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.

Data restoration is the most valuable feature.
If I access my documents from the mobile app, I am also able to share these documents with accounts in other apps such as email, WhatsApp, Dropbox, google drive, etc. What I'd like is to be able to share a document or folder with other Mozy accounts (users), with limits of either under the same admin domains or even with other domains.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I appreciate the most about HPE Zerto Software is its fantastic replication and advanced problem-solving capabilities."
"With the deployment of Zerto, this has significantly improved."
"The solution's most valuable features are its user interface, ease of implementation, and ease of execution."
"The ability to test that my backup regime is actually doing and working as I want it to do is valuable."
"HPE Zerto Software has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to grow our business as an MSP, leading to a revenue increase of around 10%, and as a customer, we have not experienced any downtime for the past four years, achieving 100% uptime."
"Zerto is simple, fast, and reliable, and our clients like the charts we can produce and its near real time capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Zerto are the ease of use and recovery speed."
"The features of HPE Zerto Software that I appreciate the most are the continuous data protection and the ability to test."
"I was using Symantec Backup Exec, and we switched because Mozy is easier to use, and the cost is less."
"I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
"The data restoration feature is the most valuable because the end user requires minimum support to recover lost data."
"The ability to kick start the service live on the users machine; I also like the graphical representations of data space."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have the option to do automatic failover, but right now the only option is manual."
"The technical support is hit or miss."
"I always get some blowback about the cost."
"HPE Zerto Software offers limited functionalities in this area because HPE Zerto Software can analyze the data replicated and tell the customer if there are some anomalies."
"I would like to have automated load balancing of the ZVM's at the target site."
"For special situations, there are options within advanced settings. You don't have to dig too far for them, but they're not quite as straightforward."
"Recently, they started forcing everybody to use a Linux-based appliance for their z/VMs. That appliance has been extremely touchy and, in some cases, problematic."
"The HPE Zerto Software could be improved by including the ability to use FIDO keys or some kind of hard token for local accounts, not just a straight password or an external MFA, but a physical token."
"The selection of directories and files to back up can't be managed centrally, it has to be set on each user's computer."
"The support staff were directed to give support on specifics and to stick to the support plan; anything out of the ordinary would be a challenge."
"The sales support is too poor and there is no point of contact, local representatives are not in positions to assist or even provide a proposal."
"Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive, for sure, but for us, it comes down to the fact that we do not replicate our entire environment using Zerto. We replicate the mission-critical servers and services, so the yearly cost of Zerto is heavily outweighed by the potential cost of an outage."
"Zerto's pricing structure could be more competitive to better suit the needs of a wider range of businesses."
"The pricing is straightforward."
"Nothing is cheap, but Zerto represents decent value."
"I ballpark Zerto's pricing at about $1,000 per VM, which I find fair for what it does, but the cost of entry was tough initially due to the minimum number needed to start. I really needed to prove to the business that it was worth the investment."
"Its pricing is very competitive. As compared to VMware SRM, Zerto has reduced our OPEX cost by at least 30%."
"It is not the cheapest option on the market, but it offers a number of features that make it a good value for businesses that need a comprehensive disaster recovery plan."
"We have always been able to get the pricing worked out. At this new company I am right now, we are doing well. We sometimes go through a third party to help us with pricing, but Zerto is fairly decently priced, especially when you consider some of the other solutions that are out there which could be very expensive."
