Excellent migration tool
- VM migrations with near-zero downtime
- Easy to deploy, use, and maintain
- Very fast and robust tool
- Zerto is too pricey compared to other solutions
- Zerto should also include P2V solutions in their platform
- ZVMs could ship as OVF/OVA appliances instead of installing them on top of Windows Server

November 15, 2021
Zerto for fast DR recovery

November 13, 2021
Zerto
- Failover of VMs from one data center to another
- Easy of use once setup
- Don't have to commit the failover until the process is ready.
- Would be nice if there was some way to reduce the size of the journal
November 12, 2021
Great solution for a company that needs failover protection that just simply works.
- Failover recovery
- Server migrations
- Restoring individual files from the replicated copy
- Make it easier to find and restore individual files (although this might have been improved already, we're not on the most recent version)
November 12, 2021
Zerto helps you sleep at night!
- The single web interface provides an immediate view of the environment.
- Zerto moves the server images from one colocation to another efficiently.
- Zerto provides an intuitive interface for restoring information.
- It provides for good alerting for offline VMs not being replicated.
- Pricing and discounts are an issue for me.
- Configuration settings should be adjusted to be more global.
- Online support is their preference, a live body sometimes is very beneficial.
November 12, 2021
Zerto, it just works!
- Migrate from disjoined datacenters
- Replicate to Azure
- Help in crypto recovery
- Improved backup component. Would love to use Zerto for overall backup product but not quite there yet.
- Automatic minimum recommendations for Azure. Pain in the butt trying to find the right VM size to fit an onprem VM into Azure.
- Provide more guidance on proper setup.
November 12, 2021
Zerto saved my job, it can save yours too!
- DR testing and recovery
- System datacenter migration
- Backup recoveries
- Our greatest difficulty is that while Zerto allows you to assign new static IPs for failover and testing uniquely, it does not support updated DNS entries, this is useful in testing as the Names servers in a test environment are not usually available.
November 12, 2021
Zerto is the only option for RPO
- Next to zero data loss between protected server and recovery site.
- Testing recovery.
- Works great with cloud solutions.
- Maybe more detail on what it's doing during the progress bar.
- Better clarification on testing or recovering only one server in a VGP.
November 12, 2021
Zerto is a great DR option for highly virtualized environments
- Near real-time replication.
- Ease of use.
- Metrics
- Pricing
- Cloud configurations
November 12, 2021
Zerto for DR
- Support is quick to respond.
- Providing metrics for RTO.
- Quick Recovery times.
- The license model is one time price with annual support.
- Zerto did not have quick recovery times to AWS so I needed to move our DR location from AWS to Azure.
November 12, 2021
Zerto replication for Disaster Recovery and system migrations
- Virtual x86 DR replication
- RPO checkpoints
- Cyber Security recover to previous checkpoints.
- Individual file restores from replicated systems.
- Google Cloud Platform Native virtual system replication and protection.
November 12, 2021
Zerto FTW!
- Site to Site Replication.
- Recovery of VM's from recent timepoints.
- Modification of replicated VM's to different sites.
- IP, and/or other site specific, post replication/recovery modifications.
- The GUI could potentially benefit from a standalone option, vs VCenter Plugin.
- The VRA's which are placed on Hosts are pretty 'black box' ... visibility into their activity/behavior could prove useful.
November 12, 2021
Helps reduce your RPO
- Replication of VM workloads to an off-site location
- Facilitating regular testing of our DR strategy
- Backup and retention could use some improvements.
- I would like to see support for off-line backup retention.
November 12, 2021
300 VPGs and disaster recovery piece of mind
- Test disaster recover with failovers.
- Replicate 1 to 1 from source to target with impressive RPOs.
- Well, we have been on 8.0U2 for a while now with no need to upgrade at this time. We feel it is performing as advertised. We have over 300 VPGs and our DR Tests are very large in size and Zerto has no problems at all during these tests. I don't have anything to add at this time.
November 12, 2021
Zerto was a win for our virtual environment providing flexibility for D/R & Migrations.
