HPE Zerto Software vs Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service comparison

"The ability to test that my backup regime is actually doing and working as I want it to do is valuable."

"The low SLA times are valuable. It is very easy to use with a straightforward user setup."

"The features I have found most valuable in HPE Zerto Software are the replication using the virtual VPGs."

"Zerto stands out for its user-friendly approach to data protection and recovery, allowing for quick and efficient backups and restores."

"I am quite familiar with the user interface. It is easy for me to operate and perform different operations because I am an experienced user. In my opinion, the user interface is easy to understand and operate. The user interface is user-friendly."

"When we replicated our data, I turned up the machine, and it was up in seconds. It blew my mind. I could not believe it."

"The core functionality is what's beautiful about it."

"The ability to test a failover non-disruptively with Zerto is valuable, as it doesn't create any downtime for the business."

"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."

"One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization, I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied."

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"One-Click Disaster Recovery improves the overall business processes within an organization, I am very satisfied with its performance, and our customers are equally satisfied."

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"The syncing of the replication needs improvement. My experience has been that, every once in a while, when you go to do a failover, it tells you it's not syncing. Then you have to troubleshoot and figure out why it's not fully synced up."

"I would suggest improving automatic updates. Their software requires updating level by level to keep it current. I was unaware that I was several versions behind, so I needed assistance to guide me to the current version."

"When I have a technical question, it sometimes takes a while for tech support to respond."

"It would be nice to have the option to do automatic failover, but right now the only option is manual."

"The challenge we faced occurred during a DR for a database server running on SQL Always On. We experienced a database crash and logged a case with Zerto about a year ago. They said that they do not support Always On."

"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."

"The solution is very expensive."

"The solution has not saved me time in data recovery situations due to ransomware or other causes at this company, but it did at the previous company."

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us."

"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."

"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

"It needs to work more to comply with all available certificates for compliance, including healthcare, financial sector, and Aramco-specific requirements."

"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

"The pricing could be better."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"Zerto's pricing structure could be more competitive to better suit the needs of a wider range of businesses."

"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."

"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."

"The product's pricing is the one area where it is less competitive."

"I've been told that when they originally got the quote, it was a little bit of a sticker shock. However, now that we've actually been using it for six months, I've been told that the investment was well worth it."

"The pricing is slightly above average, but the immediate and comprehensive support makes the price acceptable."

"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."

"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"Besides the license, there are additional costs with the network connection. The customer may want a direct connection between the two data centers and that has an extra cost."
