Veeam ONE

+ control

+ audit

- requirements

- some times upgrading Veeam One require to update Veeam EM and Veeam Backup in the right order

Licensing is pretty expensive when adding a new physical host.

Does not monitor Physical servers.

Monitors backup jobs and reports on issues.

Eliminates issues of not adding new VMs to monitoring.

Our backups have become must more stable

We are able to fulfill a control put in place by the bank

The most valuable reports can safe us a lot of headaches and downtime. What used to be an emergency once in a while is an afterthought as we proactively prevent those same issues in less than 5 minutes a week.

The simplicity has allowed us to offload some virtual environment monitoring to a junior associate.

Initial deployment took some time because we couldn't get licensing figured out, but it has been smooth sailing since then.

Replace previous backup software management and monitoring tools.

Ability to resolve issues as soon as they occur.

Ability to plan better for the future due to capacity planning features.

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.

We use the threshold on disk space and memory to minimize allocated virtual resources to just what is needed. Over time we know this will allow us to not churn servers and storage and thus save money.

We use the alert system to see problems that are on the verge of creating outages that would then potentially cost manpower time.

Since most of the alerts are out of box pre-configured, the time to go live is [reduced].

You don’t need to hire specialised professionals for configuring Veeam ONE.

Veeam ONE has had a very positive ROI with our customers, allowing them to addresses areas that need improvement in their IT infrastructure.

Veeam ONE has given us new insights into how our servers perform - even when just taxing the system and not necessarily down.

I admit I have become distracted with too many emails and sometimes miss the important notifications if not fine-tuned for Alert Levels.

Positive: Simple and Easy installation and interface to manage your VM backups

Positive: Fast and Simple restoring of VMs

Negative: As a "virtual-only" solution, there are concerns with the "lock-in" due to the Tier pricing

Allows us to right-size VMs to get the most out of our hardware

Allows us to forecast for future usage

Allows us to avoid preventable issues that could cause downtime

Again, by saving the exacerbation of potential issues, it has saved the company time and money.

Veeam ONE warned us of overuse of vSphere machines and recommended virtual server moves, thereby allowing us to maximize our hardware efficiency.

Veeam ONE could be a little irritating when its recommendations would continue to reverse due to slight changes on borderline systems.
