Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed

The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

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

"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."

"I'd recommend it it's a really good, straightforward, easy use system, with no hidden strings."

"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."

"Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes."

"Real-time replication is a valuable feature, ensuring that changes made to the production site are immediately reflected at the recovery site."

"Zerto has helped to reduce downtime with several customers; for example, we had a customer who had many of their VMs encrypted, with about 40 to 60 terabytes worth of data that would have taken days to recover from backup, but we were able to bring them up at the DR site and get them up and running within hours, avoiding millions in potential costs and a major ripple effect in the title industry."

"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."

"I would absolutely recommend Zerto."

"The journaling is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"HPE Zerto Software is very simple to use and to implement, and you can implement and have a full disaster recovery solution in just a few days usually."

"The replication feature where it constantly replicates and sees that data is always in sync is valuable."

"The solution is great."

Cons

"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."

"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."

"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."

"There is still some scope for improvement."

"The biggest pain points we have experienced are related to some of the SQL-intensive workloads just because the VPGs struggle a little bit to keep up. That might be because we are pushing too many transactions."

"The problem with the backup product is that it's not very mature and you really need a specific use case to be able to use it effectively. It's hard to explain to our customers, especially our large customers, that the use case is so limited."

"The onboarding was not very good. It felt like, "Now you have Zerto, good luck. Figure out how to use it.""

"The main concern involves the Delta Sync that triggers when changing the recovery direction. For large virtual machines of several terabytes, this process can take considerable time."

"An area for improvement is the support because it gets really expensive. They need to make it a little cheaper. Support also takes time."

"Backup dedup and online restore, support for SMTP authentication."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."

"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 is reasonable."

"To ensure proper data protection, we require a separate backup solution alongside Zerto for disaster recovery therefore the price for Zerto is high."

"It is cost-efficient because we have perpetual licenses. We are a small to medium-sized business, so cost is a pretty big important factor."

"The pricing is very reasonable."

"We believe the pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand. The pricing seems very reasonable."

"When we purchased Zerto, we felt it was worth the cost as it would protect us from any potential problems and give us peace of mind knowing that any critical items could be recovered quickly."

"Its pricing is very competitive. As compared to VMware SRM, Zerto has reduced our OPEX cost by at least 30%."
