This enables the business to have a live copy of servers available to protect against local individual server failure and also a separate copy to protect the business in case of a site failure. In the case of local failure, we use journaling to roll back to any point in time over a two week period. This provides robust protection for all live servers.,The ability to replicate only delta changes enables us to replicate nearly 200 servers with minimal bandwidth usage and so reduces excessive network costs.
Being licensed to replicate multiple copies of a server enables us to keep costs down and use a single product for both DR and HA
Journaling enables simple point in time recovery to cope with user errors that would otherwise require a lengthy restore from backups
For some servers, the 30-day journaling now replaces traditional backup products, saving cost and enabling speedy recoveries,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,10,ROI has been fantastic, as the product is relatively cheap and enables us to maintain very high server availability
The ability to provide both HA and DR with a single product enables the business to keep costs down and enhance uptime
Removal of the need for a separate backup product when using journaling saves on the separate cost of another product to purchase, run, and manage,VMware Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery and EMC RecoverPoint,VMware ESXi, Citrix NetScaler, Sophos Endpoint Protection, Veeam Backup & ReplicationNeil TaylorZerto: It just works well2018-10-19T16:31:11.991ZI was able to easily replicate our primary datacenter to our disaster recovery site and easily test quarterly.,Easy replication that stays in sync when testing
Easy to upgrade the tool as well as works well in VMWare during upgrades

Ability to properly test the DR environmentThomas GreenIt has decreased both RPO and RTO significantly2018-09-20T17:43:05.661ZPrimary Use CaseReplication of business critical VMware VMs over WAN to the remote disaster recovery datacenter.Valuable FeaturesThe benefits are obvious: The simplicity of the setup and the speed of replication.The speed of WAN replication is great. It is faster compared to RecoverPoint and 20 VMs replicating over a 20Mbps VPN, which has a RPO less than one minute. Of course, your mileage will vary.Improvements to My OrganizationCompared to the previous DR replication solution, Zerto has decreased both RPO and RTO significantly.,The simplicity of the setup

Low RPO and RTO,It's complicated to remove the virtual appliance if for some reason you lose the host.

It provides us with the ability to failover to our other location environment and bring it up within minutes in a disaster situation or when we perform maintenance,They have a failover testing option which allows for us to check for errors before we do live failover
During failover there is very little downtime in our environment
Very good at replicating data over quickly for practically zero loss of data,The system errors on failover when there is a backup being processed
Some room for improvement on time it takes to verify data after failover,9,It is cheaper than what I thought for the value
Less down time is less information that will need to be restored or less employees waiting for systems to come back up
Provides us with the ability to reassure our customers that their environment is protected and if a disaster happens we can bring up their environment at our redundant location,Veeam Backup & Replication and Unitrends Recovery Series Backup Appliance,Unitrends Recovery Series Backup Appliance, Veeam Backup & ReplicationRyhlen SchoeberlWhy I like Zerto best2018-09-24T19:54:31.826ZWe are a Disaster Recovery specialty company providing the spectrum of DR - BC planning to implementation, including best of class products to enhance our clients' ability to restore data quickly and minimize downtime. As a Zerto reseller and MSP, we provide a DR site for our customers. Specifically, Zerto provides easy recovery of a failed virtual machine, with the restore point option up to 14 days and a high granularity of restore points.
Zerto can provide One-2-Many backups up to 3 local and/or DR sites. With infections like Crypto-Locker, Zerto provides a fast resumption of a VM (or group of VMs) at the click of a few buttons, to select the machine and time of the restore. And Zerto does this without snapshotting the VMware environment. Zerto can also [move] to Hyper-V in a similar manner and move Hyper-V to VMware or vice-versa.,Anyone with a large disk (VMDK) knows the issues of VMware snapshots. Most backup software is a "point in time backup" that uses snapshots. While the backup can be run multiple times per day the stress of the snapshot on the host and storage is eliminated by the continuous protection of Zerto log replication.
A client had a the disks on a VM go missing for some reason. We had them "flip the switch" for a real fail over and press the fail over button. The VM on our DR site started to come alive as the VM at the customer site was brought down. When the DR VM was fully up, automatic reverse replication started. The DR machine was available in a few minutes (to take into account different host hardware) for access. One the vm at both sites were in sync, we had the customer again repeat the fail over process and the DR site VM was turned off and the Production site VM was brought back on line. This was a 200 GB VM and the whole process was finished in about 3 hours.
Zerto also allows for "Test" fail overs that can be configured on many different functions, such as host, datastore, network and IP usage. Configuring the IPs is crucial to avoid inadvertent site cross contamination of the same VM.
Zerto can also retrieve files from any VM disk on the DR site without starting a VM. Very handy for retrieving files or directories.
Since Zerto is running continuous log replication, changes on the production VM are nearly instantaneously copied to the DR site. As with any data process, having sufficient bandwidth for "churn" peaks minimizes the delay in updating the DR site.,Zerto is in the process of update their "Offsite Backup" process. This is a scheduled snapshot of a VM that extends the "point in time" beyond the up to 14 days of granular recovery. For those wanting to have a "compliance copy" of a vm (db or exchange or files) this is mechanism that will be improving.
Zerto is an evolving product that takes user input seriously. They encourage recommended improvements and features from customers.
One thing Zerto can't do is backup a turned off VM. Many snapshot based backup software products can backup a turned off VM.
While many backup products are install, create backups and go, Zerto requires a bit of planning on the initial network configuration. Installing the software and configuration is actually easy, setting up a VPN between sites needs planning, particularly for MSPs. Once the VPN is set up the rest is quite easy. This is being addressed.,10,For us, we are having more customers with RPO and RTO concerns liking the capabilities provided by Zerto.
We have built a DR Vmware cluster for our DR business where we maintain a "Private Cloud" for our customers.
