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.

Like

It works when properly implemented.

Like

The product is very robust and supports multiple use cases be it Data Protection (backup), Disaster recovery and Migration very well. The dashboard is also very well organized, most of the things are self-explanatory. So, in simple words, easy to Implement, configure and operate. However, due to some IP conflicts which are used by Zerto appliance by default we faced issues during implementation, but it was when we received the world class services from Zerto support team to get out of that situation.

Dislike

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

My only concern is the expensive and complex licensing, otherwise it will be a 5 star rating

    Zerto Offers Robust Disaster Recovery With Complex and Costly Licensing Model

    4.0
    Feb 5, 2026
    Zerto is a robust & modern disaster recovery tool and data protection tool. We used it for a different use case which was sort of migration (Cloud repatriation) One of the key strengths is its journal based continuous replication feature which eliminates the risk of data loss. At the same time, the licensing is very complex and costly as well.

    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.
