We performed a comparison between Azure Site Recovery and Zerto based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"The second feature that sold us was the sub-second RPO. One of the things that made Zerto's product stand out from some of the more traditional solutions four years ago was its ability to maintain sub-second RPO over a group of machines, and that group of machines could be spread over multiple storage hardware."
"Zerto has improved our restoration time and made it easier to test software upgrades. It has simplified tasks like decommissioning a site and replicating virtual machines from one location to another."
"Real-time replication is a valuable feature, ensuring that changes made to the production site are immediately reflected at the recovery site."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to recover critical systems, such as public safety, within a few minutes. In addition, the RPO is six seconds of data loss, tops."
"The ease of setting up replication, the speed, and the ease with which I can fail over and fail back are all excellent aspects of the solution."
"The disaster recovery features are the best I've found."
"The ease of use is one of the best features. Previously, we were using Site Replication Manager with VMware and it was a little bit cumbersome. With Zerto, we liked the fact that it was hardware-agnostic and we were able to spin it up pretty quickly and get it working."
"We use to use VMware replication appliances to attempt to replicate our VMs to remote locations and servers, but Zerto's one-to-many replication options with deduplication have made the process much simpler without having to constantly worry about the versions of each driver."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support."
"I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"The documentation needs improvement in terms of the setup, getting enough detail, and getting that up to speed."
"We're an NSX-T shop, and if I could get an NSX-T integration where it could manage the networks a little tighter, that would be an improvement."
"The only issue I've ever had is that I wish that Zerto would work more closely with VMware. There have been a few times that Zerto has released an update but it wasn't supported with that version of VMware. I would like them to coordinate their updates with VMware's updates."
"I don't have any input for improvement or a critical feature request at this moment. If anything, a lower price is always better."
"It would be nice if we were able to purchase single licenses for Zerto. As it is now, scaling requires that we purchase a multi-pack."
"An integrated encryption would allow for faster initial install and connection to the remote cloud site."
"I would like Zerto to provide more detailed information when there is an issue."
"The replication layer can probably be improved."
