	Cloud FastPath	Zerto on IBM Cloud
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Anirudh Srinivas Lead Enterprise Architect Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized SS Shiv Shivakumar IT Ops Read full review
