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.

Data restoration is the most valuable feature.
If I access my documents from the mobile app, I am also able to share these documents with accounts in other apps such as email, WhatsApp, Dropbox, google drive, etc. What I'd like is to be able to share a document or folder with other Mozy accounts (users), with limits of either under the same admin domains or even with other domains.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We don't have to spend a whole lot of time worrying about DR and whether or not we are covered. Zerto just works. As it is replicating, we don't need to spend a whole lot of time with it. That is a huge benefit as far as daily management."
"The biggest improvement for us was going from a possible 24-hour lag on our backups to real-time lag."
"The most valuable features in Zerto are ease of use number one and the support that has come from the Zerto team."
"The continuous replication with a low recovery point objective (RPO) is crucial for us."
"Its user interface is excellent, and when it comes to data duplication, Zerto is very fast."
"It's easy to use. We don't need formal training."
"Zerto is so easy to use that when I showed it to my manager, he said jokingly, 'Huh. I could use it myself, I don't need you.' Zerto is most elegant."
"Leaving Veeam aside and comparing Zerto with our existing backup functionality, forget it."
"The ability to kick start the service live on the users machine; I also like the graphical representations of data space."
"I was using Symantec Backup Exec, and we switched because Mozy is easier to use, and the cost is less."
"I've had good experience with the Mac backup client running silently and keeping files backed up."
"The data restoration feature is the most valuable because the end user requires minimum support to recover lost data."
 

Cons

"When setting up Zerto, you have to set up VRAs. I would like to see those not be needed as much. They're a little cumbersome and take up a lot of VM counts."
"You have to start with 25 VMs which is too much for SMB clients. It would be better if they had the option to start with 10."
"The solution hasn't decreased our organization's DR testing time; in fact, it has increased it because we use it as a tool in our healthcare business, doing it every month to verify that everything is working correctly."
"Zerto should continue adding new features. When I used it at the other bank, it wasn't good with replicating VDIs and automation."
"They should not make it so expensive so that I can buy more of it."
"The reporting could be improved in terms of the reports that you can show to auditors to prove that you have done the testing. I provide the reports that it generates now but, it would be great if, at the end of a DR test, it would generate a report of everything that Zerto did."
"I have had problems with vRAs. When I am trying to restart a host, sometimes the vRAs will hang. I would like it if they wouldn't migrate off or shut themselves down, then I have to manually work with it a lot of the time."
"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."
"The sales support is too poor and there is no point of contact, local representatives are not in positions to assist or even provide a proposal."
"Automated client deployment was not straightforward and never worked for me."
"The support staff were directed to give support on specifics and to stick to the support plan; anything out of the ordinary would be a challenge."
"The selection of directories and files to back up can't be managed centrally, it has to be set on each user's computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There may be less expensive solutions on the market but with Zerto, you get what you pay for."
"The pricing is a little more expensive in comparison to other tools."
"All of my customers are happy with how this product works and they like it, but unfortunately, in the market that I represent, Zerto is expensive when compared with the competition."
"The pricing for this solution could be cheaper. They have two licensing tiers. When we purchased it, they didn't have a license for the cloud model. Certain things that I used to get with the basic licensing are no longer available. They are only available in the Cloud. Overall, the licensing model could be simplified."
"There is a one-time cost for maintenance and support. We have a three-year contract that we will have to renew when those three years come up. There is also licensing on top of that for whatever product you are using it for."
"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."
"They should adjust the pricing because I feel its price is too much. If they reduce the price, there will be more users and customers."
"We find the Zerto pricing fits our budget."
