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.

Migration projects have become faster and have saved significant time on complex workloads

OpenText Migrate is our primary tool. I know they have a lot of other products like DNS and tools from cybersecurity, but we don't use it at this time. On Demand Recovery, for recovery, we use another tool from OpenText. It's C2C. It's a product to back up the mailbox. I don't know what I can find at this time. So maybe yes, but the last time I used it was a few months ago. It does the job, so I don't have an opinion on this currently. They don't have a lot of marketing actions. We know this product because we are an OpenText partner for the C2C. But it's another division. It's another part of the company. So we don't have a lot of information. So, I think they can improve the communication for the end-user because a lot of customers do not know OpenText, and they don't know they can provide this type of tool. My overall rating for this product is 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"We have used Zerto to recover from ransomware three times and between the attacks we have recovered over 2 million files, never paid a ransom, and our users were only affected for just under two hours."

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

"The near-synchronous replication is key. That has allowed us to provide the low RPOs that we promise. For key systems, that has been the deciding factor."

"Zerto is the simplest disaster recovery and data recovery solution I've ever deployed, and I've been doing this for 30-plus years."

"Zerto gives us peace of mind knowing that if we were attacked by ransomware, we would be able to recover data from the time before the ransomware to get us back to being fully functional."

"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."

"In general, when we have done our recent testing using the Zerto portions, once we say, "Okay, we are doing this now," it is taking less than three minutes on average for the systems to be fully back online at the new location once we start."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

"The solution is user-friendly."

"OpenText Migrate is a very good product because it is an older product and they have a lot of tools, and they have a lot of experience on the migration tools."

"Carbonite Migrate is helpful on an infrastructure level."

"Carbonite Migrate works well in Windows platform migrations and in the case of a VML platform. The migration is smooth in Windows environments."

"Carbonite Migrate is helpful on an infrastructure level."

"It is a good third-party migration tool because it can be used with clients who have heterogeneous environments."

Cons

"I haven't been a super big fan of the support area. The support could really be better in terms of responsiveness."

"There can be a bit more logging. It seems a bit harder to find logs for test restores and all that. If they had a way to email the results of a test restore, that would be excellent."

"The support for this solution could be improved. It is challenging for staff who actually understand the product."

"The biggest improvement would be exporting VPGs and a configuration of VPGs, as well as increasing or improving their IP customization rule set."

"Zerto has not saved us time in a data recovery situation due to ransomware because we did not have it correctly configured."

"We do have some sites that are very low-bandwidth sites. Zerto is able to set throttling in the solution, but the throttling is set at a site-wide level. In those instances that have very low bandwidth, I can't reduce the throttling on that site. It would be nice if there were a way to control the throttling by the protection group for a specific workload."

"Better alerting is something that I feel is critical."

"It needs more documentation and automation features. I would like more documentation on designing an environment and network operations."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

"Carbonite failed when moving GIS data."

"We find it very difficult to use these tools in a multi-cloud environment"

"Migration in RHEL and Linux environments can be improved."

"Migration in RHEL and Linux environments can be improved. During RHEL migration with multiple data areas, you have to create a similar source environment at the destination. This can be challenging because you have to install it, create the VM, install over it, and mount it at the mount point. Only then can you do the migration."

"If we had to move 100 applications across a multi-cloud environment, then this solution would not work."

"The pricing for the customer is always too expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very reasonably priced. It's a little more than $3,000 annually. That works out to about $20 per server per month."

"We found that in an event that was massive enough to cause an entire cluster to go offline we would be happy with our core services up and running."

"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."

"It was a little higher. We were in a corporate agreement, and we had a software package that included RP for VM. It is easy to compare pricing when you are already in a corporate agreement. Zerto lost on the pricing scorecard."

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

"Zerto is very cost-effective. We get really great value for the cost of the service."

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

"I think the cost is reasonable for VM licensing. It's not outside the scope of an enterprise product."

More HPE Zerto Software pricing and cost advice

"The licensing costs are really high."

"In terms of pricing, I think it's an expensive tool."
