Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The application is basically being used for the purpose of data recovery in case of any mishap/disaster. It also provides a protected data storage for the organization's data. And as the storage is totally on the cloud, there's no hassle with the hardware installation. It even provides automated tools for deployment. So it actually makes the process much easier and is something every organization should have.
Pros and Cons
  • Fast data replication.
  • Data protection.
  • Possibility to store data.
  • Simplicity of operation.
  • Objectiveness of UI.
  • Must have been expensive for my organization.
  • Documentation has a scope of improvement.
Likelihood to Recommend
Data storage and access. As a disaster recovery application. Possibly as an antivirus for your data if your organization has enough money. For fast data replication.

Return on Investment
  • Provided safety for data.
  • Provided security for the same.
  • Provided a platform for hassle-free imp data storage and retrieval.
Alternatives Considered
The price difference was not much and pre-existing relations with IBM.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Zerto on IBM Cloud so our infrastructure is reliable and flexible. This is done [in] 90% of the organization as the other other 10% is allowed to be independent with their choices. Zerto is a good fit for our organization because it allows us to keep applications backed up and highly available. We used to be just a one site IT solution, but now we can use the IBM Cloud in concert with Zerto to ensure that local issues do not cost us time and money. In short, it keeps us in business and keeps everyone productive even through disaster.
Pros and Cons
  • Failover.
  • Backup.
  • Integration.
  • Cost.
  • Complexity.
  • Documentation.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
Return on Investment
  • Initial cost seems high.
  • Long term cost saves us money from failures.
  • Buy in from management justifies the expense.
Alternatives Considered
We had prior experience with Zerto and we were very happy with how it worked. Rubrik is also a very good product, but we wanted to go with the solution we were most familiar with. Zerto combined with IBM Cloud is a reliable combo that we feel works together well in addressing what we are trying to accomplish.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is primarily being used for backup/restore and disaster recovery within the business and it is being used across the entire organization. It addresses the problem of having business continuity and contingency plans in the event the organization needs to restore data or virtual machines when some unforeseen event happens.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
  • There could be better documentation available on the restoration process.
Likelihood to Recommend
Zerto on IBM Cloud is very well suited for backup and replication of data including large volumes of data.
The disaster recovery process is rather simple. I would say there is not a scenario where Zerto would be inappropriate.
Return on Investment
  • Overall, it's a very effective solution both from a cost and operational standpoint. We now do DR tests once a quarter rather than once every 6 months.
Alternatives Considered
Zerto was simpler and faster when it came to a large data repository that needs backup, replication, and restoration. Even though it was slightly more expensive, the functionality and features of Zerto drove us to go with it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We were evaluating similar products for a startup serving global community IoT device data.
Pros
  • Straightforward UI interactions for fairly complex business operations
Likelihood to Recommend
Better suited for companies with a well structured IT department.
Return on Investment
  • We didn't end up using it after the evaluation due to budget limitations
Alternatives Considered
If I understand correctly, I evaluated those products for an IoT device management solution, that manages sensors not virtual machines, Not sure how to compare
