Easy to use, quick to understand, and simple to set up

It's easy to use. It wasn't too difficult to start with. With most vendors, initially, you have a learning curve or configurations. In this case, Zerto was quick to understand. The dashboard was easy and the UI was simple. The experience is comparatively good with Zerto. The near-synchronous replication has not been used much. That said, it does help when talking about storage layers. The availability of the VMs is good. In terms of resiliency, there are a lot of benefits to it. Most have a recovery of 24 to 48 hours; Zerto has gotten recovery down to four hours. We've done a POC with a DR to AWS. It was limited, however, it worked well and there was support. We didn't run into any challenges. The effect on the RPOs has been excellent. It's been impacted greatly. Customers enjoy the shorter timeline to recovery. The customer confidence is high.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."

"Since we are at a bank, there are certain protocols in place where we need to have RPO and RTO times of two hours or less. Zerto does a great job of setting those times and alerting us if those can't be met. We have our help desk actively monitoring that. It is extremely helpful that Zerto lists what is falling out of compliance in regards to RPO and RTO. It has been great in that regard."

"I found the very easy VPG setup, the easy recovery, and failover testing to be the most valuable features."

"I really like how you can test the failover as often as you need."

"Its user interface is excellent, and when it comes to data duplication, Zerto is very fast."

"Failover using Zerto is simply a one-button click, and it does everything else in restoring the VMs at a different datacenter (recovery site)."

"A new feature is the One-To-Many VPG allowing a VM to be replicated at up to three different locations, including local."

"Speed of recovery has been very effective in getting our information back as fast as we're able to get it. The daily backup solution that we use alternatively only allows a single backup versus having continuous backup replication with Zerto, it's a no-brainer."

"Zerto's ease of use is outstanding; it's easy to set up and has a clear interface and menus. The reporting, analytics, and online monitoring are also excellent."

More Zerto pros

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."

"You have to start with 25 VMs which is too much for SMB clients. It would be better if they had the option to start with 10."

"From the relationship standpoint, we have never had a local rep in South Bend, Indiana. It has always been somebody in Boston, and there is not a lot of communication. That is one of the big things. We would like help driving the business and talking to our sales people as well as more involvement from them. We could really utilize it more, drawing more customers in, but we need help with that."

"The new licensing model didn't work out for us because we used one-to-one replication."

"This solution could be improved by being more cloud agnostic."

"Certain areas were designed and work fine for VMware but are under development for Hyper-V. Eventually, all features will work for both platforms."

"Zerto's near-synchronous replication is excellent when it works. I'm trying to be nice to them because I like the product a lot, but we're having a lot of difficulty with it in our environment."

"If I were to nitpick, I would say that I wish I had a better account manager. Our sales guy has changed a couple of times. I would like a little more responsiveness from our account manager. I've had a couple of issues where getting in touch with him has been a little difficult, and I end up just going around him and dealing with support and support has handled it right away."

"More user support would be best for me because I'm not in the product all the time. So, having strong support is probably the most important decision on any products that we buy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."

"Everyone knows Zerto is a little on the expensive side, but what else is there on the market that does the same thing?"

"When they changed their licensing model, pricing might have gotten a little more expensive for some use cases, but it has been pretty straightforward."

"Licensing Zerto was very simple. They had a product that fit our size and scale. It made it really easy to choose."

"Its price can be better, but it is not bad. Most small-scale organizations can afford it, but they can come up with more customer-friendly packages."

"Zerto is expensive but offers many features that make it competitive."

"The licensing model is good. The price is a little bit expensive, but for what customers get on it, it tends to pay for itself. However, if more and more companies start to improve, then Zerto may need to look at their pricing and make it a little better."

"Its price is fair. It is very cost-effective compared to the cost of the labor for your workers and associates."

"This solution is far less expensive than SRM and NetBackup."
