“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.

The product was over-sold. What was promised was not delivered with what we purchased. Many changes had to be made after the product was implemented.

    Zerto Offers Fast Disaster Recovery But May Challenge Limited IT Budgets

    5.0
    Dec 9, 2025
    Great experience overall with Zerto for fast recovery and DR orchestration. Their CDP model enables a much faster recovery and drastically reduces data loss due to disaster or outage. Plus, deployment can be on prem, cloud, and hybrid.

    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.

    The DRP solution met our data protection needs; continuous replication works reliably, and the low RPOs give us peace of mind. Being able to perform Disaster Recovery tests without production downtime is a huge plus. The management portal is intuitive and allows for excellent monitoring.

Performance of HPE Zerto Software Across Market Features

HPE Zerto Software Likes & Dislikes

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.

Like

The concept is very good When scoped correctly, it can deliver what is promised Powerful features that work

Like

Zerto's UI and workflows are intuitive, so configuration, replication, and recovery are easier than using some of the other legacy backup solutions.

Dislike

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

Dislike

It requires a lot of care and feeding.

Dislike

Costs always come into play, as Zerto is enterprise-grade, it can be more expensive than some of the other more simple backup tools. If you have a limited budget, it may be difficult to justify.
