Dell EMC RecoverPoint vs Zerto

• EMC recoverpoint does it's core functions of DVR like replication extremely well. It integrates perfectly with VMware vsphere and SRM and is relatively simple to configure.
• EMC recoverpoint handles failover and failback very well, either manually or through the SRM interface.
• EMC recoverpoint physical is relatively easy to run once installed and configured!!

• It is simple to set up and use. In my opinion, one of the most important functions of a tool is its interface. If you have the best product in the world but it takes an arm and a leg to configure and a doctorate degree to use, then the product isn't worth very much.
• The continuous replication is done very well. The failover and failback process runs smoothly.
• This has less to do with the product than the company, but Zerto as a company really listens to their customer base. We've always had a very good interpersonal experience with their support and sales teams. Having great people behind their product is definitely one of Zerto's strengths.

• EMC RecoverPoint isn't easier to install and or set up. You will need to know how to zone, understand SAN and networking.
• It's hard to understand how many disks to use based on the RTO and RPO for the replication set.
• Will still need professional service and training to really understand how to use the software.

• I’d like to see improvements to the usage graphs so I could dig deeper into network bandwidth usage with the ability to see what VPG is using most of the bandwidth
• The ability to just failover a single server in a VPG would be useful, as this would reduce the number of VPG that have to be created
• Bulk editing of failover IP addresses would be helpful

• We perform DR test in every six months and recoverpoint (vRPA) simplified our DR strategy. The solution saved lot of time and helped our team to minimize the DR window. It provides a reliable and repeatable automated DR workflow that increases data protection and recovery operational efficiencies. Silent test recovery and replicate VMs without impacting production site and bring down our RPO/RTOs to meet business needs is one of the key benefit.

• For us, there really was no ROI to calculate when purchasing and implementing Zerto. We had no DR in place. We needed DR so we spun up a project, did some research, and found Zerto. It has had a positive impact on the business due to the fact that we can now pass our audit.
