Likelihood to Recommend Icinga is a world-class monitoring system. It can be used for most general monitoring situations. It is not a silver bullet, however, and there are instances where domain-specific monitoring systems are necessary. However, the output from those monitoring systems can be funneled into Icinga as a central monitoring and alerting system.
Read full review Veeam One works great for monitoring virtual infrastructure. However, other dedicated server monitoring apps do better with monitoring the individual VMs. Where it stands out is its reporting functionality, which allows you to forecast growth and keep track of how you are using your resources. It is also great for companies without a big monitoring budget, as there is a pretty functional free version.
Read full review Pros Wealth of community-developed plugins. Stable codebase. Icinga 2 supports distributed monitoring. Very performant, can support tens of thousands of checks per server. Read full review Proactive Alerting - the product can provide email alerts to notify one of any issues in the environment. Capacity Planning and Forecasting - it has the ability to provide an analysis of the current environment as well as provide a report to forecast future capacity requirements. Monitoring and Reporting - the software can monitor you environment 24x7 with the ability to provide comprehensive reporting. Read full review Cons High learning curve, setting up Icinga from scratch can be a bit of a challenge starting out. If the io2db process fails you UI stops updating, which can be very frustrating. There is no simple mechanism for adding new hosts and services through the web UI, it's all very config-file based. Read full review The licensing is tricky to understand. You can have an enterprise BR license or a Veeam ONE license, and the split modules read from only one module where the license is actually loaded into it. Documentation could be a little better. It's not exactly pretty to look at. Themes and tweaks are pretty limited. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Icinga is a solid solution which does everything it promises. It is backwards compatible with most Nagios instances, making the transition very easy. Once you get the hang of installing new plugins and editing configuration files expanding its monitoring capabilities are easy.
Read full review Support Rating We rarely if ever call support, but overall Veeam is very responsive, quick to get a hold of, and knowledgeable in there help. Some companies get big like Veeam and their support drops off, but we haven't seen that with Veeam (but again, their products seem really solid and trouble free so we rarely need help).
Read full review Alternatives Considered Icinga is better than
Nagios because of its nicer user interface. New Relic can monitor CPU/memory and disk usage, but it's more of a performance and application troubleshooting tool rather than monitoring
Read full review Veeam ONE does not stack up well against
Prometheus because
Prometheus is must more flexibile and customizable.
AppDynamics and Veeam ONE are similar in that they excel with certain but different aspects. Veeam ONE with backups and
AppDynamics with application performance.
Read full review Return on Investment With one check you know which applications are faulty e.g. after an upgrade. Which is big time saver You easily detect outages ion the applications so that your customer ideally does not even realize there was an outage. Detect if the environment does deliver the same result as in the same time as before to detect shortages. Additional information when debugging. Saved us several hours where we could simply point to a database which was slow. Read full review The most positive impact has been a centralized platform to manage all our vCenter Tags, which orchestrate all our BCDR solutions with Veeam. Response time for analyzing system performance when there are issues has greatly increased due to the simplicity of the software, plus we have been able to allow access to application developers and managers to view and asses their servers when they feel there are issues, without the need to contact the infrastructure team members.
