We performed a comparison between Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 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 is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"We now have the ability to replicate critical data to a secure, off-site location that can be brought back in seconds if needed."
"Zerto is extremely easy to use. You set it and forget it."
"We work a lot with customers that need disaster recovery and the best possible migration approaches, and Zerto helps them minimize the amount of effort it takes to finish their upgrades or migrations."
"It is pretty easy to use. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. Once you set it up, it just works. So, it is great."
"It works really well. It's simple to set up and works well. Moreover, disaster recovery to the cloud to our organization is very important. We actually had to use it three years ago, and it worked out well for us."
"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."
"We've never had any major headaches with the virtual-protection groups. They seem to work exactly as they should. If there's ever an issue with replication, we know right away, so it's all been very reliable."
"Zerto is fast to restore our mission-critical servers when needed."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"There's a mandatory VMware version, so we need to update our VMs in order to access our data. Zerto should work with all VMware versions."
"I wish Zerto had better file restoration capabilities. We have not been able to use that because of the limitations of Zerto's de-duplication technology."
"I don't have any input for improvement or a critical feature request at this moment. If anything, a lower price is always better."
"When we are trying to upgrade any virtual machines, we have to stop the virtual machines that have been replicated in Zerto and then upgrade or update to the virtual machines onsite. Instead of having to do it manually, there should be some way of automating that particular function."
"Migration of complex VMware and Hyper-V solution. Using Zerto to replicate to azure and S3."
"I would like Zerto to enhance the continuous backup aspect."
"The backup end of this solution could be improved. We tried using it as a full backup solution and it took way too long to complete at least one backup."
"The technical support is hit or miss."
