Zerto leaves zero doubt
We use Zerto for [the] replication of our VMs across the whole organization. Replication is made to a DR site 3 hours away with an RTO of 4 to 8 seconds. There is currently 48Tb being replicated. We hold normal copies for 3 days. We use Zerto's long-term retention and hold daily copies for 7 days, weekly copies for 1 month, monthly copies for 12 months, and yearly for 7 years. It fulfills our company [backup] policy for a financial institution.
- 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
- Compared to previous method of server restoration, the time needed is significantly less and much quicker.

Mainly monitoring if backups are being done reliably. Also generating reports on backups for auditing purposes.

I and one other person are all that is needed to maintain the system. It simply works.
- Reports for auditing needs
- Real time status on a mobile application
- Not a complicated web interface
- For testing we have used alternative backup machines and locations, all worked
- Recovered files for others using Zerto
- Tested new network circuits with a recovered test machine
- Backup to the cloud are anticipated in the future

- Product Features
- Product Usability
A key feature is the reporting ability.
Originally started using the product through an acquisition of another company. We gave it a try and it really worked well. So we purchased more licenses and integrated [them] into our backup policy.
- 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.
- Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
- Crosslinking data and accounts between our management server and Zerto
Yes. needed 24/7 support and it is available with the premium purchase.
Yes
Eventually, not immediately
Had an issue with VMs not replicating and after hours support stayed with me over the weekend and resolved the issue.
- Restoration routines are easy to perform
- Auditing/documenting restorations is nice
- When things go offline, sometimes the error reported is ambiguous
Yes
Very well. Use it more than I thought I would

It has decreased both RPO and RTO significantly
Primary Use Case
Replication of business critical VMware VMs over WAN to the remote disaster recovery datacenter.
Valuable Features
The 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 Organization
Compared to the previous DR replication solution, Zerto has decreased both RPO and RTO significantly.
- The simplicity of the setup
- The speed of replication
- Low RPO and RTO
- It's complicated to remove the virtual appliance if for some reason you lose the host.
- Replication of Microsoft/SQL Clusters needs good beforehand planning
- Compared to the previous DR replication solution, Zerto has decreased both RPO and RTO significantly.

Zerto is great!
We use Zerto to replicate our VMware environment, which has grown substantially over the past several years or so. We have an off-prem DR site that we replicate both on-site data and cloud data brought in from a wide array of formats and organizations. We love the functionality of the automation and the ease of management. It really helps free up time.
- DR
- Virtualized backup
- Replication
- Speed
- ROI
- TCO
- Definitely a good ROI, but could be more cost effective
- Licensing could be addressed
- Ease of manaegment
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.

All of the staff that use Zerto Replication Software are in our internal IT department. While we also have a sales staff that sells Zerto products and software, we also use it internally. So the sales team is very knowledgeable, but the IT team is the group that has their hands on the software and use it regularly.
We have a lot of engineering talent on our staff, so we most likely have one or a few employees who are able to fiddle around and make the changes we might need out of our Zerto replication environment, but if we need expert level experience, we would have to reach out to Zerto directly.
