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.

Trustworthy and provides good availability

Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over. It could be more of a knowledge transfer situation that didn't happen, but we didn't know if it was easy to use. Precisely Assure QuickEDD is deployed on the cloud in our organization. The implementation of QLED helped us with our recovery time objective and was a seamless transition. In order to utilize the product to its fullest potential, users should be knowledgeable of what it offers. They should also form a relationship with the person who is their representative. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature of Zerto is the fast, automated backup and recovery. The data lift for applications is short, with minimal data loss."

"We now have the ability to replicate critical data to a secure, off-site location that can be brought back in seconds if needed."

"The RTO and RPO are unparalleled. In the event you do have an issue, you can be back up and running (depending on the size of your infrastructure) within minutes. Your RTO can be 15 minutes and data loss be five minutes. I don't think that's matched by anybody else in the field."

"Orchestration is much better."

"When we replicated our data, I turned up the machine, and it was up in seconds. It blew my mind. I could not believe it."

"Zerto's two main features are ease of management and that the product just works. It does what they say it'll do."

"Continuous replication is the primary feature we use now because we originally purchased Zerto. I'm starting to utilize the long-term retention and instantaneous file restoration features, which have been introduced since the original purchase in 2015. Initially, we deployed Zerto as a second data storage point, but ultimately it will probably facilitate some of the migration of my workloads up to the cloud. It's evolving with the network and how we deliver computation."

"I found the very easy VPG setup, the easy recovery, and failover testing to be the most valuable features."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

"Synchronous applications are valuable."

"The most valuable feature of Precisely Assure QuickEDD is the backup system."

Cons

"The technical support has room for improvement."

"It would also be nice if they could find a way to make it where one VM does not impact the entire journal history of the VPG."

"Regarding HPE Zerto Software, the learning curve is where I see room for improvement."

"I would like to see improvement on the Zerto Virtual Replication appliances, so that they are a little bit more streamlined as opposed to now where they just span multiple ZVR appliances like there were gremlins... as this thing grows it just spawns unlimited numbers of additional ZVR appliances and you end up with a bunch so that you can't really tell which is which."

"It has some quirks. We have quirks with appliances. Some things don't really work as expected, but it is minor."

"I'm unsure of what can be improved."

"The backup end of this solution could be improved. We tried using it as a full backup solution and it took way too long to complete at least one backup."

"The HPE Zerto Software can be improved with more visibility."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

"Our administrator found the solution easy to use, but once that administrator left, it felt very overwhelming to the individual who took it over."

"There should be more interactive dashboards."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's fair. My biggest gripe with Zerto is the initial scoping. What we were promised didn't work with what we ended up with."

"There may be less expensive solutions on the market but with Zerto, you get what you pay for."

"I wish it were cheaper, but I would purchase it again at the same price."

"In a world where others are catching up, e.g., VMware High Availability, there needs to be a less expensive option as well. When a customer has approximately 100 VMs, if you multiply by 40, we aren't charging a very high margin on it at all since the license is so expensive. We feel their pain. That is the most expensive part of it. The storage, CPU, and RAM are a lot less. It is the licensing that is really expensive. Whereas, with an option like VMware High Availability, it is a couple dollars per month. That is our spend that we are charged by VMware, then our margin is higher on those VMs. Giving us some ability to have higher margins, as an MSP, would be a good thing."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The licensing is a little bit steep, but there is some value that you do get for it as well."

"The last time I looked at pricing, it was very good. It's much cheaper by far than VMware."

"Pricing is adequate at the standard of the product, but there could be "always" some improvement. We would like to see a consumption model that would charge in a DR scenario, where you're failing over and consuming those resources, instead of a per-protected-node model."

"It is expensive. The cost varies based on your requirements. If you want to manage it, there is an extra cost."
