Useful growth tracking, overview tracking, but increasingly complex
One common customer complaint is that Veeam, not just Veeam ONE, has become increasingly complex over time. This means that it is now very feature-rich, which can be challenging for some users to navigate and understand. There is a need for more education on how to use the GUI and all of the available features. Even regular users of Veeam may struggle to utilize the new features, which makes it more challenging for backup administrators to manage their backups. The platform is not becoming simpler, but rather, it is becoming more complicated over time. It would be helpful if Veeam ONE allowed a view of all of your repositories in a single panel, rather than having to check multiple repositories separately. This consolidated view would provide better visibility on the target repository, which can be very helpful.

We can fix issues with our network before they become serious problems
Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need. For example, Zabbix can be used for a company monitoring solutions by many vendors. We have only one site and one company, so we can't improve all the possibilities of the software. Zabbix could add some more cybersecurity features. It isn't the same thing because network monitoring isn't the same as security. Still, it could include something like a VPN or firewall with the solution. It's a free software tool traditionally used for monitoring.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."
"The product is very straightforward and very easy to use from the client-side."
"Veeam ONE effectively centralizes the view of different tools."
"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."
"Setting up Veeam is easy, and it's portable, too."
"As a manager, I find Veeam One's reporting service to be very helpful."
"Veeam ONE has proven to be a reliable tool not just for backups but also for general hypervisor management."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
 

Cons

"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"Sometimes the solution give reports that are confusing and has errors. So the integration of the full solution with the resolution of resolving the error should be added in the next release.The solution should also provide more customization, automation, better documentation."
"I would like the solution to have better integration with other hypervisors and cloud features that are not exclusive to VMware."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"Veeam ONE should improve its UI."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"Veeam One has its ransomware monitoring, but it's based on static parameters."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"The APM monitoring has room for improvement, although I hear that the new 5.2 version has some improvements in that area, and I'd like to give that a go. I would like to see a few more templates out there for different styles of monitoring. I use the Grafana interface for reporting. I would also like it to have an out-of-the-box ability to email reports. You can create reports, but to be able to email those reports would be really helpful. I've got users who are not interested in logging in and generating a report. They want it all pre-canned and sent to an email address. It would also be really handy if we could pin certain reports up onto platforms such as Teams or SharePoint. A GUI for the proxy server would be cool to have for debugging purposes and for the support teams to have a look at, but I don't know whether that's really feasible to do. I get enough from the log files themselves."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is high."
"For what it does, the price is acceptable."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."
"The product is expensive."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."
"For now, I think the pricing of Veeam ONE is quite okay for any of the infrastructures, especially for those who want a backup system and a tool that provides monitoring services."
"The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."
"It is reasonable."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"We are using the free, open-source version."
"This solution is open-source and free to use."
"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."
"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."
"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
