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.

User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement

While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the rollback feature that captures every couple of minutes. Whenever we have a server that goes down, we can use that to pull it back a couple of minutes before and it's good to go."

"The most valuable tool is the dashboard, which allows us to immediately check the DLP status, replication data, and all other data needed to have cleaner and immediate control of the situation."

"The communication between the VM and the secondary data center is the most valuable feature."

"The long-term journal is one feature that is useful in that it allows us to use the product as both CDP and backup."

"My customers said that though they had to pay for it, they were glad they bought it because Zerto works."

"We can use Zerto to help protect our VMs."

"Real-time or near real-time replication has been the most valuable feature. Our RTO is generally between six and eight seconds. The impact on our RTO is essential."

"Zerto also improves application availability as our business continues to increase our lifespan."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

"Technical support is perfect, they are very helpful."

"In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."

"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."

"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."

"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"Zerto needs to improve its support for VMware Lifecycle Manager."

"My only suggestion for how HPE Zerto Software could be improved would be to integrate with other virtualization platforms, as many organizations are moving off of VMware, so having options there would be beneficial."

"I would rate them an eight out of ten because not every response is as we expect. They do resolve the issue, but sometimes customers have unusual questions, and they are not able to say how exactly to fix that or how to do something,."

"Zerto was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and it shows with their level-one guys. They're not as vested in the product."

"While going in, we were looking at the backup tool so that we had a DR tool and a backup tool, but they stopped developing their backup solution built into it. That was a bummer for us, so now, we have a DR solution, and we have a backup solution."

"The performance was generally good, but occasional lag disrupted the flow, leaving room for improvement."

"Regarding my experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing, I think on the pricing side, I don't generally deal with it, but from what I hear from my finance team, it's somewhat on the higher side. If licensing could be reduced, that would be beneficial."

"It's pretty expensive per server."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

"The flexibility results in more administrative GUI. The GUI needs improvement."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."

"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

"Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage."

"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."

"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It's not the cheapest tool, it's expensive. But it's doing a good job."

"Everyone knows Zerto is a little on the expensive side, but what else is there on the market that does the same thing?"

"Zerto is not overly expensive. It's worth what we're getting for it, but with tough times, a discount would be beneficial."

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

"Zerto's pricing model is cost-prohibitive for small—to medium-sized businesses."

"Its licensing is yearly. You can do multi-year contracts, which is what we did. You pay per VM, and you replicate a license per VM. So, we bought about 20 licenses. We paid somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000. There is an initial upfront cost. Basically, you buy the license, and then you have a maintenance cost on top of that. So, the upfront cost is somewhere between $5,000 to $10,000. The maintenance is $5,000 to $10,000 over a three-year period."

"I do not like the current pricing model because the product has been divided into different components and they are charging for them individually."

More HPE Zerto Software pricing and cost advice

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
