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's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"Zerto offered us massive time saving and consistency. We have a consistent outcome every time we complete conversions."
"From a management perspective, one of the biggest benefits is to see the excitement of your engineers having a tool that truly enables them, really making their lives easier. That is something that I love. When we came out of the PoC, their eyes were just wide with excitement of what was possible now."
"The ability to perform DR testing to ensure data integrity is critical."
"Files can also be extracted from the VMDK at the remote site even when the VM is off."
"The user interface is very user-friendly."
"I would give it an eight out of 10, if not a nine out of 10, when it comes to ease of use."
"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."
"Our RTO is quick, and we can recover five to ten terabytes of data within minutes of a failover."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"It is expensive."
"The RPO for our SQL server has room for improvement."
"In general, the solution is pretty good, but because it is geared toward simplicity, sometimes, when things go wrong, the answer is not very detailed so that things can be solved quickly. If things do go wrong, it does require a little bit deeper troubleshooting to resolve the issues. That's the only area where improvement could occur. There should be a little bit more details about if things go wrong, how to remedy them."
"I would like them to add a VM host replication option. Being able to replicate host configuration between sites would be a huge benefit."
"The performance was generally good, but occasional lag disrupted the flow, leaving room for improvement."
"I would like Zerto to add support for VMware's lifecycle manager."
"Zerto needs to improve its support for VMware Lifecycle Manager."
"Zerto could improve its reporting capabilities."
