User Testimonials
	BigMind DR	Zerto on IBM Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	Genie9 No answers on this topic	IBM Zerto on IBM Cloud is great to get your datacenter redundant and highly available. It overcomes geographic contingencies and makes your production environment reliably flexible. If you do not like the added cost of redundancy or cost of cloud services, this inconvenient fee may not fit you well. But you'd be better off in the long run to have Zerto protecting your bottom line despite the cost. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Genie9 No answers on this topic	IBM It is easy to get started. It is also very simple to set up the backup. Disaster recovery is no longer a dreadful or painful process. Incentivized SS Shiv Shivakumar IT Ops Read full review
Cons	Genie9 No answers on this topic	IBM Enable the ability to use IBM Cloud Object Storage as a target for Zerto's long-term retention feature. Easier access to the underlying VMware infrastructure would be nice. Right now we have to connect to IBM's VPN and use other tools to do some infrastructure management tasks. More insight into the IBM-side VMware environment that we replicate to (i.e. ability to see available IPs, etc). Most of that is managed by IBM. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Genie9 No answers on this topic	IBM Before we were using native backup solutions. We elected to bring in Zerto on IBM Cloud so that our team could have the ability to take small increments of data over time so that the final cutover would be quick and efficient.

Return on Investment	Genie9 No answers on this topic	IBM Positive is the option of bringing your own license. Negative - the complex environments are not supported. This cannot be used as a backup replacement rather DR tool. Incentivized Anirudh Srinivas Lead Enterprise Architect Read full review
