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.

Seamless integration supports small teams with existing skills

The most valuable feature we've found with Veritas CloudPoint so far is the lack of a learning curve because the team was already familiar with all of the consoles and how to build policies. As they started to use it in Azure, they were able to continue doing things as they were used to doing them rather than having to learn a new tool. The efficiency gain we've experienced is that we were able to start deploying backup policies to Azure without having to learn a new tool, even though there are arguments about overhead and granularity if one uses native Azure backup tools compared to Veritas CloudPoint.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very cost-effective and very easy to set-up but does not compromise on features."

"The feature I appreciate the most about HPE Zerto Software is its fantastic replication and advanced problem-solving capabilities."

"Zerto is an excellent solution for cloud-based environments, but for DIY clients who have another site to recover their systems it also works well."

"Zerto ensures a smooth transition during a disaster when we need to automatically switch from our primary environment to our recovery one."

"The biggest improvement for us was going from a possible 24-hour lag on our backups to real-time lag."

"Failing over the VM without removing/touching the production VM from inventory is also an important feature."

"The instant recovery at DR locations is the most valuable feature. We're required to do periodic DR tests of critical databases, including Oracle and Microsoft SQL. We have recovery point objectives set for specific databases and we need to be able to achieve them. Zerto helps solve that business problem."

"The single pane of glass in Zerto Virtual Replication and ease of use is what makes Zerto different from other replication products that I have used in the past."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

"The product is good for volume-level backups."

"The initial setup is very easy and quite straightforward."

"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."

"I would rate Veritas CloudPoint a ten because it's done everything it says it'll do, and we've really not had many problems with it."

Cons

"I wish there was a mechanism or plug-in to do IP failover. That's the only manual thing that we would have to do."

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

"For me, limiting the minimum licensing package for 15 virtual machines (VMs) is a issue."

"When changing replication, the Delta Sync takes approximately six hours for six terabyte virtual machines. During this time, the virtual machine is inaccessible."

"The ease of setup can be improved in the next release of HPE Zerto Software. The initial setup of the DNS environments and backup environment took us time to implement, and if the process was wizard-driven, that would have been really beneficial."

"Zerto could be considered as a backup product but this is not true. So if we could consolidate and use Zerto for disaster recovery as well as everyday backup and restore for situations where we need to recover something, that would be helpful. Anyway, we think that Zerto will win with no competition in the Disaster Recovery process, so we stay focused on this. Now we are testing version 10 which include real-time ransomware detection, a new Cyber Resilience Vault and enhanced cloud capabilities and security: we expect more from these features for superior hybrid cloud security."

"It was a little bit expensive."

"Customer service is five out of ten. There is room for improvement. We need more local support."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."

"I don't care for the pricing or capacity license model from Veritas CloudPoint because there are cases where we back up the same data multiple times, yet we still owe from a capacity standpoint based on how much data is managed in our backups."

"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is top tier but offers good value."

"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."

"I have heard that it is expensive, but that is not my world."

"The cost per VM is a bit high."

"Zerto is slightly expensive, but we do see the value in it."

"It was a little bit expensive. It took a long time for us to get DR for our workstations. It's one thing when you have 15 servers, but when we needed to bring on almost another 200 users, and each was the same price as the servers, it was too expensive. But Zerto worked with us and gave us a solution that was pretty decent in terms of price."

"At the time I had purchased the product, the pricing was fair and reasonable. Over the years, costs have certainly gone up, which makes it hard for healthcare companies to use the solution."

"It initially seemed a little pricey, but in the big picture, you're paying for peace of mind. It could always be cheaper and more competitive, which would make it an easier choice for people, but I can see both ways. They can say this cost is for the value they are providing. If anything happens, they can recover your data very quickly. You won't be losing it, so there is a win. It is a win-win."
