Plenty of useful feature and reliable
We use Asigra for backups I have found all the features useful in the solution. I have been using Asigra for approximately two months. The solution is stable. The six people in our IT department are using the solution. The initial setup was a medium difficulty level. Some parts were complex…

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

"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"The Asigra product on the whole is a fantastic solution and I would highly recommend this as it delivers everything our business and our subsequent customers required."
"Simplicity, very easy to restore user data, means that we don't have to request off site tapes to be delivered to the office, can easily access the cloud data and restore most data within minutes."
"Asigra’s multi-tenancy feature is most valuable as it allows the company to on-sell a private cloud backup and recovery solution to existing customers."
"The migration and ease of use are valuable. It is easy to set up and easy to flip. We just need to click on Move."
"It works very well in terms of it providing continuous data protection. It does what it says it is going to do. We have been using it for several years, and once or twice, we had to recover a machine or files. It didn't have any problems in doing what it is supposed to be doing."
"The feature I appreciate the most in HPE Zerto Software is the move or the failover buttons."
"Live replication and up to the second type of failover are valuable. The fact that we can do test failovers and failbacks is important for our ISO certification."
"Zerto has helped significantly reduce downtime and helped reduce DR testing by over 45 percent."
"What I appreciate most about Zerto is that we can implement it via cloud now and on-premise."
"In terms of usage, Zerto is a different level of experience when compared to other products."
"In comparison with other backup solutions like Veeam, Veritas, and others, I would say that HPE Zerto Software is the most advanced one, as there is no competition right now."
 

Cons

"The UI could do with a facelift."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"The native Zerto implementation requires quite a big environment. My environment is rather small. I do not have hundreds of virtual machines."
"In terms of improvement, we have VMware and Nutanix, and we are looking for solutions to perform migration between these two setups to save costs."
"The knowledge base could be improved. Sometimes, it's finicky, especially when moving storage around. We've had to redo entire processes, which was time-consuming and resulted in data loss. This has happened multiple times, and despite following support steps and contacting support, we often had to resolve issues on our own."
"My first experience with technical support was not good at all."
"I don't have any recommendations regarding how HPE Zerto Software can be improved."
"It needs more documentation and automation features. I would like more documentation on designing an environment and network operations. On the automation side, I would like automation to clean up the environment in cases of a failed DR effort. An API interface to perform the DR exercise would also be nice."
"The only issue I've ever had is that I wish that Zerto would work more closely with VMware. There have been a few times that Zerto has released an update but it wasn't supported with that version of VMware. I would like them to coordinate their updates with VMware's updates."
"Maybe the reporting for the failover test could be a little better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Zerto is not overly expensive. It's worth what we're getting for it, but with tough times, a discount would be beneficial."
"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."
"I've been told that when they originally got the quote, it was a little bit of a sticker shock. However, now that we've actually been using it for six months, I've been told that the investment was well worth it."
"Zerto is very cost-effective. We get really great value for the cost of the service."
"Zerto's pricing model is cost-prohibitive for small—to medium-sized businesses."
"You are getting what you pay for, as this is a solution that requires minimal management after it is configured."
"Compared to other options like SRM, Zerto is a more expensive solution, making it primarily suitable for larger organizations."
"It is very expensive. It is overpriced. No doubt. What held us up for many years from committing to buying it was always the cost. That's also why we only have 10 licenses."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
Disaster recovery planning is something that seems challenging for all businesses. Virtualization in addition to its operational flexibility, and cost reduction benefits, has helped companies improve their DR posture. Virtualization has made it easier to move machines from production to…
