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."The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"The quickness and efficiency of creating snapshots, on a real-time basis, is one of the most valuable features. Whenever changes are made on a server, Zerto starts taking snapshots right away and replicating them to the DR site. It's very effective and very quick."
"The replication feature where it constantly replicates and sees that data is always in sync is valuable."
"In our DR testing, Zerto allows us to go work on other things while it takes care of everything. That's valuable because we know that we can still hit all of our SLAs in a real disaster."
"We now have the ability to replicate critical data to a secure, off-site location that can be brought back in seconds if needed."
"Managing the system is easy and reliable, you can choose any VM you want to replicate to your DR Site in Combination with other VM's."
"The live failover tests and point-in-time recovery options have been exceptionally valuable features of Zerto for our organization."
"Its user interface is excellent, and when it comes to data duplication, Zerto is very fast."
"It is way faster than just manually moving VMDKs, etc. It saves hours of time and a significant amount of money."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"Compared to other products, I would praise the intuitiveness of the product. But I think that can always be improved. The intuitiveness of the graphical user interface, while it is very solid and I don't have issues navigating it. I would say that it can always be improved."
"We would like some of the real fine or granular things. We've submitted a few minor things for enhancements such as being able to control bandwidth utilization for each facility you replicate to versus overall. We just need a little bit more granularity on some of the things, but there is not a whole bunch that is in need of tweaking."
"Zerto's price has room for improvement."
"The backup solution needs to be improved. From our perspective, Veeam and Zerto were competing products. They both do very unique things that they're very good at. For instance, Veeam can do replication well. However, it's really a backup product."
"I would like them to add a VM host replication option. Being able to replicate host configuration between sites would be a huge benefit."
"The syncing of the replication needs improvement. My experience has been that, every once in a while, when you go to do a failover, it tells you it's not syncing. Then you have to troubleshoot and figure out why it's not fully synced up."
"The replication layer can probably be improved."
"It took some time to get to know the solution in general, and exactly what functions each of the features is used for."
