I really like the ease of use and setup. I have used VM Explorer since Trilead and version 3 and it keeps getting better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was disappointed when they completely removed the desktop interface in the preference of the web interface. I liked the desktop interface for speed and usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One license solution that support all my vmware server. We all set up new temporary vmware server for testing / upgrading and then you do not need a new license on you backup software for making copies of you latest work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Disabling desktop version as standard, When running the software it forces you to the web interface, on the old version we could choose (Web interface is great but when you are use to the desktop interface it takes time to get comfortable with the new stuff.

I love the email reports which give you a quick, customised overview of what succeeded and what failed. Unfortunately it often fails (more on that later)
I like that it works with free ESXi versions, since it's for my home lab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It fails every week or so with strange errors, that it can't access some files. Even though there is no access to the VM or Datastore at that time.
I dislike the incremental feature where I can't back it up to an ESXi Datastore. That's a real shame and I don't really understand why my trial of Veeam could, but this can't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It includes lots of enterprise features,such as tape support, immediate VM recovery from the backup, support for both hyper-v, free esxi, vcenter, etc.
Even in the free version, it is the best i have found so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If there is something I dislike, it would have to be the switch to the Web Interface. I preferred the native Windows Client... but that is just personal preference.
What is also a drag, is that the email report shows 'failed' if just oje of the jobs in the task failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like variety of different configurations that you can use it. I have used it for everything from backup, to duplicating gold images for VDI. I also love that I can backup a remote server to shared storage at the remote location from the same console that I manage backups of my onsite virtual servers.

I would love to have a backup to tape option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use and does as promised. We were sold this product back when it was just VMEX and we love the interface update when moved to HP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be nice to have some vss or os level backups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When it comes to during full and incremental backups of VMWare VM's, I have yet to find a better product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed of backup is slightly slower than some other solutions that I tried during my initial evaluations, but overall pricing and capability won out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How to use the VM Explorer for several years.
Is a very good software which can provide all the possibilities of backup a VM.
We also installed the VM Explorer with our customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Do not like doing it and there is no Windows program anymore but everything
In Explorer / Browser must go! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's simple, perfect for small-scale deployments. KISS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not a fan of the licensing options since HP took over Trilead. I might not renew our license next year.
I don't like the new web-only platform. I really liked the "thick" Windows client. It was faster and easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
