Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our enviroment is mid sized with couple hundred servers. We have very little marigins for downtime.

We monitor our onpremise backup and virtual infrastructure with Veeam ONE. We get instant alerts when any problems arrise. We also use the reporting services of Veeam ONE to report to managemnt on critical aspects of our server enviroment.

Pros

Alerting on critical incidents
Reporting on environment
Analytics on enviroment

Cons

We miss more detailed reporting on whole backup enviroment
Graphical map of the virtual infrastructure enviroment would be nice

Likelihood to Recommend

I would think Veeam One is suitable for smaller enviroments. It has good features to monitor and report on virtual enviroment and backups, but of course that is not ennough for physical enviroments, serverroms etc.

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

May 2, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam One, to analyse and verify our VMware and Veeam infrastructure. They allow us to get reports and real time monitoring of our backup jobs, and VMs states. I can generate stuny reports of my virtual envirioment like VMware components, free space on VMs, resource consumption and many more data.

Pros

Monitoring Veeam backup and VMware infrastructure
Generate great reports of virtual envirioment
Generate and configure alarm for critical specification

Cons

Work with Hyper V and other hypervisor
More options for generate reports
Monitoring and create reports for pysical machine

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam One is well suited when you whant a single panel to monitor and create reports, get alarm from virtual envirioment and Veeam backup jobs and components.

Veeam One It is less appropriate if you want to monitor physical server or other hypervisor that is not vmware because they dont support.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

<div>I use Veeam ONE both in a HA VMWare environment with licensed version and in a tiny school infrastructure with one VMWare server and a community edition version.</div><div>In both cases it gives me a lot of information about what is happening now and -first of all- what has happened. It is a must have if you need a tool that can help you to analyze and troubleshoot your infrastructure.

</div>

Pros

few things to setup and ready to play
show warnings and alarms if somethings is going wrong
collect data from server and show graphs and stats in a clear way

Cons

licesing system is a bit tricky
Hyper-V implementation is less mature than VMWare
User interface stop responding when I decide to stop a running job

Likelihood to Recommend

Is a useful tool for IT manager. Is a must have piece of software if you're planning to expand your infrastructure. It gives a lot of information about your resources usage and bottlenecks, so it will be easy to identify how your money can be spent with the better result.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm an insurance broker, not an IT manager. Veeam One is a precious resource to understand and plan your infrastructure. I got control of my Virtualization Environment, correctly dimensioned my vm

Pros

Of cores and ram needed
Ram consumption, threads and so on visualization
Better control over Veeam Backup infrastructure

Cons

Veeam One needs a lot of resources
Heavy using of owl db

Likelihood to Recommend

Multi hosts or failover cluster environment across multiple site with a large numbers of VMs

Reliable and flexible monitoring for production and backup infrastructure.

November 10, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am using Veeam ONE to monitor my virtual servers and infrastructure. It detects infrastructure changes and addition, removing the scenario of accidently forgetting to add something to monitoring. Veeam ONE has many many different kinds of monitors. The licensing is great because I do not need to worry about how many virtual servers or monitors I have. Other products that are licensed per VM get very expensive as the infrastructure grows.

Pros

Automatically adds new VMs or storage.
Detects applicable sensors.
Has compatibility for nearly every sensor imaginable.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Veeam ONE is so reliable I will get alerts if an issue arises during the creation of a VM. It will begin monitoring for issues before the VM is fully provisioned. I am able to monitor all datastores and any storage or infrastructure connected to the physical hosts. It even monitors backup jobs and will alert if any issues occur.

Only good for monitoring VBR

November 10, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Veeam ONE is used mostly within the Systems Engineering department to monitor Veeam backups and some parts of our Infrastructure and virtual machines. We use Veeam ONE to generate reports on backup successes and failures as part of a control we have in place at our bank. There is alerting configured to monitor resources within the infrastructure and the infrastructure itself.

Pros

Monitor Veeam Backup environment
Report on Backup Environment

Cons

Alerting for virtual infrastructure
Monitoring of virtual machines

Likelihood to Recommend

If Veeam Backup is not installed in an environment I would not recommend Veeam ONE at all. Aside from monitoring/reporting on Veeam Backup we use Veeam ONE to monitor and alert on some of the virtual infrastructure. If we did not already have the product in place, we would not be using it for this use-case as it does not perform well. Veeam ONE can only be used in a Hyper-V or VMware environment, anything outside of that will not be beneficial at all.

Veeam ONE: Fraction of the Cost for Superior Capability for Veeam Users

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

March 6, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're currently using Veeam ONE for infrastructure reporting for our Corporate IT team's virtual environment. It gives us a single pane of glass view into our backup operations, virtual environment health, and helps us with our capacity planning.

Backup operations are reported on regularly using the premade reports that came with it. It took no effort to get this up and rolling after setting up the SMTP configuration. This shows us daily and weekly reports on backup jobs and issues as they arise. Virtual environment health is very similar to VMWare's vSphere client, and has similar alarms and functionality. It's much easier to give a junior administrator access to this than the production vSphere console, and less risk in doing so. Capacity planning also came ready to go out of the box. It takes a few minutes to set up the reports you want to subscribe to, and they're easy enough to customize. There are reports for almost anything you need already, but you have the ability to create your own too.

Pros

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."

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Organizations with a high percentage of virtual machines in their environment, that need to add capacity planning and better reporting capabilities. I would also recommend using Veeam B&R to really get the most out of it. You can mix and match Veeam and Hyper-V infrastructure in one view if that's a requirement too.

Veeam ONE Experience

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

February 26, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Veeam One is used by the IT Department to monitor the health of our backups, virtual and physical environments. It provides us with monitoring and alerting capabilities as well as the ability to pull reports based on whats happening within the ICT Data Centre environment. The Capacity Planning dashboard helps us analyze the current resource utilization as well as the ability to forecast and plan ahead in growing our environment appropriately.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for most environments be they running on physical or virtual infrastructure.Also it supports VMware and Hyper-V which is good since these hypervisors are quite popular and found within so many data centre environments. Finally, I would say that if you want insight into your mission critical server environment and want to be notified about issues as soon as they occur, the this tool is for you,

Veeam ONE is a great monitoring tool for your VMware and Veeam Backup and Replication Systems.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

October 25, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Veeam ONE in the Information Systems department to monitor our virtual infrastructure for our entire organization. It is a relatively inexpensive and easy to use tool for the monitoring and notification of critical infrastructures status and availability. We actually used Veeam Backup and Recovery first and then discovered that for a nominal amount more you can get Veeam ONE in a suite configuration to compliment VBR.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a VMware virtual environment and or Veeam Backup and Replication, Veeam ONE is a great tool to monitor its health. You can use the built-in tools in vCenter to monitor many of the same things that Veeam ONE monitors, but with vCenter you have to go looking for problems that Veeam ONE automatically notifies you on. You can also set thresholds in Veeam ONE such that certain VMs don't falsely alert you all the time as well.

Veeam ONE is a simple monitoring tool with a lot of power

Rating: 8 out of 10

October 1, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Systems Administrators use it most frequently to manage and monitor performance of our virtual infrastructure components across the enterprise. We have other monitoring solutions in place (SolarWinds, VROPS) but none of them are as handy, or intuitive as Veeam ONE for a centralized monitoring tool for near real time performance.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

When there is any sort of performance issue, Veeam ONE is well suited to help assess the problem. There are many, many features within the monitoring console that allow you to connect to machines, view processes and even reset them with ease. We prefer this tool over any of the more complicated ones in our environment.
