Veeam ONE

Of cores and ram needed

Ram consumption, threads and so on visualization

Better control over Veeam Backup infrastructure

Veeam One needs a lot of resources

Heavy using of owl db

Automatically adds new VMs or storage.

Detects applicable sensors.

Has compatibility for nearly every sensor imaginable.

Thresholds are not very flexible.

I have an issue where is a sensor is flapping it will keep alerting instead of waiting a set time to alert again.

Depending on infrastructure size and CPU sockets it can get very expensive.

Monitor Veeam Backup environment

Report on Backup Environment

Alerting for virtual infrastructure

Monitoring of virtual machines

Gives insights into virtual environment health.

Comes with pre-made reports ready to roll out on day one.

Alerting is easy to set up and nearly "set it and forget it."

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.

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.

There isn't any obvious weakness as the product performs as it advertised.

Quick and intuitive to use. Compared to other products we have used, Veeam ONE is the easiest to get new users to utilize. Search functionality is fast and the amount of data that is in the console window is logically organized.

Broad, or detailed overviews of infrastructure performance depending on the need at the moment. Users can easily scale the reporting from a full cluster, down to a single object in seconds. Users can also easily adjust the reporting time period from minutes, to hours/days/weeks/etc. in a few clicks.

Support for Veeam ONE is often slow. Because it is not a 'production' system, unless the server/service is hard down, Veeam's Support Team is not really all that quick to respone to Veeam ONE support needs.

Provides a monitor for all aspects of your virtual environment.

We use it to monitor disk space thresholds and provision all our VMs with the minimum required space from start. It lets us know when they have reached a minimum acceptable level and then we use vSphere tools to increase them on the fly. This optimizes our space usage.

We use it to monitor and alert on CPU and Memory usage thresholds for VMs so that we don't have performance problems host-wide.

Snapshot age is alerted to help you remember to delete older rapidly growing snapshots.

We use it to look at longer term trends for capacity planning and monitoring.

We also use it to monitor backup and replication processes to make sure they are happening and that we have capacity for them.

Basically the products works very well and we have been very pleased, but following are some picky details I could suggest for improvement specific to our needs.

We leave the GUI up on a TV in our Office and on our desktops to visibly see if anything is alerting. It would be nice if you could customize the view to have a smaller minimum view with just the widgets you wanted.

When the GUI starts on a multi-monitor setup it always returns to the primary and any popup windows always go to the primary instead of the monitor you have the application running in.

A central location for monitoring system resources in real time.

Most of the alerts are configured out of the box. Thumbs up to that.

Easy and intuitive GUI.

The email notifications are huge and too verbose.

Doesn’t monitor physical servers.

24x7 real-time monitoring, reporting, alerting and managing for virtual and physical environments - This allows our customers real-time analysis

Capacity planning and forecasting - Our customers are always set on what's coming next and with Veeam ONE, they can effectively plan for their ever-moving environment target

Resource management and configuration tracking - Allows for tracking of efficiency of their environment

Veeam is the leader in the backup and replication model and they do everything well. Veeam ONE was just one more of the additions that take it to the next level.

Backup

Recovery

Implementation

Getting the settings fine-tuned at the beginning was a bit of effort, but once set up, works smoothly.

Simple installation and integration into our VMWare environment

Save cost on storage with data compression and data deduplication

Single management console to manage and monitor our environment

An affordable Enterprise Solution; seems with pricing you are "locked-in"

Veeam is a virtual-only solution; we rely on NetBackup for physical servers backups

The built-in reports work well for providing management with a picture of how resources are being used.

The alerts are highly configurable.

The structuring of the alerts in the infrastructure view dashboard lets you narrow down the scope of alerts to only those you care about.

The interface (as of v7) is a little clunky and takes some practice to navigate effectively.

Alerts can be a little chatty, making it hard to distinguish real issues from all the noise.

Customizing the alerts is time consuming.

Based on your settings, it alerts you in a timely fashion of potential issues

Pretty intuitive to install and configure

Great support

Free trainings (More)!! :)

Reporting - Veeam ONE has the ability to update you with daily reports that are easily customizable.

Monitoring - Veeam ONE shows current and past health of virtual servers. This includes proactive statuses that can warn you of impending issues.

Alarms - Veeam ONE can contact you via a number of methods to warn you that an issue is impending, or occurring that requires your attention.

At the last time I used Veeam ONE, it didn't monitor physical systems. I don't necessarily consider this a flaw, just a feature that would be nice to have.
