Overall Satisfaction with Veeam ONE

We use Veeam One along with other monitoring products to keep an eye on our VMWare virtual infrastructure. It allows us to stay on top of common virtualization issues, such as data stores filling up, hosts reaching maximum resource usage, and VMs having issues. It also provides many useful reports to see how things are performing over time and identify over allocation of resources.
  • 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.
  • 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
vCenter Server has some alerting and performance monitoring built in, but it is not nearly robust as Veeam One.
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.
