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

"Zerto is literally the best vendor that we deal with overall as an IT Department."

"The most important feature is that the recovery point (RPO) is less than one minute. The is really good for our customers, as they can keep their data loss to a minimum."

"It's extremely easy to use with one of the shortest setups I've ever done."

"The testing features are the most valuable features of this solution. We use the failover test feature not just for testing failovers and disaster recovery, we've also had clients use it for development purposes as well as patching purposes to test patches. We can failover the VM and then we can make any changes we want without affecting production. It's a nice sandbox for that usage."

"We have used Zerto to recover from ransomware three times and between the attacks we have recovered over 2 million files, never paid a ransom, and our users were only affected for just under two hours."

"We have been able to close three data centers so far."

"It's given me tremendous peace of mind and confidence that the network can be recovered quickly and accurately."

"The solution has helped to reduce downtime in situations; it gave us the ability to roll back a bad change that was made."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"

"The flexible ways you can get to the data and the options that it gives you for backing up your valuable data are what make its offsite storage so valuable."

Cons

"We would like more mobile options. If we are at a restaurant or out and about in our normal daily lives, we would like to be able to interface via our mobiles."

"I want to have an OVF or some local deployment where I can deploy the ZVRA rather than having to push it from the console. Some of our smaller remote sites have relatively poor bandwidth, and they can't keep up with the constant deployment stream from our center console, meaning we have to find some creative hours to get around the bandwidth bottlenecks. If I could push out a small install file, install it locally, and then reach back to the console, that would be excellent."

"The long-term recovery is a little bit weak in its granularity."

"We have had issues with licensing, where the license we've been given by Zerto support doesn't include VSS replication, which was a pain at the time."

"The technical support has room for improvement."

"The solution has not saved me time in data recovery situations due to ransomware or other causes at this company, but it did at the previous company."

"Mobile features are there only for visibility and not to take action."

"While going in, we were looking at the backup tool so that we had a DR tool and a backup tool, but they stopped developing their backup solution built into it. That was a bummer for us, so now, we have a DR solution, and we have a backup solution."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

"Basically, the only thing I do not like about it, it was keyed off Lotus Notes."

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an enterprise-grade product. When you buy enterprise-grade tools, you have to expect to pay a higher price. It goes back to the idea of you get what you pay for."

"It is not a bad pricing model."

"You are getting what you pay for, as this is a solution that requires minimal management after it is configured."

"Its price is reasonable. I have not worked with other tools, but as compared to its competitors such as VMware, its price is lower. So, in my opinion, its price is good."

"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."

"The solution is expensive, but it's worth the price."

"Zerto is reasonably price for the product that you're getting. We keep on buying more licenses, so it's a good price."

"Pricing is kind of expensive, but for what we get, it is probably worth it. I know they just had a huge price increase due to the VMware stuff getting expensive, which added about a thousand dollars a month to our bill."
