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

"The most valuable feature for me is the replication. If I need to fail over sites, it can be done quickly, in less than five minutes."

"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."

"Files can also be extracted from the VMDK at the remote site even when the VM is off."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of HPE Zerto Software was its failover capabilities."

"The migration capabilities are very good."

"Zerto is extremely easy to use. You set it and forget it."

"The low RPO times of about four to eight seconds are very nice and very valuable to us."

More HPE Zerto Software pros

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

"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."

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

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

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

Cons

"HPE Zerto Software needs improvements regarding its dependence on storage vendors; the rising hardware prices lead to numerous vendors entering the market, and HPE Zerto Software must enhance its API integrations continuously as new storage vendors emerge across different geographies."

"We had a situation where we had to relicense VMs once they were moved over. We later found out that that feature is built-in, but it's not easy to find. The way it's done is that you have to go to the target site to turn it on. If that were explained a little bit better up front, that would be helpful."

"Backup capability as it is limited and not as streamlined as it could be."

"This solution could be improved by including some sort of compression or de-duplication for the same type of files."

"I would like Zerto to provide more detailed information when there is an issue."

"One thing I would like to see, and I know that this is on their roadmap, is the ability to use long-term storage in the cloud, like in Azure or AWS, making that even more seamless. Whether it's stored in glacier or on-prem, being able to retrieve that data in a quick manner would be helpful. They're just not there yet."

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

"It is very expensive. It is overpriced."

More HPE Zerto Software cons

"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."

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

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

"I do not have notes for improvements."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is based on the number of VMs to replicate. The first thing should be to get the number of VMs to replicate based on your business needs."

"The pricing seems fair."

"Zerto is not overly expensive. It's worth what we're getting for it, but with tough times, a discount would be beneficial."

"Zerto is pretty reasonable. I haven't checked to see how much Rubrik is going to quote us for their solution. At least for us, the price doesn't play a big factor in the decision-making because it is a pretty small deployment for our use case."

"From a customer perspective, the price is okay. From an investor's perspective, however, it is a little bit high."

"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."

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

"It is economical as compared to other brands."
