"Zerto great backup tool in case of disaster recovery"

4/5

What do you like best about Zerto?

Zerto is an excellent tool for backing up our servers in the event of disaster recovery, in addition to being a tool that guarantees the operation of our cloud services. In addition, it is manageable, configurable, and adaptable with other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zerto?

Currently, I have not had news with the tool; I think it could improve the generation of reports and make them more adaptable to what the end-user requires. I would only improve the reports interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zerto:

Excellent tool to use in case you require replicas of your servers with the best possible time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zerto make Disaster Recovery Easy"

5/5

What do you like best about Zerto?

The flexibility to add, remove and maintain the VMs we want protected. We were able to setup a test, deploy the environment and convert it to a Production deployment with one license change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zerto?

There is nothing that I dislike about Zerto. We have found it to be one of the best products we have purchased. The only item that we could see that needs improvement is using external tools to issue commands with the API. We often had to work around them and their documentation to get it to work.

Recommendations to others considering Zerto:

Try a POC and you will understand the ease and simplicity that it brings to Disaster Recovery Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zerto solving and how is that benefiting you?

We went from restores that took 48+ hours to being able to do restore 300+servers in just over an hour and have the IP address changed. We are able to perform quarterly DR tests in a day or two - building it up and tearing it down in a small percent of the previous time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ease of use is amazing considering all it can do. From Zero to Zerto"

5/5

What do you like best about Zerto?

I like the analytics portal because it gives me an overview of my environment. I enjoy that I have a single pane of glass for a health check of my environment. The other thing that I did like best was the mobile app. I currently have the app on my iPhone and check it daily. I can do this from anywhere by using my myzerto portal credentials and not having to start a VPN connection to check the status of our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zerto?

The only thing that I dislike is that the myzerto portal, the username or email is case sensitive. That took some time to figure out with support. The other thing that I would love to see is application aware backups and recovery. With Zerto 7 the ability to have backups and disaster recovery was amazing. But there is still a need for application based backup solution for certain applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zerto:

Ask for a demo. See all it can do. Implementation was quick and painless. The main recommendation I would have based on my experience would be to set WAN traffic throttling to half to ensure your network backbone is not hammered too severely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zerto solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Zerto we had zero plan of business continuity. The implantation of Zerto has provided our organization the ability be in compliance with having a disaster recovery solution in place. Now we are able to publish our RPOs to our operations team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
