Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed

The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

Near-zero downtime has protected critical workloads and now simplifies hybrid cloud recovery

The best features of HPE Zerto Software are mainly very sophisticated and relevant to the current market. The data protection CDP part has real-time replication, unlike other solutions that have snapshot backups. We can set it up hourly, making it ideal for use with workloads. Another attraction is the near-zero RTO, with automated failover within minutes and one-click failover and failback. Currently, we are using a hybrid cloud solution, and HPE Zerto Software supports multi-cloud environments, making it easy to migrate between on-premises and cloud. Regarding the impact of HPE Zerto Software on our RTOs, we have near-zero RTO, meaning the system must be back online within thirty minutes if we measure the time. It is very quick to recover services. With HPE Zerto Software's near-synchronous replication, we have some CDP protection, so we typically write interceptions along with some asynchronous replication. There is almost real-time replication available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes."

"I'd recommend it it's a really good, straightforward, easy use system, with no hidden strings."

"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."

"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."

"In that migration instance we had six terabytes of data that we needed to protect and bring online quickly, and we made the protection group switch and brought the systems back within less than 30 minutes."

"The solution is really good and I am super happy with Zerto."

"We have seen ROI. The biggest way that we have seen it is in avoided downtime. We have had outages before, and we count downtime in terms of dollars spent. We have cut that down so dramatically, which provides us a very quick ROI. We have drastically reduced the amount of time it takes us to recover workloads, from an average of two hours to an average of 10 minutes."

"Zerto's overall effect on our RPOs has been business critical, reducing our downtime so we can recover in five to six minutes versus 12 hours, which would have cost our organization $30,000."

"It's the easiest way to do disaster recovery."

"We had a disaster recovery four or five years ago. I can't remember what happened, but I believe something crashed in our data center, like a power outage. We did a failover of our network using Zerto from production to disaster recovery. We successfully completed the failover process in three or four hours without issue. The data was current, and the application owners could access their data and continue working while the issue was resolved."

"I would rate Zerto a ten out of ten."

"It's extremely easy to use HPE Zerto Software. Our first failover test went flawlessly. We failed over our entire data center, approximately 200 VMs in half an hour - very fast."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

Cons

"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."

"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."

"It was a little bit expensive."

"The backup end of this solution could be improved. We tried using it as a full backup solution and it took way too long to complete at least one backup."

"The alerting doesn't quite give you the information about what exactly is going on when an issue comes up. We do get alerts inside of our vCenter, but it doesn't quite give you accurate information inside the plugin to be able to tell us what's going on without having to go into the actual Zerto application and figuring out what's causing the issue."

"Adding or changing VPGs (Virtual Protection Groups) may require restarting replication."

"Zerto is too reliant on VMware's vCenter. It's tough to upgrade, move, or do anything related to virtual servers with vCenter."

"I need to get up to the latest version so I can move my journals to a particular LUN, saving them with a particular storage altogether, rather than with the virtual machine. This is not available until I upgrade, and I need to upgrade all my hypervisors. This would be something that would be nice to have if it could be used on older versions."

"A lot of the wording isn't very clear. If you don't know what you're looking at, it just doesn't make sense when you are setting it up."

"If I had to pick anything, it would be the documentation for upgrades. They need to make it easier for users to do upgrades without having to contact support, by providing better documentation for that."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."

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

"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."

"My understanding is that it's expensive but worth the price."

"From a customer perspective, the price is okay. From an investor's perspective, however, it is a little bit high."

"You need to figure out how many critical servers and applications you have in your environment so you will know how many Zerto licenses to buy."

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

"The pricing is pretty competitive to that of other options out there. When we shopped around, it was in line with the price of other solutions."

"Zerto is more expensive than competitors, making the price difference pretty high. While it is very expensive, it's very powerful and good at what it does. The cost is why we are not leveraging it for everything in the organization. If it was dirt cheap, we would have LTR and DR on everything because it would just make sense to use it."
