We employ Zerto in our main data center as our emergency back up system. Many times we have had issues or maintenance needed and with a few clicks, we have been able to failover to Zerto. It keep us up and running- it has really saved our bacon and made it easy to keep our up-time at 100%
Pros
Zerto handles the details in the initial setup, so it's ready to go when it's needed.
The fail over is instantaneous! No downtime.
Cons
Zerto IS a little more pricey than other options, but you get what you pay for!

In cases where keeping your environment available 100% of the time, Zerto is a magnificent tool and makes things so easy. I can’t sleep so much better at night knowing that we have a solution that within a couple of clicks will allow us to get back up and running.
Zerto is being used as it's intended to be used, as a disaster recovery product. Zerto replicates critical company data to other data centers just in case a disaster ever occurs and it does it very well.
Pros
Offsite data replication
Testing of data that is replicated offsite
Ease of use
Cons
Monitoring could be better. More granularity for setting alerts.
Encrypt replicated data.
Expensive.

Zerto is well suited if you are wanting to replicate your critical data quickly to another data center. This provides quick and easy turn up in case of a disaster. If you are just looking to backup your data and don't need to quickly turn up the DR site after a disaster, Zerto isn't necessary.
Zerto is our primary high availability and DR solution. We use it across our entire organization to provide continuous replication that protects our environment. We also use Zerto to migrate our VMs between data centers and cloud providers. The simple interface and ease of being able to get it set up and configured let us quickly react to changes in our virtual environment.
Pros
It is simple to set up and use. In my opinion, one of the most important functions of a tool is its interface. If you have the best product in the world but it takes an arm and a leg to configure and a doctorate degree to use, then the product isn't worth very much.
The continuous replication is done very well. The failover and failback process runs smoothly.
This has less to do with the product than the company, but Zerto as a company really listens to their customer base. We've always had a very good interpersonal experience with their support and sales teams. Having great people behind their product is definitely one of Zerto's strengths.
Cons
The price point and minimum license requirements would make it difficult for a smaller organization to adopt Zerto.
I'm trying to figure out how to integrate it with SQL, but currently, I've found other DR methods for SQL still work better.
Likelihood to Recommend
Zerto does an amazing job of making sure our critical systems stay up and protected. I'm not sure I'd want to spend the money that would be required on a license for a development server, but for those systems you just can't live without, Zerto is our go-to product.
