Easy to setup, reasonably priced, and the portal works well

We are using this solution to backup Microsoft 365 data, including SharePoint, Exchange, and Teams They have just implemented a Backup and Restore portal that we think is very good. I would like to see a better method of backing up Exchange in the cloud. We have been using this solution for six…

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

"iland is excellent as far as the interface."

"The service itself wasn't bad."

"They have just implemented a Backup and Restore portal that we think is very good."

"I've found the migration feature very valuable."

"I give Zerto's stability a nine out of ten."

"The disaster recovery features are the best I've found."

"We don't have to spend a whole lot of time worrying about DR and whether or not we are covered. Zerto just works. As it is replicating, we don't need to spend a whole lot of time with it. That is a huge benefit as far as daily management."

"The ease of failover and test environments has proven invaluable."

"There wasn't anything in place that compares to what we're getting from Zerto. Before Zerto, we didn't have a proper disaster recovery program or application in place. We had a simple backup solution where we could back up our data every 24 hours. So we went from that to being able to recover full systems within a matter of minutes. With Zerto, if we do have an event or disaster, we know that we can recover from that much quicker than we were able to before."

"Its ease of use is most valuable. The online documentation is very clear and helpful. We are able to solve a lot of problems on our own without having to contact support."

"The most valuable feature is how quickly it powers down the original source VMs and the speed at which it powers up the new VMs. The amount of time it takes to put up the operating system is valuable. The speed is what I like the best."

More Zerto pros

Cons

"I would like to see a better method of backing up Exchange in the cloud."

"They don't support a more current version of VMware."

"The vendor needs to changes billing to work like every other business and stop charging people if they stop using your service."

"The long-term recovery is a little bit weak in its granularity."

"Not all of the knowledge required for implementing Zerto is available in their online documentation for non-partners."

"Zerto's current reporting capabilities are insufficient for our needs."

"With the VPG (virtual protected group) it would be nice if you could pick individuals in the grouping instead of having to failover the whole group."

"The biggest pain points we have experienced are related to some of the SQL-intensive workloads just because the VPGs struggle a little bit to keep up. That might be because we are pushing too many transactions."

"Even though Zerto is for disaster recovery, it would be nice if it can also make backups."

"Customer service and technical support need improvement."

"Their support can be faster."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"iland is affordable."

"Billing practices for iLand are monthly. If you are a business and would like a yearly rate, good luck."

"The licensing costs are approximately $12,000 annually."

"The pricing is based on virtual machines. They need to do better in regards to their tiering pricing rather than one price per VM. A lot of times we have VMs that are lower tier, such as Tier 2 or Tier 3, but we pay the same price as for Tier 1. I know they are developing this out, but it would be nice if they could provide a little better pricing in regards to their tiering protection."

"Its licensing is yearly. You can do multi-year contracts, which is what we did. You pay per VM, and you replicate a license per VM. So, we bought about 20 licenses. We paid somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000. There is an initial upfront cost. Basically, you buy the license, and then you have a maintenance cost on top of that. So, the upfront cost is somewhere between $5,000 to $10,000. The maintenance is $5,000 to $10,000 over a three-year period."

"We subscribe to their annual license package and we have tier one support with them."

"Zerto’s licensing model has changed a bit over the last year and they are in alignment with others. It is pretty simple and more economical."

"I wouldn't say I like the licensing pricing structure. Every year, it increases exponentially, which bothers me a little. It's worth it in terms of the value, but I worry the price will increase even more often after the Zerto merger. I still think it's worth it and that the solution is cheaper than the others."

"The pricing is good. It's affordable."

"The pricing is a little more expensive in comparison to other tools."

"It is less expensive than the full solution that we had previously, but at the same time, it's not an inexpensive product either."
