Zerto leaves zero doubt
- Veeam Backup & Replication, Commvault Activate and Rubrik
Selected Zerto because it met our needs. Plus it was hardware agnostic. Definitely a good product with very good support.

Zerto Product Review
I have tried Disk Drill works well, same purpose of the Zerto in files recovery.

The Easy Button for Disaster Recovery
We initially purchased RecoverPoint and after stumbling through the installation with the consultant and realizing how clumsy and nonautomated it was we began looking elsewhere. We really disliked the amount of setup and manual configuration needed to get basic things configured like IP address changes for the DR site. Zerto answered this in spades and was extremely easy to configure.

Zerto gives you the best in performance and reliability.
Zerto was far and away from a much better product than RecoverPoint. EMC was unable to perform near as fast and as good as Zerto and required a lot more setup and infrastructure to run.

Zerto to the rescue
We use VMware vSphere Replication as our disaster recovery tool for our Tier 2/3 systems. This was chosen as it saves us costs for our less critical, but still needed systems that keep our company running. Putting everything on Zerto would be great, but with this combination, we can cover our whole infrastructure and know that we can meet all the SLA's we have established.

Zerto keeps us up.
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Zerto is a little more seamless however the price is a little higher than Veeam.
November 20, 2019
Zerto is a must for DR Replication
Hands down Zerto blows VMware SRM out of the water. The configuration is easy to setup. Managing replications are just a few short key strokes and there is an easy-to-navigate web dashboard.
Zerto is a lot more flexible that VMware SRM. We used to use SRM and it was very rigid. All of our protection groups were based on storage volumes so any time anything needed to be added or removed from a protection group you had to adjust the storage volume and make other changes in SRM. With Zerto it is much easier to add or remove servers into protection groups. The scripting and instrumentation for bringing protection groups is much easier with Zerto as well.

Great DR Solution
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam is an impressive solution, however, Zerto has a better feature set, customizable journal, and RPO timing. The price with Zerto was more competitive.

Put Your Executives At Ease
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Zerto is best suited for critical applications that need live replication and lossless recovery. In the case of less critical VMs, we use Veeam.
January 12, 2019
Simple, reliable, and easy to use
- VMware Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery and EMC RecoverPoint
Zerto replication is a lot cheaper than any of the completion, it’s simple to set up and use, requires minimal training for users, and its simple interface and groups using VPG enables a granular setup.
It just does what it says and is simple, reliable, and relatively cheap
September 24, 2018
Why I like Zerto best
Zerto solves issues with snapshot-based backups and provides continuous data protection up to 14 days with an astonishing granularity. Zerto's One-2-Many can provide local and offsite backups with near real-time and fast restore of a VM
Zerto does not backup physical machines or VMs that are turned off, but there are other products to do that.
Other backup products are stepping up with ease of deployment and small organizations would find them a little easier to use as there are fewer configuration options.

It has decreased both RPO and RTO significantly
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.

Zerto replication solution
- Veeam Backup & Replication and Unitrends Recovery Series Backup Appliance
With Zerto we are able to bring up environment faster and with less data loss without having to set backups every hour and replication to match
July 14, 2018
Zerto - Unparalleled Protection
- Unitrends Recovery Series Backup Appliance and Veeam Backup & Replication
While more expensive, Zerto does a better job of protecting our servers and keeping the RPO low. It was also supported by our financial core which was a huge factor in our adoption. However, one it was put into our system, we wanted to adopt it company wide. As long as you understand what it should be used for, you will not be disappointed.
June 20, 2018
Zerto is great!
We looked at both CommVault and NetBackup, which are similar platforms to that of the Zerto Replication Software stack. We thought the Zerto solution best met our specification needs, as well as our cost needs. The CommVault licensing was complicated, and we just have had a bad experience in the past with NetBackup.
June 06, 2018
Zerto makes BC/DR powerful and simple.
We started out using Backup Exec which was in service until we virtualized our environment where it didn't perform as well at the time. Then we switched to Veeam which worked well, but then as we started needing to do migrations and off-site DR, we found ourselves relying on Zerto more often.
December 08, 2017
Why should you switch to Zerto for DR?
Compared to VMware SRM, Zerto Virtual Replication is much simpler to use and is hypervisor agnostic.
November 21, 2017
Zerto the Easy but Powerful Replication Software
- Veeam
We used to use Veeam for our replication solution but due to the snapshot issues that we used to experience with our larger virtual machines, i.e we would encounter some lost of connectivity. We were told by two of our partners that Zerto would solve our needs and we did our research and used the trial and were so impressed that we purchased it.

Perfect disaster recovery setup with nice replication features
- Veeam Backup & Replication and VMware Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Zerto is easy to install and maintain. Most importantly, the replication feature with a journal that provides recovery point every few seconds cannot be found in any other software we evaluated.

Zerto - Replication and (Backup)
Physical recoverpoint and virtual Recovperpoint for VMware are still very basic in their feature set. Physical recoverpoint requires months of planning, installation, configuration, before systems are replicated and then protected. There is no backup feature such as Zerto, which is an added benefit. And Zerto can be installed within minutes and not weeks/months from EMC. Recoverpoint for VMware only works with EMC related storage and still has a limited feature set. It has a multitude of restrictions and isn't nearly as refined as Zerto. Zerto is storage agnostic and operates on the VMware hypervisor layer (along with Hyper-V) and is an all around great solution.
March 24, 2017
Zerto is the best thing since sliced bread.
Recoverpoint only handled the array level replication, and that left the VMs unaccounted for. Zerto does both.

Zerto - Master of Disaster
Zerto replicates at the hypervisor level, not the VM level like VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM). SRM replicates vms within or across vSphere clusters, but not between different hypervisors. While I only replicate from vcenter to vcenter, if we needed to replicate to a hyper-v cluster, it could be an option. SRM also doesn't replicate as fast as Zerto.
