Morpheus vs. Zerto on IBM Cloud

Morpheus is well suited for those who want to have a management pane of glass that will allow you to see what you are consuming and how you are consuming it. It also ties into many other types of software and the development team seems to be constantly improving the product. That lends it to being a bit complicated. If you want something easy to set up, this isn't your product.

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.

• Copious native 3rd party integrations.
• Ties into multiple public and private clouds for single management plane.
• True multi-tenancy.

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

• More dashboard/visualization capabilities

Incentivized

• 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.

We have always been able to reach the support organization at Morpheus on the rare event we needed them. They have been nothing but helpful.

We previously were using VRA. VRA, while some of the new versions look interesting is hard for both administration as well as end user consumption.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

• Excellent monitoring tool

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.
