We performed a comparison between Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service 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."It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."
"The solution is stable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."
"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."
"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."
"Zerto offered a very good front-end GUI for orchestration. The graphic interface was very good."
"The fact that we are able to test the failover of live systems during regular hours is invaluable to our organization."
"The most valuable for us and for my company is that we are replicating most of our production customers to the DR site, and we can do testing whenever we want."
"There are several valuable features because of the way we use it. The backup and restore features are definitely indispensable."
"The most valuable tool is the dashboard, which allows us to immediately check the DLP status, replication data, and all other data needed to have cleaner and immediate control of the situation."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of upgrades."
"Four years ago when we did a PoC between two other vendors and Zerto, there were two features of Zerto that sold it, hands-down. One was the ease of creating protection groups, the ease with which our engineers could create protection, add virtual machines into the Zerto product, and get them under DR protection."
"The way we can use checkpoints from each VM to restore them is an excellent feature, and the replication is great."
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."
"The pricing could be better."
"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."
"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"They need better reporting on the environment."
"For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us."
"Zerto generates many false positive alerts, which is annoying. I still have thousands of alerts in my inbox, and those are false alerts. When I check there's actually no problem."
"In terms of improvement, it would be helpful if the implementation team had a better best practices guide and made sure things like the journaling are very clearly understood."
"If I had to pick anything, it would be the documentation for upgrades. They need to make it easier for users to do upgrades without having to contact support, by providing better documentation for that."
"The only thing I really don't like about Zerto is that the ZVM has to be a Windows server. I can spin up any OBA template whenever I want to, but if it has an OS that's tied to it, then I have to involve the OS team from my company. That drives me crazy."
"It took some time to get to know the solution in general, and exactly what functions each of the features is used for."
"I am a little bit worried about how Zerto will work with large volumes of data, such as replication for big data and very large files."
"The technical support response needs improvement."
"Zerto needs to improve its documentation."
