Good deduplication, easy to scale, and has good support
iland Secure Cloud Backup is very scalable. If you ask them for more space, they provide you with the pricing, and they make the adjustments on their end. We just recently went from 10 TB to 15 TB and they also do a great job of deduplication, because we were only using 10 TB, even though our SAN is 20TB, we were using 11 TB of it and we have some physical servers that were we are backing up.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"iland is excellent as far as the interface."
"The service itself wasn't bad."
"Their technical support is very good; I have contacted them a couple of times and I have never had a bad experience with them, and they are one of the better companies as far as their support."
"We have not identified any issues with this solution and we are very happy with it."
"They have just implemented a Backup and Restore portal that we think is very good."
"Having Zerto in place takes a headache off my plate."
"One of the most valuable features of Zerto is its straightforward cost model."
"There are several valuable features because of the way we use it. The backup and restore features are definitely indispensable."
"It has simplified our disaster recovery plan."
"Comparing to a regular backup solution, it reduces downtime by 95%."
"Zerto helped our organization meet compliance requirements by ensuring data protection and recovery strategies align with our regulatory standards."
"You can set the number of days a VM can be rolled back in case of corruption or virus infection."
"The long-term journal is one feature that is useful in that it allows us to use the product as both CDP and backup."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a better method of backing up Exchange in the cloud."
"The vendor needs to changes billing to work like every other business and stop charging people if they stop using your service."
"This product did not help our organization."
"They don't support a more current version of VMware."
"Sometimes we require extra storage for Zerto."
"The main issue with Zerto is its user interface, which lacks flexibility and presents a steep learning curve."
"There are a couple of areas in the interface that are not very intuitive. Most of them are pretty easy, but there are a few areas in the journal and replication that, unless you've done it before, you really have no idea what to do."
"It would be nice if Zerto offered OVFs, which are custom-built VMs that you can install on your virtualized environment. At the moment, I have the Zerto sitting on two custom-built Windows servers, which creates a lot of overhead. I'm waiting for them to create an OVF file, which is a built and hardened version of their Zerto server that I can just install wherever with a couple of mouse clicks."
"Zerto should add the capability to replicate the same VM to multiple sites."
"If we could integrate our AIOps solutions and incident management capabilities within HPE Zerto Software, that would be beneficial."
"The alerting could be fine tuned and improved. It does a lot of alerts, but it's a little bit cumbersome to modify them."
"Some of the cloud instructions around VNets and peering of networks could be clearer with some best-case examples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Billing practices for iLand are monthly. If you are a business and would like a yearly rate, good luck."
"iland is affordable."
"The licensing costs are approximately $12,000 annually."
"Currently, it is good, but the license we are using is based on VM count. We are only protecting mission-critical servers, so we are using a very low number, about 300. However, we have 3,000 or more servers. If we consider using Zerto for data protection, it would cost us more than what we have for data protection now."
"The price is reasonable."
"My impression is that Zerto is more expensive than other solutions, although I don't have exact numbers."
"It is cost-effective."
"The pricing seems fair."
"It's very reasonably priced. It's a little more than $3,000 annually. That works out to about $20 per server per month."
"Zerto's pricing structure could be more competitive to better suit the needs of a wider range of businesses."
"It's not the cheapest tool, it's expensive. But it's doing a good job."
