5.0
Sep 19, 2025
Disaster recovery is critical for business continuity and Zerto is designed to simplify this challenge. It provides replication, orchestration, and automation in one platform. My overall experience highlights both its strengths and areas to improve. Overall, HPE Zerto provides strong disaster recovery and data protection capabilities with reliable performance. The platform's ease of use and near real-time replication have worked very well, though licensing costs and some complexity in large-scale deployments could be improved.

Fast and dependable failover with clear and repeatable workflows. Simple interface that makes administration easy.

No Solution is Perfect, and understanding the challenges helps set realistic expectations. While Zerto is powerful, there are a few aspects that i found less favorable. Licensening cost are relatively high and scaling can become complexing larger companies

Dislike

The experience of the implementation. Since we did not have the properly sized targets, we had many issues with deployment. We had to purchase other services from HP to make this work.

Dislike

The need to manually modify IP and DNS at the failover site during implementation.

    Intuitive Management Experience Noted with Network Configuration Challenges at Failover

    4.0
    Nov 20, 2025
    Our overall experience with Zerto has been good. The platform perform reliably, is easy to manage, and has consistently delivered fast and predictable failover results. The interface is intuitive, the learning curve was minimal, and the product has proven itself during testing and real events. The only challenge we ran into involved modifying IP and DNS settings at the failover site. If we were to do this again, we would stretch layer 2 to keep the same addressing and eliminate that step entirely.
