output and increased ROI for virtualized environments. With Veeam ONE Community Edition, optimization reports
are limited to show only three VMs and historical performance reports are limited to the last 24 hours of data.
Multi-tenant reporting and monitoring Delegate reporting to system administrators over a limited scope of assigned VMs (VMware vSphere only).
Infrastructure assessment: Veeam Assessment reporting is designed to verify that your Veeam Backup & Replication installation meets all known
Backup & Replication best practices.
Virtual infrastructure assessment Assessment reporting is designed to verify that your VMware vSphere and/or Microsoft
Hyper-V infrastructure meets all known best practices.
VMware Cloud Director monitoring Companies want to stay ahead of the issues impacting their virtual datacenters and ultimately their
and alerting customers. To help, Veeam provides capabilities for monitoring teams of service providers to track
the availability and configuration of their virtual data centers, including organizations and vApps.
VMware Cloud Director reporting Businesses want to ensure that they are using the ideal configuration and optimizing their resources to get

Intelligent automation
Veeam Intelligent Diagnostics Proactive identification and alerting of known issues within your Veeam environment, providing self-support
resolutions via hotfixes or reconfigurations. For Veeam ONE Community Edition, all of the alarms will continue
to work but the details for each alarm will not be shown.
Remediation actions Predefined and automated resolution of common backup and virtual infrastructure-related issues with self-
healing remediation actions help to reduce IT management costs. With Veeam ONE Community Edition,
remediation actions are available, but require manual approval.
Dashboards
Predefined performance dashboards for Get at-a-glance views of backup jobs and the backup infrastructure, as well as view the VMs, hosts and
backup and virtual infrastructures and clusters that are the highest consumers of CPU, memory, network and datastore resources. Also, view
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 datastore utilization metrics, including metrics relating to VM snapshots and guest disk space usage.
Customized reporting dashboards Create your own at-a-glance views of your virtual environment. Veeam ONE Community Edition allows for one
customized reporting dashboard to be created.
Capacity planning
Capacity planning: VMware vSphere Individual report packs for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V are designed to forecast when
and Microsoft Hyper-V the available virtual infrastructure resources will reach their minimum levels. The packs provide
recommendations on resource allocation and load balancing to optimize performance and resource
utilization in your respective virtual environment and to avoid possible performance bottlenecks.

Deployment project reports Leverage fully automated “what-if” modeling scenarios to safely add or remove VMs or hosts from your
infrastructure and to accurately calculate the required resources needed for each project.
Chargeback analysis reports Chargeback reports help you understand the costs associated with individual virtual infrastructure users, as well
as help you perform chargeback by analyzing VM configuration and resource usage, including CPU, memory
and storage. Four reports are included: Host Configuration Chargeback, Host Resource Usage Chargeback,
VM Configuration Chargeback and VM Performance Chargeback.
Veeam backup: Billing This report provides chargeback capabilities for Veeam Backup & Replication and helps assess storage
management costs for backup and replication operations, providing data that can be used in financial
and billing reports.
