Overall Satisfaction with Zerto Virtual Replication

We are using Zerto Virtual Replication throughout our whole organization. It solves the problem of complicated data replication between our primary and DR datacenters.
  • Zerto is extremely easy to manage and use vs. other hardware solutions like EMC RecoverPoint, which we tried in the past.
  • Zerto replicates on the hypervisor layer, which in turn replications the entire VMs, which lessens the complexity of having to replicate both data AND VM. it does both.
  • It's storage agnostic, so you don't have to have the same storage in both prod and DR environments.
  • It would be nice to have a shorter window of consistency checking when you failover. It takes a long time when you have a larger VM that you have failed over.
  • The integrated backup solution is a little convoluted and weak vs. other products like veeam, and should be strengthened for wider acceptance.
  • Zerto had an immediate positive ROI because we avoided having to spend the professional services to setup EMC RecoverPoint, and the continuing premium of the EMC product and support for later years.
Recoverpoint only handled the array level replication, and that left the VMs unaccounted for. Zerto does both.
Zerto is a great solution for those looking for hypervisor level replication that do not have the budget for having a powerful/expensive SAN in production AND also in DR, since it's storage agnostic. However, for firms that are not 100% virtualized, this solution might not be a good fit because you still need to have a method to replicate the physical machines.
