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

"They have just implemented a Backup and Restore portal that we think is very good."
"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."
"iland is excellent as far as the interface."
"The service itself wasn't bad."
"The most valuable feature is the disaster recovery capabilities. The fact that we can have a clinic across the country backup in as little as 45 minutes is incredible."
"The most valuable feature of Zerto is the quick recovery time."
"Zerto's near-synchronous replication is extremely important to our organization."
"We work a lot with customers that need disaster recovery and the best possible migration approaches, and Zerto helps them minimize the amount of effort it takes to finish their upgrades or migrations."
"The disaster recovery features are the best I've found."
"Zerto's scalability has been good."
"Zerto is scalable."
"Zerto is extremely easy to use. You set it and forget it."
 

Cons

"They don't support a more current version of VMware."
"This product did not help our organization."
"The vendor needs to changes billing to work like every other business and stop charging people if they stop using your service."
"I would like to see a better method of backing up Exchange in the cloud."
"The backup solution needs to be improved. From our perspective, Veeam and Zerto were competing products. They both do very unique things that they're very good at. For instance, Veeam can do replication well. However, it's really a backup product."
"It was a little bit expensive."
"Zerto can improve by offering bare metal recovery for our physical infrastructure."
"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 recovery processes of large datasets in the Cloud have room for improvement."
"The ease of setup can be improved in the next release of HPE Zerto Software."
"The onboarding was not very good. It felt like, "Now you have Zerto, good luck. Figure out how to use it.""
"They kept giving us solutions that would not work, so we had to keep trying different solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs are approximately $12,000 annually."
"iland is affordable."
"Billing practices for iLand are monthly. If you are a business and would like a yearly rate, good luck."
"Zerto is more expensive than competitors, making the price difference pretty high. While it is very expensive, it's very powerful and good at what it does. The cost is why we are not leveraging it for everything in the organization. If it was dirt cheap, we would have LTR and DR on everything because it would just make sense to use it."
"We believe the pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand. The pricing seems very reasonable."
"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."
"My understanding is that it's expensive but worth the price."
"From a pricing standpoint, there is value in it without question. However, it can become quite expensive when you start looking at the number of workloads you have in the environment and what you would like to do."
"I do not have anything to compare it to. It is expensive, but I am not going to squabble about the price when I bring the system up in a disaster. It is what it is."
"The licensing cost is fair."
"Zerto is a little bit expensive [for our budget] but as far as the value that it provides, it is completely justified by all of the savings."
