Are you aware of the vcenter plug-in that allows your vcenter users with rights on the VM to start the quick backups instead of VM snapshots?
In the end everyone tries to avoid to use VM snapshots because of the side effects and the vcenter plug-in was exactly created for this purpose, to remove the snapshot right from the regular vcenter user and let them use quick backup.
It takes a bit more time, but in total the admins are in a way better spot as it is a real backup and even if they mess up the VM completely they can (instant) restore.
