Cohesity DataProtect Reviews

• It just works.
• Backup times are very fast.
• The UI makes sense, it is responsive, and it is easy to setup jobs.
• The ability to add nodes on the fly to increase storage needs is invaluable.
• You get a product engineer to set up the appliance with you and they continue to follow-up with you, making sure to answer all of your questions.

• Because of the excellent data reduction, we are able to back up all of our systems for the first time and use less space than our old backup appliance.
• We always have current backups; our old system would sometimes take days to back up larger systems.

• Cannot exclude certain drives from VMs.
• Cannot back up just directories.
• You have to reboot physical servers after installing the backup agent BUT this is because of the CBT driver that it installs. I totally understand the need, but I figure it is worth pointing out.
• Only archive options are to the cloud or tape; would like to have a disk option.

I have used it for a month.

We had an issue backing up a large VM with a crazy configuration the second time, but support quickly adjusted a setting and it has been working flawless ever since.

It has been rock solid!

We used to use Unitrends and wanted to get away from the following issues:

• Slow backup times
• Jobs randomly failing
• Poor and unresponsive UI
• Forklift upgrades (space issues)

Cohesity was able to resolve all of the above issues, no problem.

The initial setup was very quick and easy. We had an engineer on site to answer any questions that popped up during first-time configuration.

The vendor came on site, set up the appliance and worked with us to answer any questions we had.

We use Cohesity DataProtect mainly for our data protection and data management platform. We are evaluating Cohesity DataProtect against a few other solutions in the market.

Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection. Given the market landscape around the cybersecurity portfolio, it would be really interesting to see how it evolves.

The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors.

I have been using Cohesity DataProtect for a couple of years.

I rate Cohesity DataProtect an eight out of ten for stability.

I rate Cohesity DataProtect a nine out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup was pretty straightforward.

I didn't install the solution myself. Another team, consisting of two to three engineers, installed the solution smoothly without any issues. The solution's deployment should not take more than a day or two.

Overall, I rate Cohesity DataProtect an eight out of ten.
