"The product is very simple and very easy to use."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"If we lost our data center and had to recover it, Zerto would save us a great deal of time. In our testing, we have found that recovering the entire data center would be completed within a day."
"The feature I've found most valuable so far has been the ability to migrate the VMs from Hyper-V and Citrix Hypervisor. It's made our migration seamless. In the beginning, we were looking at freeware tools, and it was just a massive headache. Zerto solved a lot of the roadblocks that we'd run into in the past."
"Journaling is by far the most valuable feature. We have used it several times for customers who have gotten ransomware and had to do a rollback. Having the right time period was important. Some of them had their backups encrypted. So, they didn't encrypt the Zerto machine seven days previously, and we were able to bring that back up."
"The most valuable feature is the point in time recovery. This allows us to recover at any point in time, up to a minute or so."
"Implementing this solution has given us sandboxing and the ability to move VMs."
"The ability to have a RPO of seconds has enabled us to restore data to just before an incident has occurred, which certainly saves a lot of time and money."
"We can recover both systems on-premises and in the public cloud."
"The recovery was pretty seamless. It took about a minute for it to kick over when we did our testing. So, it wasn't a long downtime."
"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."
"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."
"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."
"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."
"It has some quirks. We have quirks with appliances. Some things don't really work as expected, but it is minor."
"I would like Zerto to provide more detailed information when there is an issue."
"The email alerts can be excessive, so better control over frequency or resolution may be a worthwhile improvement."
"The only complaint is that if I remove a host from a cluster, it does not like that. If I move and put the host in maintenance mode to fix it, and vRA is down, Zerto does not like it. Zerto should figure out that this host has an issue and it went down. Zerto should then let me upload that vRA information to another vRA."
"They just came out with improvements for ransomware protection last week. I haven't used them yet but, overall, security and preventing ransomware is really a hot topic these days. I would like to see it detect when the ransomware occurs and provide more information on it."
"Zerto's near-synchronous replication is excellent when it works. I'm trying to be nice to them because I like the product a lot, but we're having a lot of difficulty with it in our environment."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The GUI could be streamlined a bit more to enhance the administrative tasks."
