(1-25 of 31)Zerto - making business continuity simple!
- VM replication and recovery.
- VM migration.

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

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

- Real-Time Replication
- DR Testing
- Recovery Reporting
- Automation
- File Restore Capability - specifically the ability to restore Windows compressed/encrypted files or folders

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.
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)
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 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

- Not all tools work with Hyper-V, it is based on VMware
Zerto Product Review
- Files recovery
- Good gui
- Navigation in accessing the app
- Pricing
- GUI could improved more
- Navigation could improved more
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 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.
Simple, reliable, and easy to use
- 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
Zerto - Unparalleled Protection
- Journaling
- WAN optimization
- Application Consistency
- Full site failover processing
- Reports on what is protected and where and protection levels
Zerto makes BC/DR powerful and simple.
- It is simple to set up and use. In my opinion, one of the most important functions of a tool is its interface. If you have the best product in the world but it takes an arm and a leg to configure and a doctorate degree to use, then the product isn't worth very much.
- The continuous replication is done very well. The failover and failback process runs smoothly.
- This has less to do with the product than the company, but Zerto as a company really listens to their customer base. We've always had a very good interpersonal experience with their support and sales teams. Having great people behind their product is definitely one of Zerto's strengths.
- The price point and minimum license requirements would make it difficult for a smaller organization to adopt Zerto.
- I'm trying to figure out how to integrate it with SQL, but currently, I've found other DR methods for SQL still work better.
Zerto Virtual Replication, reliable replication.
- It's efficient, requiring little resources to operate.
- It's easy to setup and manage.
- It works. We have no issues with it, so it causes no anxiety.
- I haven't found anything I would change with Zerto. Simple and reliable is what is most important, and Zerto is both of those things.
