Zerto is packed full of useful features. The main feature is easy to manage, you will not need to be in Zerto day to day as it runs flawless. Zerto has a plugin to integrate seamlessly into VMware VSphere tab. I would highlight is the fact Zerto was used to migrate all of our VMs from one data… more»How has it helped my organization?
Zerto was able to use an EMC PROD SAN, and a HP DR SAN with no issues or compatibility problems which allowed us to avoid buying expensive hardware for a DR site. Zerto has allowed us to feel comfortable our data is being replicated, and the data is not corrupted.What needs improvement?
I would like to see Zerto come up with an emergency line for support. Support does get back to you quickly, but when your heart is racing because something happened the calmness of a pro on the other end would be helpful. The reports also need TLC, as I do not really find them helpful. With these… more»What other advice do I have?
My advice for someone thinking about Zerto is to do the trial run that Zerto offers, you will be impressed. If you are looking to get RPO's of 30seconds or less, Zerto can do it. I typically see 8-18 seconds RPO. Needless to say this depends greatly on your WAN link. I highly recommend going to… more»

Some features are not up to what we need, although we have found alternatives and aren't really looking for Zerto to handle those items today. The setup process is… more»What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Zerto is not cheap but is an invaluable asset. If you have the need for what Zerto can do for you then the cost really isn't a factor.Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Prior to using Zerto, we were using VMware's SRS. It was not keeping a close enough copy of our servers.What other advice do I have?
When we implemented Zerto, we only utilized some of the features. This was mostly because of our needs at the time and partially because the other parts were not up to… more»Which other solutions did I evaluate?

There needs to be more flexibility in the licensing. I've mentioned to Zerto Management that I find the licensing at twenty-five VMs to be very restricting to an SME… more»What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Prior to this solution, we used storage mirroring and DFS syncing. Our old way used far too much storage. Zerto compresses the data well.What other advice do I have?
Don't underestimate how good it feels to rollback data instantly. It makes me look like a Wizzard at my desk.Which other solutions did I evaluate?
