting."
"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is how our metrics interact with each other. You can find what objects are needed and get all of the information about an object: How it works with the storage, CPUs, memory, and you can get an easy way to find the solution during troubleshooting."
"We use the product to minimize downtime, as well as be in a position to plan for future growth."
"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."
"Through the trending analysis that we can do, it allowed us to quickly and easily right-size the capacity from a cluster."
"It has allowed us to identify problems sooner and helps us with problems and issues."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. We spent a few days setting it up, then it was up and running."
"We like that we are able to combine all infrastructure monitoring using this solution, meaning we receive analytics from across our whole network."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"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."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."
"There is a bug that prevents enabling the restore button, which is hectic."
"Agent backups could be better. I have many problems with agent backups, particularly on Linux and MySQL databases. MySQL works well with Microsoft products but not with other products. The database backups are not working correctly, and we are losing business. I am not getting any support; administration is also a significant problem."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"They need to support more platforms."
"The solution could improve by having more APIs, customized alerts, and documentation."
"One of the things that we've been limited on is that it only monitors one cluster at a time. We're spread out all across the US. It would be nice to monitor multiple clusters from one instance. That would be the main thing we'd like to see."
"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."
"In terms of user-friendliness, there are a lot of areas that take a lot of time to research and figure out what the information is actually telling me, so that I know how to better use the product and troubleshoot issues that I see. It would be nice if they could fine-tune the user-interface a little bit."
"There are some problems with integration, particularly with Slack, though these have been improved in the latest release."
"I would like to have more documentation, in the form of knowledge bases, that better explain the technology, related products, and what the capabilities are."
"If I put on the hat of a client, I would say cost needs improvement. For clients with reasonable-sized infrastructure farms, you're looking at licensing at either per socket or per VM, and if you have an installation of any size, you're doing it per socket, and the per-socket licensing is a little heavy. Per VM license, if they have large numbers of VM, it is just not practical."
"Some of the more advanced stuff takes a bit of time to dig into it. It takes a little longer to setup if you want really detailed stuff. They could make the learning curve smoother."
