VMware monitoring

OK 500 for the best argument

I suggest Veeam, but honestly, it'll more depend on what you like. Several vendors have a little bit different 'flavor' (GUI aesthetics). Xangati is ok, as well.

I agree at least partially with coolsport00.

I've used both of them a little for evaluation. VEEAM seems more direct and less cluttered getting the info that you need. vFoglight gives you great data and good looks into the data, but it's almost more than one person needs. vFoglight seemed a little heavier on the server I was running it on than VEEAM, but as I said, I was evaluating and didn't run them either for a long time.

Veeam or vFoglight tough choice, I think it depends on whether you have

1. currently any Quest/Vizionvcore or Veeam Products

2. Both present similar information.

I think it depends on your personal requirements, download them both and trial them for free, and compare them against your requirements. Vizoncore have an excellent pedigree in the Virtual market, but Veeam are playing catchup very quickly. Veeam have just created a Partner Univeristy, a similar program as VMware operates for Partners, so you should be able to get a Veeam Partner to set it up correctly, and get the best out of the product, something that is missing currently from Quest.

Any what do you want to monitor in VMware world!

(sometimes, too much information is available, we can be alerted on!)

I've got some stock questions about your requirements we ask our clients (as we are both Quest and Veeam partners!).

1. Do you read Technical manuals for software products? (from Page 1 to Page 800!) (and that doesn't include posting on EE!!!)

2. How quickly do you want to be up and running with the monitoring product, hours or days?

3. How many Admin are in your VMware Team?

4. Do you have budgets for Training?

5.  Do you need to recover lost resources and verify your VMware Infrastrcucture is optimized?

6. Do you require any bespoke customization?

Here you go
1. Do you read Technical manuals for software products? (from Page 1 to Page 800!) (and that doesn't include posting on EE!!!) - Yes i do but i cant say the same for my team members. sometimes what is read is forgotten though if you dont use what you read.

2. How quickly do you want to be up and running with the monitoring product, hours or days? a couple of weeks maybe /month

3. How many Admin are in your VMware Team? 4

4. Do you have budgets for Training? yes somewhat

5.  Do you need to recover lost resources and verify your VMware Infrastrcucture is optimized? both

6. Do you require any bespoke customization? probably not now
