Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support."
"The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."
"It is the backbone of our DR solution for critical databases that hold the data we can't afford to lose. It provided new opportunities to change how we approach disaster recovery."
"The stability is good, and I have never had any customers say anything bad about it. Some have used it for years and have not had any problems."
"The mobile application is very useful as a real-time monitoring, reporting tool. When asked the status of our machine backup and recovery ability, an easy answer is to display the status on the real-time application or browser. The Zerto Analytics tool helps predict future storage needs by tracking trends in space, journal size, and I/O rate. These are reportable statistics making quantifiable tracking easy and accurate. Having a web interface simplifies access by other system administrators."
"I give Zerto's stability a nine out of ten."
"It reduced the time for DR tests from the infrastructure side. Being able to get our work done in a matter of a couple of minutes so the app teams can get to work and can do their testing has been significant."
"I really like how you can test the failover as often as you need."
"Its ease of use is most valuable. The online documentation is very clear and helpful. We are able to solve a lot of problems on our own without having to contact support."
"Files can also be extracted from the VMDK at the remote site even when the VM is off."
"The interface and documentation need to improve."
"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."
"It would be great if Zerto could automate replication more."
"We'd like to be able to migrate data without its operating system or any other functionality and without having to go through a virtual machine or server."
"The solution is very expensive."
"A slight disadvantage of Zerto is that it requires the Windows Server operating system as the base OS. Over time, I would like to see more offerings in that regard. There should be more deployment options other than just the Windows operating system."
"We had a situation where we had to relicense VMs once they were moved over. We later found out that that feature is built-in, but it's not easy to find. The way it's done is that you have to go to the target site to turn it on. If that were explained a little bit better up front, that would be helpful."
"They are not cheap. They are more expensive than others."
"Zerto could improve its reporting capabilities."
"An area for improvement is the support because it gets really expensive. They need to make it a little cheaper. Support also takes time."
