Zerto on IBM Cloud
Chose Zerto on IBM Cloud
The price difference was not much and pre-existing relations with IBM.
Chose Zerto on IBM Cloud
We had prior experience with Zerto and we were very happy with how it worked. Rubrik is also a very good product, but we wanted to go with the solution we were most familiar with. Zerto combined with IBM Cloud is a reliable combo that we feel works together well in addressing …
Chose Zerto on IBM Cloud
Zerto was simpler and faster when it came to a large data repository that needs backup, replication, and restoration. Even though it was slightly more expensive, the functionality and features of Zerto drove us to go with it.
Chose Zerto on IBM Cloud
Zerto is faster and provides easier recovery options with a very short rpo, rapid recovery and easily browsed point in time backups.
Chose Zerto on IBM Cloud
Zerto on IBM Cloud was the more robust and proven solution that provides continuous data protection when compared with Veeam.

Zerto on iLand did not allow us to get the full management experience of Zerto as it was all accessed via iLand's third-party management portal. Our IBM …
Chose Zerto on IBM Cloud
Before we were using native backup solutions. We elected to bring in Zerto on IBM Cloud so that our team could have the ability to take small increments of data over time so that the final cutover would be quick and efficient.
Chose Zerto on IBM Cloud
Price was comparable, functionality was greater
Chose Zerto on IBM Cloud
If I understand correctly, I evaluated those products for an IoT device management solution, that manages sensors not virtual machines, Not sure how to compare

If the environment is fully IBM cloud-based with simple infra components like the SQL servers, standard VMs or applications with short recovery time objectives. This cost-effective solution can save in implementing rather than an expensive DR mechanism or tool to support the overall recovery strategy. If you have complex environments where mission-critical apps like Oracle Databases are running in a cluster mode and features like data guard is used this option would not be a good choice due to complexity.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • Ease of setup and upgrade. Installation and configuration was a breeze and can get you protected in just minutes without having to set up additional hardware.
  • Consolidated billing of the IBM infrastructure and Zerto licensing. One bill to pay monthly.
  • Ease of support access. Contacting IBM Cloud support is quick and easy and they can quickly involve Zerto support if needed.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Enable the ability to use IBM Cloud Object Storage as a target for Zerto's long-term retention feature.
  • Easier access to the underlying VMware infrastructure would be nice. Right now we have to connect to IBM's VPN and use other tools to do some infrastructure management tasks.
  • More insight into the IBM-side VMware environment that we replicate to (i.e. ability to see available IPs, etc). Most of that is managed by IBM.

  • Overall, it's a very effective solution both from a cost and operational standpoint. We now do DR tests once a quarter rather than once every 6 months.
