It saves us a lot of time and gives us the ability to perform other DR plans for other systems.

Room For Improvement

HPE Zerto needs enhanced Hyper-V support, improved alerting, flexible licensing, better UI, mobile, cloud, and cost-effective solutions.

Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery needs bandwidth control, clearer pricing, improved dashboard, Linux support, security upgrades, and better integration.

If I have 350 objects that I am protecting, I would like Zerto to be able to fire them up in one order, rather than having to manually bring them up in a sequence.

David Riberdy

Enterprise data management supervisor at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees

If the host has a lot of VMs on it, there may not always be enough time to relocate all of the VMs from a protection group standpoint to other hosts before the replication appliance that Zerto uses to manage that powers itself down.

David Comer

Systems Engineering Manager at a legal firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

If HPE Zerto Software has it built-in where we're going to vCenter and you click on it, it will build the VPG and indicate configuration requirements, that would be amazing.

Setup Cost

HPE Zerto Software is cost-effective for disaster recovery but some users seek more flexible pricing for non-critical workloads.

Infrascale Backup offers flexible pricing and responsive support, appealing to small enterprises, though costs can vary and seem complex.

If you want a good-quality tool that is robust and does a good job for you, you have to pay a higher price to get that, and Zerto is no different.

JeffSmith12

IT Manager at American Pioneer Federal Credit Union

However, it can become quite expensive when you start looking at the number of workloads you have in the environment and what you would like to do.

reviewer2645856

Cloud and Infrastructure Services Manager at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Zerto is easier to set up and use, and it's less expensive.

Bill Dudgeon

Professional Services Engineer at US Signal

To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.

President at IT1 Service

We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.

Gregory Lemmon

Co-Founder | Director | CTO | vCISO | Lead Consultant Infrastructure & Cloud at UBIQUITY Ltd

The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.

Sachin Vinay

Assistant Manager-Networks at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees

If we were attacked, I could revert to a backup from five seconds before the attack, and no one would know we were attacked.

reviewer2641974

Senior Systems Engineer at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees

The replication time and the minor amount of time it takes to sync a new server outside of any of my huge 40-terabyte boxes is ridiculously quick.

reviewer2802231

Dev Ops Engineer at a media company with 201-500 employees

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.

Cyber Security Senior Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Cloud backups have strengthened ransomware recovery and now protect critical business data

I see several areas where Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery could be improved. First is the architectural design and configuration, along with operational maturity, as well as security integration. The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents. Getting quick support from the vendor during major recoveries or disasters would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, improving the strength of ransomware protections, addressing critical gaps in deployments, enforcing backup immutability policies, and making disaster recovery testing routine instead of an ad hoc process are important. Validating that I can quickly recover data should be a priority, and improved runbooks or operational maturity platforms would be beneficial for data recovery from critical incidents.
