(1-25 of 41)Zerto delivers the goods
- Very good support staff - we never have an issue getting a problem resolved
- On the easier side of configuration and maintenance
- Very good Management Interface, maybe one of the best
- Can be expensive to scale
- Licensing could be better for smaller organizations
- Ability to customize more in the dashboard would be nice
Zerto for the Win!
- Speed of recovery
- Reduction of RPO
- Ease of use
- Dependence on virtual protection groups
- Release of updates to align with VMware releases
- Product documentation could be improved
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
Senior System Administrator Zerto Guy
- Real-Time Replication
- DR Testing
- Recovery Reporting
- Automation
- File Restore Capability - specifically the ability to restore Windows compressed/encrypted files or folders
- Increase storage compression/de-dupe
5 Star Enterprise Disaster Recovery Product! It just works!
- Site to Site replication
- Near real-time replication and recovery from point in time
- Faster RPO & RTOs
- Easy to use, can restore a virtual machine with a few mouse clicks
- Easy DR testing
- Expensive licensing cost
- Language barrier depending on which support tech you receive.
Zerto for fast DR recovery
- Realtime replication
- Fast recovery
- Platform to platform conversation of virtual machines
- Easy file level recovery
- The GUI could be a little more intuitive.
- [I would appreciate] being able to call local scripts on virtual machines.
- [I would like] better/more customizable reporting.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Zerto is a great DR option for highly virtualized environments
- Near real-time replication.
- Ease of use.
- Metrics
- Pricing
- Cloud configurations
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Zerto is a solid performer in the disaster recovery space
- Intuitive User Interface
- Flawless Failover
- Simple Deployment
- Great Support
- One to many replication is missing or lacking.
- Enhance post failover scripting capabilities.
Zerto...one of the best!
- Multi-site data redundancy.
- Easy of use.
- Cloud data backup.
- Can be expensive.
Zerto leaves zero doubt
- A single web interface is nice
- Alerting is good for offline machines not being replicated
- Able to use a mobile application to view status in real time
- Support is responsive and excellent
- Works on all hardware
- Not all tools work with Hyper-V, it is based on VMware
The Easy Button for Disaster Recovery
- Intuitive interface and easy activation of backup site.
- Rapid deployment initially as well as adding new systems.
- When I upgrade VMWare I have to manually stop the zerto vms before they can enter maintenance mode.
- Maybe a little cheaper renewal.
Zerto gives you the best in performance and reliability.
- Zerto is great at support and documentation. We have had great success with these two aspects of the company.
- Zerto is easy to install and configure. You can easily convert the POC to a full production system in minutes.
- The AWS installation of Zerto documentation has a lot to be desired. It does not have a true step-by-step approach like the Windows side.
Zerto to the rescue
- Zerto does really well at keeping the data in-sync and giving us incredible RTO/RPO times.
- The testing capabilities of Zerto make it really simple to verify that our strategy works.
- The reporting functionality gives us the necessary outputs to satisfy both our internal and external audits.
- Zerto recently added a "long term" storage functionality to act as a backup, if you will. If they could provide a true backup system, Zerto would be one of those "ultimate" software systems that everyone needs to have!
Zerto lives up to the hype!
- Minimal Recovery time.
- Isolated testing environment.
- The cost is on the expensive end.
- Support is mostly online.
Zerto is a must for DR Replication
- Journal based replication.
- Disaster failover and recovery.
- Automated network reconfiguration after initial setup.
- There are some configuration settings that could be adjusted to be more global after editing.
Great DR Solution
- I can't stress how important it is for Disaster Recovery.
- Integration with Microsoft Azure to flip VM's over to Azure as one of our sites.
- Ease of use to setup Virtual Protection Group.
- 5 minutes of incremental snapshots to restore VM's.
- Support needs improvement in terms of response time and provides appropriate solutions.
- Bugs need to be sorted out with missing configuration on the VPG after it has been created.
- Better reporting window to generate more usual information.
