We performed a comparison between Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 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."The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"The instant recovery at DR locations is the most valuable feature. We're required to do periodic DR tests of critical databases, including Oracle and Microsoft SQL. We have recovery point objectives set for specific databases and we need to be able to achieve them. Zerto helps solve that business problem."
"The journaling is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Using Zerto for the migration was incredibly valuable, enabling us to save tremendous amounts of time."
"RPO time for the copied-off VMs appears to be quite short."
"It works really well. It's simple to set up and works well. Moreover, disaster recovery to the cloud to our organization is very important. We actually had to use it three years ago, and it worked out well for us."
"Zerto is truly inspiring."
"Its automation and the ability to replicate and keep an RTO of just seconds is valuable. It is all automatic. Everything is pretty transparent on the backend. It is just point-and-go."
"Moving the VPGs from one location to another is a valuable feature. You just click on it and move it and it's done."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"Zerto could add text alerts if there are critical problems and alerts if changes affect our replication."
"In future releases, doing backups of the environment we need to be able to do hot backups of the database."
"The only thing we've noticed that needs improvement is the backend cleanup within VMware. There are some little issues there. I would like to see tighter integration with Vmware... orphan data is an issue within VMware. It doesn't clean up properly when you're moving stuff around."
"We wanted to shut down the dev environment to focus on the prod environment. We couldn't find any option in Zerto to do that."
"Adding or changing VPGs (Virtual Protection Groups) may require restarting replication."
"The onset of configuring an environment in the cloud is difficult and could be easier to do."
"The setup process is time-consuming."
"We would like some of the real fine or granular things. We've submitted a few minor things for enhancements such as being able to control bandwidth utilization for each facility you replicate to versus overall. We just need a little bit more granularity on some of the things, but there is not a whole bunch that is in need of tweaking."
