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

"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."

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

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

"Overall, Zerto is a very good product for us."

"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."

"Zerto is very good at providing continuous data protection. For replication purposes, it's definitely better than Veeam. Veeam doesn't do as good a job as Zerto does when it comes to replication. The other alternative would be to just have backups somewhere. But even with backups, you lose a lot of time because you have to set it all up. With Zerto, you failover, you just click a couple of buttons and you run from the other location."

"Moving the VPGs from one location to another is a valuable feature. You just click on it and move it and it's done."

"Zerto's continuous data protection is unmatched. It's phenomenal. It's also very easy to use. The menus are self-explanatory. Once you understand the terminology of the product, what the VPGs (Virtual Protected Groups) are, you're able to pretty much do what you want in the product. It's very easy to use."

"HPE Zerto Software has helped tremendously with my organization's RTO and RPO, bringing it down to an hour rather than taking 12 hours to restore data the traditional way."

"It's given me tremendous peace of mind and confidence that the network can be recovered quickly and accurately."

"The speed of recovery with Zerto versus the speed of recovery with other disaster recovery solutions is night and day. We use Veeam for backups and the amount of time that it takes to recover is so much quicker mounting with Zerto. That's why we extended the journal so that we could capture a few more days and make it easier for us to recover files."

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."

"When we migrated to new virtual infrastructure, we had to set up Zerto all over again. And that took a long time. It would be nice if Zerto had some sort of migration tool where you could migrate all of your virtual machines to a new infrastructure without having to set up Zerto all over again."

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

"Automated protection of workloads from one site to another could be improved."

"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."

"Zerto can improve by offering bare metal recovery for our physical infrastructure."

"We had a situation where we had to relicense VMs once they were moved over."

"The tool must improve its long-term storage cloud strategy, making it more seamless and improving the solution's downtime features."

"They have moved to appliances, and the configuration of appliances is a bit complicated."

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."

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

"Obviously, I wish it were cheaper and more affordable. But I get what I pay for, so I can't complain."

"They should adjust the pricing because I feel its price is too much. If they reduce the price, there will be more users and customers."

"Compared to other options like SRM, Zerto is a more expensive solution, making it primarily suitable for larger organizations."

"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."

"License-wise, we budgeted $1,000 per VM. The minimum spend on it, in the beginning, can sometimes be a little bit of a headache for people, and they might have to budget creatively to get there, but once you're there, the renewals are worth it."

"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."

"The cost per VM is a bit high."
