Dell RecoverPoint vs. Zerto on IBM Cloud

It is well suited if your whole environment is virtualized to integration with vmware SRM for automation. It isn't suited if you are not using a fibre channel switch network and could get expensive if you have a lot of storage to replicate.

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.

• Automatically discover and register VMware ESXi hosts for replication.
• Auto-registers shared datastores , pre-defined failover Network Configuration. EMC RecoverPoint saved a lot of time and helped our team to minimize our disaster recovery window.

Incentivized

• 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

• User interface
• Pricing
• Local support

• 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.

EMC been good to use as of now.

Product is easy to use with details what is replicated and you can easily tag your datastores

I don't really have to call support too much, but when I have to they are always there to help.

Zerto was selected to compete against recoverpoint.. Zerto was a virtual solution that doesn't work for physical solutions. Recoverpoint was chosen over Zerto because of the need to replicate and protect physical systems, versus just VMs. Zerto is under strong consideration as the environment is becoming more virtualize through the next few months.

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.

• Dell EMC RecoverPoint requires certain things to be implemented that can only be done by EMC / Dell support.

Incentivized

• 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.
