We performed a comparison between iland Secure Cloud Backup and Zerto based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."iland is excellent as far as the interface."
"The service itself wasn't bad."
"They have just implemented a Backup and Restore portal that we think is very good."
"The replication being log-based is awesome."
"When we replicated our data, I turned up the machine, and it was up in seconds. It blew my mind. I could not believe it."
"The most valuable feature is real-time replication, where we have the ability to recover things in near real-time."
"A new feature is the One-To-Many VPG allowing a VM to be replicated at up to three different locations, including local."
"The low RPO times of about four to eight seconds are very nice and very valuable to us."
"The ability to quickly bring up VMs within a test environment allows us to test our disaster recovery functions and ensures that they would function just as well in an actual disaster scenario."
"Live replication and up to the second type of failover are valuable. The fact that we can do test failovers and failbacks is important for our ISO certification."
"Zerto is very good at providing continuous data protection. For replication purposes, it's definitely better than Veeam. Veeam doesn't do as good a job as Zerto does when it comes to replication. The other alternative would be to just have backups somewhere. But even with backups, you lose a lot of time because you have to set it all up. With Zerto, you failover, you just click a couple of buttons and you run from the other location."
"The vendor needs to changes billing to work like every other business and stop charging people if they stop using your service."
"They don't support a more current version of VMware."
"I would like to see a better method of backing up Exchange in the cloud."
"It took some time to get to know the solution in general, and exactly what functions each of the features is used for."
"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."
"We had some issues with replication, especially on Linux, but we have already resolved them."
"I want to have an OVF or some local deployment where I can deploy the ZVRA rather than having to push it from the console. Some of our smaller remote sites have relatively poor bandwidth, and they can't keep up with the constant deployment stream from our center console, meaning we have to find some creative hours to get around the bandwidth bottlenecks. If I could push out a small install file, install it locally, and then reach back to the console, that would be excellent."
"For what we got it for, it does it great. I use a different solution for my disk-to-disk local backups to where I can have a local backup of files. I don't think Zerto does that well to where it keeps a memory of the files that are there. Basically, when something is deleted on Zerto, it gets deleted on the replicated version. So, some sort of snapshotting or something where I could have backups at different points in time of files would be a really helpful tool."
"Certain areas were designed and work fine for VMware but are under development for Hyper-V. Eventually, all features will work for both platforms."
"The performance was generally good, but occasional lag disrupted the flow, leaving room for improvement."
"Their data backup and restore have some ways to go."
