We performed a comparison between SAP NetWeaver and Zerto based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, SAP, Aurea and others in SOA Governance."The integration feature is valuable."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is the central point for all our data storage. We have one single version of the truth that we can communicate to all our customers."
"The presentation is the most valuable feature. It's very conceptual. We had to follow the instructions very strictly. It's a Dutch or German product and we had to follow it step-by-step."
"The flexibility and the customizability this solution has when adapting to our business requirements is a huge benefit."
"We strongly rely on our SAP data. We need access to the information to analyze it, so the solution allows us to make use of the data that we get from SAP. This is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Finance and distribution are the most important features."
"The stability is not an issue, and I would rate it at seven out of ten."
"One of the most valuable features, something that I wasn't even anticipating, is the file backups. We weren't even considering Zerto to do restores, but it actually is able to do that. Eventually, we could just use this as our backup solution."
"We can spin up our environment in DR without affecting production, which is probably the biggest feature for us. We have the ability to do passive testing. We can even test scenarios, such as installing software or changing software. We can make modifications without affecting our production environment. So, the test functionality of being able to test the failover solution and being able to bring up our virtual machines in a test mode is the biggest benefit."
"Zerto is extremely easy to use. You set it and forget it."
"Our RPOs and RTOs are now more in line with our other critical systems."
"Its ability to roll back if the VM or the server that you are recovering does not come up right is also valuable. You have the ability to roll back a few seconds or a few minutes. The rollback feature is great."
"The most valuable feature is Zerto's ability to precopy data to a remote destination prior to the actual live migration period. That saves us a lot of time and has been very helpful. For example, if we had migrations occurring in waves over a period of several weeks with a VPG or VPG setup of approximately 50 VMs, that is multiple gigabytes of data, even terabytes in many cases. Having that data already copied on the evening of the migration saves considerable hours of time. It easily saves us four to six hours a night."
"Zerto offered us massive time saving and consistency. We have a consistent outcome every time we complete conversions."
"The whole package is valuable. The most useful feature for the company is the rapid RTO, which offers a faster return to operations and brings us back online quicker. The last time we had an issue, we recovered within about 36 minutes, which was probably the most valuable thing for us because, previously, it took four to seven days."
"SAP NetWeaver it's still complex for a normal user unless you memorize those action codes."
"The solution needs to better integrate Salesforce. It is a key player in the market and a lot of companies are looking for a lot more integration around it."
"Scalability would be a good improvement in future releases, if they do release future versions. They tried to create a seamless style, but it's not necessarily scalable to big development environments that we're trying to achieve."
"Technical support response time was slow."
"Has become somewhat unstable recently."
"Though SAP NetWeaver has been pretty stable and mature, some issues arose after some customizations, so that's an area for improvement."
"The product documentation can be improved."
"SAP NetWeaver should be better integrated with other products outside of SAP."
"The number-one area in which they need to improve their product is what I would call "automatic self-healing." This is related to running them at scale... We have 1,000 VRAs and if any one of their VRAs has a problem, goes offline, all of the customer protection groups and all of the customers that are tied to that VRA are not replicating at all. That means the RPO is slipping until somebody makes a manual effort to fix the issue. It has become a full-time job at my company for somebody to keep Zerto running all the time, everywhere, and to keep all the customers up and going."
"Maybe the reporting for the failover test could be a little better."
"There needs to be more flexibility in the licensing."
"I would like to see a separate product offer for performing backups, although I think that this is something that they are expecting to release in the next version."
"We're an NSX-T shop, and if I could get an NSX-T integration where it could manage the networks a little tighter, that would be an improvement."
"We do have some sites that are very low-bandwidth sites. Zerto is able to set throttling in the solution, but the throttling is set at a site-wide level. In those instances that have very low bandwidth, I can't reduce the throttling on that site. It would be nice if there were a way to control the throttling by the protection group for a specific workload."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by including some sort of compression or de-duplication for the same type of files."
