Overall Satisfaction with Zerto

We use Zerto for Disaster Recovery and it has been a wonderful solution. This includes on-prem from a data center on the West Coast to another on the East Coast, it also includes on-prem to Azure, and Azure to Azure replication. We use it across the organization to DR any x86 virtual systems.

Pros

  • Virtual x86 DR replication
  • RPO checkpoints
  • Cyber Security recover to previous checkpoints.
  • Individual file restores from replicated systems.

Cons

  • Google Cloud Platform Native virtual system replication and protection.
  • DR and CyberSecurity recovery can be done in minutes or a few hours via Zerto, as opposed to days with backup/recovery.
  • DR testing and recovery can be done anytime in an isolated environment to test recoverability and functionality.
  • Zerto licensing is very affordable to protect critical business functions.
  • On-prem to cloud migrations are very quick and easy to perform.
Overall support is very good. We sometimes get pushback when asking Level 1 support to escalate to Level 2. This causes undue frustrations when you need a more knowledgeable support person to get involved. We've had to escalate to account reps a few times for this scenario. Zerto is very responsive and normally handles our requests very quickly.

Overall usability is very good. The interface is easy to use and very straightforward. Zerto has done a wonderful job of maintaining consistent use and operation across all platforms it is supported on.
I was not involved in the contract and pricing terms.
Zerto is well suited for VMware, HyperV, Azure, GCVE, and AWS replication. Zerto is not well suited for GCP Native system protection.
