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

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

"Its ability to roll back if the VM or the server that you are recovering does not come up right is also valuable. You have the ability to roll back a few seconds or a few minutes. The rollback feature is great."

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

"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."

"Especially when it comes to DR testing, it is very easy to work with and we are able to recover our infrastructure at our DR site within a matter of minutes."

"I find Zerto's ability to restore a virtual VM much more quickly than Veeam or vCenter's restoration capabilities to be incredibly valuable."

"Zerto enables us to do sandboxing failovers. You can run tests on a production environment in a sandbox and spin up a copy of your actual production environment in a few hours. When you're done with it, you can click a couple of buttons, and it's all blown away. You don't need to worry about reverting changes or interfering with your on-prem production environments."

"My organization has experienced the benefits of using the tool, which include the ability to test our disaster recovery quickly."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."

"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."

"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."

"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."

"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."

"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."

Cons

"I would like to have an overall orchestration capability that would enable you to do multiple VPGs in some sort of order, with delays in between."

"Their offsite backup is a bit clunky, but it will probably improve."

"The alerting could be fine tuned and improved. It does a lot of alerts, but it's a little bit cumbersome to modify them."

"For me, limiting the minimum licensing package for 15 virtual machines (VMs) is a issue."

"Check your cloud providers. You don't have to host the DR side yourself. Also, look at folks other than Azure and AWS. The hidden/surprise costs will knock your socks off."

"They have moved to appliances, and the configuration of appliances is a bit complicated."

"We had some issues with replication, especially on Linux, but we have already resolved them."

"The challenge we faced occurred during a DR for a database server running on SQL Always On. We experienced a database crash and logged a case with Zerto about a year ago. They said that they do not support Always On."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."

"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."

"I do not have notes for improvements."

"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was a little higher. We were in a corporate agreement, and we had a software package that included RP for VM. It is easy to compare pricing when you are already in a corporate agreement. Zerto lost on the pricing scorecard."

"It is economical as compared to other brands."

"Zerto is definitely more costly compared to its competitors, such as VMware Site Recovery Manager. It may not be suitable for small and medium-sized industries."

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

"Pricing is one area where there could be 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. Or it could be a model based on the amount of storage space you're protecting."

"While we find the twenty-five VM license somewhat inflexible, the actual setup costs are minimal as the product is so easy to install."

"While conducting our proof of concept, I compared prices with just one other vendor. At the time, the price for Zerto was more favorable."

"My understanding is that it's expensive but worth the price."
