Top Reasons Zerto is better than Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines (VMs)

Continuous data protection with extended journal times

Consistent backup and recovery for your applications 

Scale and ease of use

Orchestration and automation

Total cost of ownership (TCO) with Zerto

“We previously used Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines and completely replaced it with Zerto. Zerto is much easier to use compared to RecoverPoint. [...], Zerto keeps track of the VM regardless of its location, making it superior to RecoverPoint in terms of configuration and management. Zerto is a more cost-effective product than Dell RecoverPoint.”

Rodney Barnhardt

Server Administrator

Construction company

Dell RecoverPoint Classic

With Zerto: multi-cloud mobility, cyber resilience, built-in orchestration... and more!

Top Reasons Zerto is better than Dell RecoverPoint Classic

Purposed-built features for cyber resilience

Real-time encryption detection

Support for multiple hypervisors and clouds 

Robust orchestration and automation for DR and migrations

Simple, single solution delivering DR, data mobility at scale

“We evaluated RecoverPoint, which was very difficult to set up. Even as a test, it was hard to set up. With Zerto, all you have to do is deploy the executable and start setting things up. So, it was very easy. Then, I insisted that the company buy Zerto for me.”

System Engineer

National Indemnity Company

Rubrik

With Zerto: built-in automation & orchestration, vm to application level consistency... and more!

Top Reasons Zerto is better than Rubrik

Snapshot-free continuous data protection (CDP) 

Consistent recovery for your applications 

Orchestration and automation 

Total cost of ownership (TCO) with Zerto

Many other advantages over Rubrik

“In the Rubrik world to instantiate 30 VMs from a blob target to compute, would take 30 hours, with Zerto a 100 VM’s took 15 minutes.”

John Leitgeb

IT Director

Kingston Technology

Veeam 

With Zerto: one interface, native CDP, simple licensing... and more!

Top Reasons Zerto is better than Veeam

Continuous data protection with a 30-day journal 

Replication to and across the cloud

Top Reasons Zerto is better than Veritas Resiliency Platform

Continuous data protection (CDP)

Orchestration and automation 

Granular recovery 

Ease of management and low overhead 

“ When you compare Zerto's ease of use with that of SRM and Veritas, Zerto is really easy, especially when you're doing a DR exercise or a failover. It has evolved and is now even easier. With every iteration, they make the verbiage clearer, and people just gravitate to it.”

Pharma/Biotech company

VMware Live Site Recovery 

With Array-Based Replication

With Zerto: Get many supported use cases, go beyond the storage layer... and more!

Top Reasons Zerto is better than VMware Live Site Recovery with Array-Based Replication

Continuous data protection (CDP)

Consistent recovery for your applications 

Orchestration and automation 

Granular recovery 

“ I guess testing with it was fairly cumbersome. It wasn’t so much a per VM product, where with Zerto it is. So Zerto, you can failover one or many very easily, and with SRM you have to do it at a storage layer to support the product.”
