Enables disaster recovery in the cloud and has good migration features
Pros and Cons
  • "I've found the migration feature very valuable."

    What is our primary use case?

    One of our biggest use cases has been migrations. We migrated the virtual machines in one of our data centers using Zerto.

    How has it helped my organization?

    We're in the middle of a migration that Zerto has made much easier. We also use it for many standard disaster recovery cases. It constantly keeps our services running.

    Zerto's near-synchronous replication is a key component. It's essential.

    Zerto enables disaster recovery in the cloud, which is very important. It creates another level of protection to have an alternate location outside of on-premises.

    It helps protect VMs in our environment. It's certainly better than a traditional nightly backup.

    What is most valuable?

    I've found the migration feature very valuable. It starts like a disaster recovery scenario where you're just replicating the VMs. Then it all gets synced up, and you decide when to make the cutover. 

    This is instead of having to do a more traditional conversion of the VMs or shutting them down and migrating the data, which is less efficient.

    The seamlessness of a cutover is very helpful.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Zerto for around five years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It offers good stability. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We haven't scaled it too much, but in our experience, we haven't had any issues with it.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We still use a different disaster recovery solution but for different use cases. 

    Zerto didn't completely replace our other backup solutions.

    What was our ROI?

    There are cost savings for the migration in particular.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    From the migration standpoint, they're flexible with the licensing. You own the license and can apply it to a machine and then pull it back, apply it to another machine, and so on.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    For the migration piece, we evaluated different solutions but not for the disaster recovery replication. We knew from the migration piece that it would work well.

    What other advice do I have?

    For me, it's a ten. I haven't had any issues with it so far.

    It enables us to set the IPs and map everything out in our environment prior to migration
    Pros and Cons
    • "Zerto is intuitive. We could set everything up in the environment within a day and a half and start migrating on the third day."
    • "Right now, if you have an error, it creates a link that takes you to a website to review information about the problem. It would be nice if Zerto could give you information within the app instead of referring you to a web application."

    What is our primary use case?

    We've been using Zerto for data center migration, but we will begin using it for disaster recovery. Because of some data center issues, we're still using version 9.5. One of our data centers is at 6.5 and the other one is at 7, so we can't move any or upgrade to 10.

    What is most valuable?

    Zerto enables us to set the IPs and map everything out in our environment prior to migration. We can create VPGs and mass migrate applications, databases, and web clients. That was the selling point for us. The product is easy to use. We had a 30-minute onboarding process from our sales engineer, who showed us how to use it. 

    We don't use near-synchronous replication yet. It will be essential when we start using Zerto for DR, but it isn't a big deal during our current migration. Once we have a DR site, it will be essential to have those time slots we can restore to in the event of malware and ransomware. 

    What needs improvement?

    Right now, if you have an error, it creates a link that takes you to a website to review information about the problem. It would be nice if Zerto could give you information within the app instead of referring you to a web application.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    Zerto for two years.

    How was the initial setup?

    Zerto is intuitive. We could set everything up in the environment within a day and a half and start migrating on the third day.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Zerto 10 out of 10.

    Scalable solution that reduces downtime during migrations
    Pros and Cons
    • "The ease of use and simplicity in moving things without having to do a cross-v set of V-motions has been most valuable. It saves time and effort and it eliminates mistakes."
    • "The licensing is confusing and complicated."

    What is our primary use case?

    Our main use case for this solution is the data center migration. We are in the process of moving from our legacy data center and all the VMs into our new data center.

    In the future, we would like to look more into disaster recovery using Zerto but that's a much longer process and we are still looking into it.

    How has it helped my organization?

    The speed of recovery with Zerto is at least five to ten times faster. It helped us reduce downtime during migrations. There would've been a lot more downtime had we done a standard migration across data centers, powering everything down. This downtime would have cost our company millions.

    What is most valuable?

    The ease of use and simplicity in moving things without having to do a cross vCenter V-motions has been most valuable. It saves time and effort and it eliminates mistakes. This project would've been years if not for Zerto. We completed it in months instead of years.

    What needs improvement?

    The licensing is confusing and complicated.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using this solution for two years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    This is a stable solution. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    This is a scalable solution. We used it for our biggest data center and it handled it just fine. We haven't personally had to scale it up, but if we needed to, we definitely could.

    How are customer service and support?

    Support has been pretty good. I would rate it a nine out of ten. 

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I personally have not used other solutions other than just what's built into VMware. When comparing the VMware native solution versus Zerto, it's night and day. It's much simpler and straightforward to set up.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is straightforward. It is streamlined with simple instructions. Anybody can do it as long as they understand their infrastructure.

    What about the implementation team?

    We had a contractor that we brought in to help us with it. 

    What was our ROI?

    We have seen return in our investment with Zerto due to the speed and usability and being able to do this huge project with limited hiccups.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would advise others that the cost of this solution is justified based on the value you receive. 

    I would rate Zerto a nine out of ten. 

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    Does what it says it will do when it comes to providing continuous data protection
    Pros and Cons
    • "Being hardware agnostic is nice in that we don't really need a 15 second recovery time. It's easy to use. It's always doing updates behind the scenes. These are the positive things. The setup is pretty easy. Building out the VPGs is pretty easy. And it works like it's supposed to."
    • "There are still some pieces in testing that aren't automated. There are still some built-in scripts or workflows I wish Zerto would do out-of-the-box, versus having to PowerShell or have a vendor create it, or create it myself."

    What is our primary use case?

    Our primary use case is for our Tier 1 application environment, we're an SQL environment. We have around 25 VMs that are replicated to a hot site or warm site. And we're a VMware shop and we use Pure Storage as our SAN, but that doesn't matter because Zerto's agnostic. 

    We're a small shop. I am the only Zerto user and my official title is Senior Systems Engineer. I handle anything data center-related as far as information stack, the blades, networking, VMware Hypervisor, and Pure Storage. We also have a Citrix environment as well we have to support. I do all of the data center work.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Zerto is a set it and forget it kind of thing. At least it's more of an insurance policy for us. We don't have a good DR plan, but the peace of mind knowing that the data is replicated off-site, like a repository or offsite environment, there is value to that. We just haven't been able to fully embrace the actual testing of the failover and failback process. The testing has worked, but we haven't done a full production failover yet. We've been planning for around a year to do one but it keeps getting pushed back.

    What is most valuable?

    Being hardware agnostic is nice in that we don't really need a 15 second recovery time. It's easy to use. It's always doing updates behind the scenes. These are the positive things. The setup is pretty easy. Building out the VPGs is pretty easy. And it works like it's supposed to.

    Zerto does what it says it will do when it comes to providing continuous data protection. It gives me all my recovery points up to 15 seconds or less. So if need be, we could recover to that point in time that it says it can do.

    Zerto is easy to use for the most part. It's pretty simplistic. The UI is pretty simplistic. There are some things that I'm waiting for newer releases to address some functionality that I'm curious to see has been fixed or not in the new version.

    What needs improvement?

    There are still some pieces in testing that aren't automated. There are still some built-in scripts or workflows I wish Zerto would do out-of-the-box, versus having to PowerShell or have a vendor create it, or create it myself. We haven't done a full failback yet of production so I couldn't really say. The failover process is a lot of manual steps, but Zerto is a mechanism that gets the data there. In that aspect, it does what it's supposed to do. But I wish they would expand on their out-of-the-box functionality for the VM. When you fail it over, there are DNS and SQL changes and there are reboots. There are some things I wish that Zerto would facilitate with a checkbox that would do some of these things for me versus having to PowerShell it and put the scripts in a certain place and have support run it. I want it more automated if possible.

    The issue I have with ransomware is if I don't know I have ransomware in all my recovery points, and if it goes three months, I wish Zerto somehow either bought a company or could tell me that we're infected with ransomware. If I don't know how ransomware and everything gets encrypted, there's nothing to restore back to if all my recovery points have been corrupted. So I wish Zerto somehow had a mechanism to alert me of suspicious activity.

    We have a Trend product that does that for us. We can get alerts of things that Trend finds, but it's always nice to have layers for your security. We have alternatives, but it would be nice if Zerto had a mechanism to alert me as well.

    Alerting has also been a pain but it was supposed to be fixed in the newer version and that's. I would like to have more granular alerts.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Zerto for about four years now. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    When it comes to stability, it does what it says it's going to do. 

    I do some babysitting because the alerts are relentless. My biggest pain point is the endless amount of alerts that are just noise. I have to log in and see what actually is an issue because the alerts are just endless. There's not much maintenance I have to do besides logging in and babysitting from time to time.

    We keep wanting to test it. It's our main DR strategy, but we just haven't had a window to vet full failover and failback. As far as increasing, I think we're pretty stagnant at the point with what we're backing up with it.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I would rate Zerto support a seven out of ten. 

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was straightforward. You could deploy the VRAs pretty simplistically as long as you set an IP via the UI, so that was pretty easy. We were up and running in a day.

    Our implementation strategy was rushed. We were doing a data center move and we just wanted an extra copy of the data. So this was a stop-gap solution that we stuck with.

    What about the implementation team?

    We used a reseller for the deployment. They met our expectations. They provide the product, but outside the product, we have to get a stronger resource. If it goes above and beyond like if it's broken, they call Zerto support. If I want some PowerShell scripts and some cool stuff to be done, they need to find a resource. They provide the basic service, which is great. Above and beyond that, they're average or below average.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    We pay monthly for the CPU, memory, disk space, the Zerto replication, and then there's a Microsoft charge as well on top of that for the operating system. We pay month to month and we go year to year.

    There are additional VM resource costs.

    My advice would be to think about the large VMs that you're backing up. Think about the wasted disk space and wasted resources on your production environment, and if you replicate that to a hot or warm site, you have to pay for those resources. The Zerto price is what it is, so you need to work with the business and ensure your Tier 1 or most critical VMs are what you're backing up or want to back up, not just everything. Then scale that to something manageable for replication and find out if you can have minimum resources while replicating and then scale up in a true DR scenario and only pay for the resources as you need them.

    What other advice do I have?

    It's not really Zerto's fault, but you don't have full visibility on the protected site so you have to rely on your vendor for visibility if an issue arises.

    I would advise asking a lot of questions. If you're an SQL environment, make sure you failover all the key components in the correct way. If you want it fully automated, make sure you buy some extra hours to get professional support.

    I would rate Zerto an eight out of ten.

    The return to operations is the most valuable feature because it decreases the amount of time it takes us to recover
    Pros and Cons
    • "The return to operations is the most valuable feature because it decreases the amount of time it takes us to recover."
    • "The documentation needs improvement in terms of the setup, getting enough detail, and getting that up to speed."

    What is our primary use case?

    We have Zerto as an emergency backup if we were to lose electricity or compute.

    I purchased Zerto because I wanted to get a return to operations and to minimize the downtime.

    What is most valuable?

    The return to operations is the most valuable feature because it decreases the amount of time it takes us to recover. 

    Zerto is the best of breed when it comes to providing continuous data protection.

    It has a number of features rolled together. So when we need to failover, it does it successfully without a lot of stuff that we have to tune underneath the scenes. We use Zerto for the short-term retention of the data.

    I would rate its ease of use as an eight out of ten. It has made it a lot easier for us to failover. Usually, in the past, we had to manually go and bring things up and this automates it.

    The solution decreases the time it takes and the people we need when we need to fail back or move workloads. It saves around eight hours and one person. We had started off with two to three people.

    It could save us time in a data recovery situation due to ransomware or other causes but we haven't used it for that.

    We haven't had something where we had to recover data using this product, but I assume it would reduce the number of staff involved in data recovery situations.

    It has helped to reduce downtime in testing but we haven't had a serious issue where we had to switch over and use it.

    What needs improvement?

    The documentation needs improvement in terms of the setup, getting enough detail, and getting that up to speed.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Zerto for about a year. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    We found Zerto to be pretty stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We haven't had problems with scalability.

    We don't really have users. We just have data that we move over which is basically the size of the campus.

    We need at least one full-time employee to run it.

    It's used for all of our failovers so it's in 100% usage.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I have had a little bit of experience with their technical support. I don't have any issues with them.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    The ease of use, compared to other products, is much better. Zerto is all-encompassing. 

    How was the initial setup?

    We had to work on it for about a week to get it running the way we wanted. It took so long because of the fine-tuning. We could have set it up within three hours or something just as a test to see at work, but not necessarily do everything we wanted to do.

    The time it took to sync the data up took a little bit longer.

    What was our ROI?

    We'll probably see ROI in around three years. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The pricing is more expensive, but the functionality is what we wanted.

    There are no additional costs to standard licensing.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We also looked at Druva. We liked the flexibility that we get with Zerto. 

    What other advice do I have?

    You'll be happy with Zerto.

    The biggest lesson I have learned from Zerto is to be patient. 

    I would rate Zerto a nine out of ten.

    We were able to migrate from co-lo to on-prem without losing any time
    Pros and Cons
    • "Moving the VPGs from one location to another is a valuable feature. You just click on it and move it and it's done."
    • "If there is a mass of changes to a server, Zerto will restart the replication. It would be nice to know why that happens."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use it for DR and general backup. We have snapshots or shadow copies with Microsoft and we do Zerto backups to our other locations so we can always get the data back.

    How has it helped my organization?

    We bought Zerto, in the beginning, to migrate a very important system of the airline from a co-lo that was managed by the co-lo to our on-prem. As an airline, you can't be down because you could cause a ground stop. With Zerto, we were able to migrate all those things across to on-prem without touching anything or losing any time. We took very little downtime.

    Also, we've run into some situations where, for some reason, Windows has lost some of the files. I have been able to fail it over to our other data center and they were back up in 10 minutes.

    The speed of recovery with Zerto versus other disaster recovery solutions is vastly better. Whereas with the others, I'd have to spin through a lot of stuff and find things, with Zerto I can scroll back in the GUI, find the one I want, and restore it. If that's not right, I can destroy it and go back a little bit more in time.

    And our being an ultra-low-cost airline, we don't have staff, so it helps in that way.

    It has also helped our DR testing because we can fail over the main part that runs the airline within 45 minutes. The first time, it took me an hour and a half. The second time, it took about an hour. The last time I did it, it took about 45 minutes. That's within the timeframe of one hour where we don't have to do a ground stop.

    What is most valuable?

    Moving the VPGs from one location to another is a valuable feature. You just click on it and move it and it's done. We have a stretch VLAN between our data centers so it's really easy: this is IP here and the same IP is there. So if something happens or somebody wants to test something, I can fail it over.

    Another aspect that I use a lot is that I can fail it over into its own little bubble and I can install software that I want to test to make sure it doesn't break something. I can do that and then roll it all back.

    What needs improvement?

    If there is a mass of changes to a server, Zerto will restart the replication. It would be nice to know why that happens. 

    The other thing that I've run into lately is that when I've done a whole bunch of upgrades to systems, so they're offline, they get stuck in a pending state. You can never get them out so you have to delete and start all over again. It would be nice if they could make it a little simpler to figure out what's wrong.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Zerto for about six years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It always just runs. I don't have to worry about it or keep checking it. It just does its thing.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It's very scalable. Fortunately, we bought a bunch of licenses when we first bought it and we've been growing into those licenses over the years. It has been very scalable for us.

    How are customer service and support?

    The technical support has been good, although I've had a couple of situations where they've said some things that were totally inaccurate. But you have that in all organizations.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Since I started with this airline, we have gone through two other solutions. Zerto is the third and we've stuck with it for quite a few years.

    One of the other solutions was a direct product that dumped everything to a storage area in the cloud and it never was consistent. The other was a Dell application backup that no longer exists. That was just too limiting and its backup was never consistent.

    Zerto is much easier to use. Once you get the concept down of what it's doing, it's really easy to bring up backups, restore backups, move things around, and test things. It's very easy.

    What about the implementation team?

    I had one of their sales reps in Colorado help me through the setup. Then we just took it over.

    What was our ROI?

    The ROI is in "funny money." It's my time and how long something is down or how long it takes somebody to restore something, and that is much faster.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The pricing seems really good. We're an enterprise customer, so we get all the bells and whistles.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We evaluated a couple of things, but one of our co-los was actually using Zerto so we looked at it as a result. That is what led us to buy it.

    Journaling allows us to leverage for sub-minute recoveries
    Pros and Cons
    • "Journaling allows us to leverage Zerto's journal for sub-minute recoveries, instead of having to wait for the storage array to replicate."
    • "The full site recovery is not up to SRM standards."
    • "It is difficult to manage failing over between sites if you are at the site that was impacted."

    What is our primary use case?

    We were able to replace most of VMware SRM with this solution. It allows us to failover individual machines or application clusters with ease. The one thing that it does not do nicely is a full site failover. We have never needed that aspect though (only for testing).

    How has it helped my organization?

    We have leveraged the individual server failovers a number of times, and it has saved us a lot of man hours (doing things such as rebuilding, fighting viruses, or forcing more servers to failover than we wanted). It has been a phenomenal addition, and proved its worth in the pilot phase, when it saved us from having to rebuild a machine that was included in our pilot trial.

    What is most valuable?

    Journaling allows us to leverage Zerto's journal for sub-minute recoveries, instead of having to wait for the storage array to replicate. The solution is well worth the money invested.

    What needs improvement?

    The full site recovery is not up to SRM standards. Within a VPG, you can do great failover timing as well as ordering and scripting, but if your site contains many VPGs (as mine does), then it is difficult to manage failing over between sites, especially if you are at the site that was impacted.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    Less than one year.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    None. Even the upgrades are speedy and easy. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    None. As long as you have the licenses, it goes smoothly.

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I have contacted their vendor support in regards to backup performance of SQL databases. They provided me with adequate instruction and background information to be able to adjust my environment to better suit Zerto's processes. It's been smooth sailing since.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    VMware Site Recovery Manager. We changed from this vendor because we hit the 75 license threshold and were forced to consider the conversion to Enterprise. We searched the marketplace and Zerto was a great fit for our needs.

    How was the initial setup?

    It was straightforward and easy. I was able to install it myself without any help from Zerto.

    What about the implementation team?

    In-house was all that was necessary. It only required one engineer to work for about two hours to install everything, and then a week to configure and protect the entire environment. This will vary depending on your link to your DR site.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The cost is steep, but once you experience recovering a single server along with its granular restore times, you will see that the cost is justified.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We evaluated Unitrends.

    What other advice do I have?

    Make sure that you understand the limitations of any software before you dive in. Make sure you document your use cases and have the vendor show you how it can perform those tasks.

    It is easy and simple. Allows administrators to sleep at night.
    Pros and Cons
    • "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."
    • "We would like more mobile options. If we are at a restaurant or out and about in our normal daily lives, we would like to be able to interface via our mobiles."

    What is our primary use case?

    We have three locations. We replicate circularly around all those locations for all our VMs. This is for DR.

    How has it helped my organization?

    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.

    Luckily, we haven't actually had to do a full failover. We have tested it many times, and it proves out okay, but we don't have to spend a lot of time managing it.

    Our insurance companies provide assistance with staff or boots on the ground. Whereas, using Zerto has allowed us to act very quickly with just our current team. We can fail over and switch over to our disaster recovery site, instead of having to bring in a bigger team.

    What is most valuable?

    It is amazingly simple to use, monitor, look at, and utilize. It is great for that.

    What needs improvement?

    We would like more mobile options. If we are at a restaurant or out and about in our normal daily lives, we would like to be able to interface via our mobiles.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using it for about five years.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Scalability is simple. If you just add more virtual managers, then you are good to go.

    How are customer service and support?

    Our customer rep, success manager, and engineer are great.

    Luckily, I haven't had to use the technical support that often. The times that I have, it has been fantastic. They quickly had me where I needed to be, which is top-notch and good.

    I would rate them as eight or nine out of 10. Nobody is perfect.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    It gives us peace of mind. Before we had disaster recovery and long-term retention protection against ransomware, it was one of those things that kept us up at night.

    We previously used VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) and Veeam for backup. Zerto is way better and more friendly. Zerto's interface, simplicity, and reliability are definitely better than SRM.

    When we were using SRM, it didn't have a web interface. Zerto's web interface makes it easier to navigate. When we used SRM, it was an actual application. It was a bit clunkier and a lot more difficult to use. However, it has been awhile, so it might not be a fair comparison at this point.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial deployment was pretty simple. The implementation took less than half a day. It has been awhile, but it was very seamless, easy, and did not take very long. We were up and running pretty quickly.

    What about the implementation team?

    Zerto was involved with the initial deployment. We paid for their Professional Services, who walked us through the whole thing. It was very simple.

    What was our ROI?

    Our technology committee established an RPO and RTO. We beat those times with Zerto. We have a 30-minute RTO and we can recover within seconds. We have far exceeded any expectations so far.

    From the simple point of not having to worry about whether or not we are protected in the event of ransomware or disaster, it is worth the money.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The pricing seems fair.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We looked at other solutions around five years ago.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would recommend buying it. It is easy and simple. It works. It is all the things that any administrator would want. You don't need to spend a lot of time messing with it and you can sleep at night.

    I would rate this solution as eight out of 10 because nothing is perfect.
