HPE Zerto Software vs Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service comparison

"It protect and provide DR."

"The product is superior compared to the other vendors."

"Since we are at a bank, there are certain protocols in place where we need to have RPO and RTO times of two hours or less. Zerto does a great job of setting those times and alerting us if those can't be met. We have our help desk actively monitoring that. It is extremely helpful that Zerto lists what is falling out of compliance in regards to RPO and RTO. It has been great in that regard."

"It's very stable. It doesn't require a lot of intervention."

"There is one one-click remediation for ransomware."

"It provides real-time backup"

"The replication piece with the built-in WAN compression is important because the network circuit that we send our replication traffic across isn't actually behind our normal WAN accelerators. We were able to use Zerto's built-in WAN acceleration to help those workloads compress."

"We selected Zerto because the RPO is extremely low, so you can get that server back up almost immediately. That was a huge thing. Also, the ability to do failover tests, where you can test your environment, but not have it impact your production environment, was huge."

"The best features of Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service include real-time synchronization with the best RTO and RPO, inbuilt data protection with snapshot feature functionality, automatic DR site upgrades, ISO certified compliance reporting, and seamless integration with over 1800 certified software applications."

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

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"The solution is stable."

"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."

"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

"The backup solution needs to be improved. From our perspective, Veeam and Zerto were competing products. They both do very unique things that they're very good at. For instance, Veeam can do replication well. However, it's really a backup product."

"The pricing could always be lower."

"I would like to see a separate product offer for performing backups, although I think that this is something that they are expecting to release in the next version."

"Zerto is solid. However, they are working on a cloud workload protection and protecting virtual workloads to more than one site."

"When it comes to failover tests, we would like to be able to take that extra step to shut things down and see what it looks like at the other site versus just doing it in a virtual environment."

"The backup functions are in need of improvement."

"The only issue I've ever had is that I wish that Zerto would work more closely with VMware. There have been a few times that Zerto has released an update but it wasn't supported with that version of VMware. I would like them to coordinate their updates with VMware's updates."

"One thing I would like to see in their roadmap is introducing long-term storage in the cloud such as Azure or AWS. They can make it more seamless."

"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 pricing could be better."

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

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"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."

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

"It is cost-effective."

"It is not the cheapest product; it is not the most expensive product, but it works. It is a mid-range product, and it is justified in terms of being pretty quick and easy."

"Price-wise, it works fine for me, but my budgetary team is always looking for ways to cut costs, and it seems like they first look at the data center and the IT side to find savings."

"Pricing depends on your future growth. Start small and then scale up."

"I wish it were cheaper, but I would purchase it again at the same price."

"Zerto previously had a perplexing licensing structure, but they have since resolved it by implementing a unified license."

"Licensing Zerto was very simple. They had a product that fit our size and scale. It made it really easy to choose."

"Zerto is reasonably price for the product that you're getting. We keep on buying more licenses, so it's a good price."

"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."

"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."

"I always want it to be cheaper."
