Alternatives Considered

Zerto Virtual Replication and SolarWinds Log & Event Manager

I have never used either of the two above-listed competitors, but we have sold both of them where customers find them to be a better fit. I've gotten to know the products fairly well this way, despite never using them myself. I think they're pretty similar. Zerto is definitely an up-and-comer who is making some pretty big waves in this place.
