"The backup and recovery options work flawlessly."
"One key feature is it encrypts your data at rest which is really good."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery has good scalability."
"The RTO and RPO are unparalleled. In the event you do have an issue, you can be back up and running (depending on the size of your infrastructure) within minutes. Your RTO can be 15 minutes and data loss be five minutes. I don't think that's matched by anybody else in the field."
"The near-synchronous replication is key. That has allowed us to provide the low RPOs that we promise. For key systems, that has been the deciding factor."
"Zerto is easy to use and the interface is very intuitive."
"Files can also be extracted from the VMDK at the remote site even when the VM is off."
"I really like how you can test the failover as often as you need."
"Since the log files are continuously transmitted, the granularity of restores is amazing."

"The solution covers specific versions of Windows and Linux, and it would be good if other Linux versions or some special appliances could work in the Acronis Disaster Recovery environment."
"The documentation can be improved, this would have helped."
"The product should improve compute points."
"In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support."
"Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."
"I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities."
"The cost is acceptable."
"They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations."
"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."
"Some of the features need improvement. One would be, as you're creating a Move group or a VPG, as they call it, it should either autosave or have the ability so that you can save it for coming back to later because if the setup times out, you lose all your work. That would be a nice improvement to have."
"There are certain things about the user interface that could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"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."
"I would like to see better notifications when the sync is off for an extended length of time."
"I would like Zerto to add support for VMware's lifecycle manager."
"My only business complaint is the cost of the solution. I feel like the cost could be a tad lower, but we are willing to pay extra to get the Premium service."
"This solution could be improved if it met all the requirements that we look for including supporting multiple operating systems. We would prefer to use one solution for DR and backup."
