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 real-time replication of data is the most valuable feature. It is a vast improvement in scheduled daily backups. Real-time data is streamed to the offsite data center, which allows us to restore our mission-critical applications up to 10 seconds from when the last changes were made in our system. If we enter a sales order or enter any kind of information in our ERP application it is replicated within 10 seconds to the offsite location."

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

"Since the log files are continuously transmitted, the granularity of restores is amazing."

"Stable disaster recovery solution with a very simple setup and fast failover."

"The biggest piece of advice I could give is if you want the best-in-class for failover and replication, as well as ease of management, there is no better product that I've seen so far."

"I would give it an eight out of 10, if not a nine out of 10, when it comes to ease of use."

"We are moving to a new data center. There are several VMs that we have to move over there that have RDM disks or SQL clusters. Those are the hardest things to move at this point in time, but now that I have the setup and it is ready to go, all we have to do is just flip the switch and get everything over where they are supposed to be. It is going to be a lifesaver for me. It will save me a whole lot of time in putting things back together."

"Some of the most valuable features are the synchronous replication and migration with RDMs. I really like the conversion of RDM VMs for migration."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

"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."

"The solution is user-friendly."

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

"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."

Cons

"Now, everything is moving to the cloud and many modern app solutions are based on virtualization and cloud, however, for situations where Unix platforms are used, we'd like them to be able to support that."

"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."

"From a reliability perspective, the product is around seven. It's less reliable than others, for example."

"Better communication around pricing would be useful - particularly in light of the economic and tariff situation we have going on."

"The pricing could be a little bit lower."

"Right now, if you have an error, it creates a link that takes you to a website to review information about the problem. It would be nice if Zerto could give you information within the app instead of referring you to a web application."

"There is a need to allow the source vCenter Inventory to be imported with a single click."

"We have had issues with licensing, where the license we've been given by Zerto support doesn't include VSS replication, which was a pain at the time."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

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

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

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

"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."

"Carbonite failed when moving GIS data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While conducting our proof of concept, I compared prices with just one other vendor. At the time, the price for Zerto was more favorable."

"We're getting our money's worth with Zerto."

"Licensing is VM based so you can buy packages or single VM. Price is not low but the power of application is high, so you will get your money back."

"Get the Enterprise Cloud license because it's the most flexible, and the pricing should come in around $1,000 per VM."

"It is an enterprise-grade product. When you buy enterprise-grade tools, you have to expect to pay a higher price. It goes back to the idea of you get what you pay for."

"The licensing costs are not cheap. It is kind of an expensive product. However, I am a get-what-you-pay-for kind of person. After using this product, I can understand why the licensing costs are high."

"Zerto is a little bit on the higher side in terms of pricing. It would be better if they had a pay-as-you-go package."

"When they changed their licensing model, pricing might have gotten a little more expensive for some use cases, but it has been pretty straightforward."
