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.

An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Zerto offered a very good front-end GUI for orchestration. The graphic interface was very good."
"It provides real-time backup"
"We don't have to spend a whole lot of time worrying about DR and whether or not we are covered. Zerto just works. As it is replicating, we don't need to spend a whole lot of time with it. That is a huge benefit as far as daily management."
"Zerto is excellent."
"The features I appreciate the most about HPE Zerto Software are the automated failover and orchestration, and then the journal for point-in-time recovery."
"The live failover tests and point-in-time recovery options have been exceptionally valuable features of Zerto for our organization."
"We use the solution for one-to-one replication from data center one to data center two, from server one to server two, or from the cloud to on-premises."
"There is one one-click remediation for ransomware."
"Our primary use case for the solution is to back up our devices and equipment for employees and some equipment in airport software."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is useful for those who run an infrastructure where there might arise a need to do some transition or want to opt for digital transformation."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
 

Cons

"From a pricing perspective, HPE Zerto Software is expensive in comparison to other products on the market, but I think it is an easier sell because it works so well and it is so easy to set up a demo to show someone how well it works."
"Zerto's setup process could be simpler."
"One issue we've been having with Zerto lately is the ability to go into maintenance mode during vSphere upgrades."
"When setting up Zerto, you have to set up VRAs. I would like to see those not be needed as much. They're a little cumbersome and take up a lot of VM counts."
"I would like Zerto to add support for VMware's lifecycle manager."
"I had to have my colleague contact technical support because we had an issue where VMs in VMware were getting blocked, and we weren't able to delete them."
"Zerto could improve its reporting capabilities."
"The HPE Zerto Software can be improved with more visibility."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"It could be cheaper."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The pricing could be improved. It's an expensive solution."
"The solution could be cheaper and they should include more education or marketing materials for users to understand how to use the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a lot of confusion with Zerto licensing. They have a migration license and a replication license. They should simplify the licensing process. The migration license costs a lot of money, and it is only on a one-time basis. If you use that license, it ties to that VM. I might re-migrate that VM in the next five to ten years. It is another environment, but my license is stuck there. The replication license is fine, and I have no issue with its pricing model, but they should simplify the migration license."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"Its price is fair. It is very cost-effective compared to the cost of the labor for your workers and associates."
"The pricing is slightly above average, but the immediate and comprehensive support makes the price acceptable."
"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 seems really good. We're an enterprise customer, so we get all the bells and whistles."
"The last time I looked at pricing, it was very good. It's much cheaper by far than VMware."
"Licensing Zerto was very simple. They had a product that fit our size and scale. It made it really easy to choose."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
