Figuring out VPG sizing is a nightmare.

What differentiates Zerto Platform from other similar products?

Replication at the VM level and not at the volume level gives great granularity Able to do test fail overs without impacting actual production VMs Can group VMs together in VPGs to ensure continuity in fail over With two vCenter servers and Zerto enterprise license, you can replicate to multiple locations Not tied to any hardware but be aware will need a lot of storage Can start will minimum 15 licenses and add as needed

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Being able to replicate at the VM level

What do you dislike most about this product?

Not able to throttle bandwidth at the VM or VPG level

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Really need two vCenter servers, one at the source site and one at the destination site to ensure recoverability in event the vCenter at the source site is not available. Having two vCenter servers also enables replication to multiple sites. Really need a lot of storage space not just for the replicated VMs, but for the logs which can actually grow to several times the size of the VMs depending on the amount of change and how far back you want to be able to restore to. Zerto says solution needs 5 Mb on the WAN but realistically depends a lot on the amount of change. Most of my VPGs have no problem keeping up but one particular VPG is in almost continuous state of syncing.

Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

Automated Backup Testing and Verification Goes beyond monitoring whether backup jobs completed by verifying the integrity of data restoration.

Continuous Data Protection Changed data is replicated continuously and maintained in a journal, allowing an application to be consistently restored to almost any previous point in time.

Replication for High Availability Beyond secondary copy backup, the solution also manages replication of primary data host-to-host and site-to-site for live failover and high availability.

Backup of Cloud Based Data In addition to targeting backups to the cloud, the solution also has the capability to back up primary data and services already in the cloud.

Virtual Machine Backup Automatically discovers and protects VMs as they come online, move, and change. Production VMs are replicated to a secondary data store.

Replication for Long Term Storage and Disaster Recovery Onsite backup data is replicated and stored to a public cloud (AWS, Azure). Can also include restore-to-cloud capabilities for Disaster Recovery as a Service.

Application Consistency Groupings Provides internally consistent protection, mobility, and recovery, including from both short- and long-term retention and for a single/entire VM.

Backup Automation Solution automates backup, recovery and remediation tasks using RestAPI and CLI to integrate with 3rd party solutions, reduce cost and enforce standards.

Deduplication Implementation Deduplication of redundant data blocks is implemented by the solution. Deduplication can be at source, target, or globally (source and target).

Integration With Storage Arrays Integrates with APIs from major storage vendors (NetApp, HP, Dell EMC) to leverage capabilities in these arrays such as data snapshots and replication.

Backup Monitoring and Reporting Backup and replication are continually monitored for status and effectiveness. Detailed reporting is available on successful and unsuccessful operations.

Vendor Capability Ratings Average rating of all vendor capabilities, some of which may not be shown below

Ease of Implementation Successfully implementing new software is necessary to realize its full value and promote end user adoption. This data indicates whether or not the product is easy to implement.

Vendor Support The importance of vendor support will vary for each organization depending on internal capabilities, but there will always be issues that only the vendor can resolve.

Usability and Intuitiveness End user learning curves cost the organization money. Pay attention to your end users' technical ability to determine how important UX is in your purchase.

Ease of Data Integration Use this data to determine whether the product will cause headaches or make data integration easy.

Breadth of Features Users prefer feature rich software that enables them to perform diverse series of tasks. This data expresses user satisfaction with the product's breadth of features.

Product Strategy and Rate of Improvement Vendors who don't stay on top of emerging needs and trends won't enable you to meet your business goals. Use this data to separate innovators from imposters.

Quality of Features Feature quality is just as important as quantity. Use this data to determine if this product will do what you're purchasing it to do, easily, intuitively, reliably, and effectively.

Availability and Quality of Training Effective and readily available training enables users to get the most out of the software you've chosen. Use this section to make sure your vendor's training programs and materials measure up.
