We performed a comparison between Azure Site Recovery and Zerto based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"I've used backup solutions like Veeam in the past, but Zerto seemed like a better, faster solution. We adopted Zerto because of the speed, and because we wanted to do everything in-house."
"RPO time for the copied-off VMs appears to be quite short."
"Some of the most valuable features are the synchronous replication and migration with RDMs. I really like the conversion of RDM VMs for migration."
"We've never had any major headaches with the virtual-protection groups. They seem to work exactly as they should. If there's ever an issue with replication, we know right away, so it's all been very reliable."
"The orchestration and automation of the DR and how it replicates the VMs and then picks them up in the DR site have been most valuable."
"Stable disaster recovery solution with a very simple setup and fast failover."
"I would give it an eight out of 10, if not a nine out of 10, when it comes to ease of use."
"It is very user-friendly. There is no wondering about what a feature does. It is easy to use."
"I would like to see more security features."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"The alerting could be fine tuned and improved. It does a lot of alerts, but it's a little bit cumbersome to modify them."
"When building out a VPG and doing the machine types within Azure, they were not coming across correctly. It would say it had a CPU and memory of a specific type, but it was not accurate... It was a bug and they were working on it."
"I don't have any input for improvement or a critical feature request at this moment. If anything, a lower price is always better."
"The pricing could be a little bit lower."
"The only thing I really don't like about Zerto is that the ZVM has to be a Windows server. I can spin up any OBA template whenever I want to, but if it has an OS that's tied to it, then I have to involve the OS team from my company. That drives me crazy."
"Zerto is too reliant on VMware's vCenter. It's tough to upgrade, move, or do anything related to virtual servers with vCenter."
"The tech support on my latest issue wasn't so great. I had to figure a lot of stuff out myself. It could be that I had a Level 1 tech who was new or something, but it seemed like the tech was spitballing, which does not help me."
"I had a couple of questions after deployment, but nothing major, about a couple of ways I could tweak it."
