Veeam ONE Reviews

The main use of Veeam ONE is to provide additional information on the backup environment, especially since the reporting in Veeam's base product doesn't give much information. Veeam ONE can add information like the number of jobs that fail and the percentage of those that succeed.

Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments. It's also very simple and doesn't require very deep knowledge to understand and use.

I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated. In the next solution, I would like Veeam to add support for other less-used hypervisors like Oracle VM, consolidating these products into one console.

Veeam ONE is stable and easy to use.

The new licensing model is based on instances, so it's simple to scale.

Veeam's technical support is good, I'm not aware of any big issues with it.

Veeam has been raising its prices in the last two years, so it's now lacking some competitiveness in pricing, becoming too expensive compared to other solutions in the market.

I would rate Veeam ONE as eight out of ten.

The solution helps us understand the infrastructure more and gives insights to develop further business plans.

The solution's reporting feature could be better. They should provide more insightful reports.

The solution's customer service is good.

I rate the solution as an eight. It is good but not an essential product.

We just are using it for backup and replication. Only two people at my company are working with it now because it is only a backup area. All the other products in my environment are not integrated with the tool. 

Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment. Honestly, we can't use it with the rest of the environment— the hardware and software and so on. It's a huge problem.
We are just using it for backup monitoring. 

I've only been using Veeam for few months now.

Veeam is stable.

Veeam is scalable.

Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too.

Veeam is somewhat expensive, but it's affordable. For a backup and replication program, it might be expensive.

I would rate Veeam four out of 10.

• Live monitoring and reporting on the health and performance of the virtual environment.

Identifies issues in real time, does capacity planning, and performs environmental monitoring that allows us to justify the need for additional resources in real time.

I would like to see improvements in the GUI and in navigation.

I have used this solution for four years.

I didn’t encounter any issues with stability.

I didn’t encounter any issues with scalability.

Technical support is excellent.

The installation was straightforward.

We bundle it with Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Availability Suite under the cloud license model. It is very affordable.

I don’t have any negative feedback. It provides a real-time, holistic view of the performance of our environment. It has allowed us to capture resource utilization issues for virtual machines. It allows us to capture information about snapshots, configuration, and performance issues in real-time. It has excellent reporting for capacity planning and management or reporting for customers.

We are using Veeam ONE to monitor our environment.

The solution is simple to use.

The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment.

I have been using this solution for approximately eight years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is highly scalable in the virtual environment.

The support team Veeam can be available 24 hours a day seven days a week depending on your license agreement. However, in Veeam ONE the support query availability is not as good as other solutions they offer.

Veeam ONE is straightforward to implement.

If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors.

I rate Veeam ONE a nine out of ten.

Transforming from the physical system to virtualization -- vSphere or Hyper-V, KVM and then monitoring reporting infrastructure.

The most important problem in the data center system is to monitor and calculate real-time, to be able to accurately forecast or monitor for troubleshooting (not all software can do it).

• Optimal calculations for storage systems for operation and backup on DCV, HCI
• Stability and VM loading of the data center.

We have problems with IOPS calculations real-time, uncontrollable IOPS of storage leads to storage infrastructure errors.

The additional features are: 

• Running control of both network and IOPS on physical infrastructure 
• Predicting compatibility requirements to transfer resources from physical to virtual to meet backup RPO and RTO within 15 minutes
• Especially adding application objects to backup VM cluster (Oracle RAC, SQL cluster, AD delegation, Exchange DAG, MySQL Cluster).

Some of the valuable features, amongst other brilliant features, are:

• Veeam ONE Reporter: Reporter is the reporting server part of Veeam ONE. It is accessible via a web console, providing featured packed templates (workspace) and dashboard widgets.
• Close-to-accurate capacity planning of virtual and backup environments.
• Host failure modeling
• What-if analysis in case one host has to fail
• Determining if all production VMs will be continuously available on fewer hosts.
• VM optimization by identifying over/under-allocated CPU and memory resources, i.e., right-sizing.

Generating reports is based on your selection criterion and parameters, giving you presentable views for VMware and Hyper-V infrastructures for:

• Backup infrastructures with disk, replication, and tape jobs
• Backup repositories (capacity planning for forecasting)
• Virtual infrastructure trends and alarms
• Virtual infrastructure hosts, clusters, data stores, and VMs

Complete visibility into compute, storage, and backup resources.

It helps us to meet our client SLAs by optimizing resource usage with tremendous cost-savings (charge-back).

I would like to see more drill-down and granular coverage of the compute stack and virtual infrastructure elements for Hyper-V.

I am comparing this to more features already available for VMware environments. I read that more features have now been added in version 9.5 and that the current ones have been enhanced.

We have used this solution for four years, since version 6.5.

There have been no stability issues so far.

A lot of improvements are made with each new release, as long as you follow the proper and guided upgrade steps.

You also have to take into account the initial best practice deployment with optimal configurations that meet our clients' virtual and backup estates.

There have been no scalability issues so far. Our Veeam ONE servers are implemented as hosted VMs, as opposed to physical machines. These are easily scalable in terms of resources.

We used other solutions previously. We are still using SolarWinds Virtualization Manager, version 6.3, in conjunction with Veeam ONE.

One of our large clients decided to acquire Veeam ONE based on their own research. This decision was seconded by us.

We found the reporting and capacity planning tools were really what they needed. That helped us support them better. The cost savings was the driving force.

The initial setup was fairly easy and straightforward with guided wizard-driven configurations. The single-server is used for small to medium size enterprises.

Much larger virtual and backup environments with separate dedicated servers require advanced deployment.

Depending on the edition (Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus), all license costs are calculated per number of physical CPU-Sockets, in each hosted, server hardware.

I evaluated Turbonomic 5 (formerly VMTurbo) before. It is a master and “monster” of capacity planning for virtual environments of any size. It is feature-packed and fast.

However, I first started working with SolarWinds Virtualization Manager and still use it in the workplace. I use it extensively for VM sprawl and storage monitoring which is easier for me with this product. It also gives us recommendations on resource sizing/tuning. Veeam ONE and Turbonomic do this as well in their own efficient ways.

If you are looking for complete visibility into your VMware and/or Hyper-V infrastructure with seamless integration of Veeam backup & replication environments at no additional cost, then look no further. It just works.

Just “picture it”:

• Great cost-savings with linked SLAs
• Boosts ROI across the board
• Slices down on Capex and Opex

• Monitoring
• Reporting
• Capacity planning

It allows us to proactively monitor of virtual infrastructure, and has reduced downtime.

Reduce the use of dark colors in the product interfaces (GUI).

I have used it for five years.

No stability issues encountered so far.

I have not encountered any scalability issues.

Technical support is not so good:

• Communication issues due to language differences
• Slow responses

We previously used IBM & Microsoft solutions.

Initial setup was straightforward.

Licenses are getting costlier whenever there is a new version.

Before choosing this product, we also evaluated VMTurbo & VMware Operations Manager.

It’s a great product.
