Plenty of useful feature and reliable
We use Asigra for backups I have found all the features useful in the solution. I have been using Asigra for approximately two months. The solution is stable. The six people in our IT department are using the solution. The initial setup was a medium difficulty level. Some parts were complex…

Adopting advanced convergence and seamless management elevates data protections
While there are improvements to be made, such as providing support for older systems like IBM iSeries and tandem systems from HP, the solution overall shifts from older methods to modern practices. Customers looking for features that older systems provided might find gaps, but these are typically for very specific needs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Cohesity DataProtect is a converged solution that simplifies backup and allows use of the backed-up data."
"With the ability to stage an entire lifecycle through versioning, integrated with AWS, it has made it possible to protect our corporation from end to end."
"The most valuable aspect for me is that I don't have to deal with media in terms of tapes like our existing system does."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"Cohesity customer service is the best that I have ever used. They are extremely fast in responding to cases, fixed all issues, and answered every question in a very timely manner."
"We are looking forward to the next release, so we can take advantage of the AHV backup for our Nutanix environment."
"The ability to essentially instantly recover a VM and have it run on the Cohesity Platform while all those bits are technically being recovered in the background is useful to us."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Reducing storage capacity requirements and improving security features are also areas that could be enhanced."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"The support from Cohesity is good, but it is not as exceptional as Nutanix."
"The support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"The pricing model is impressive and very effective."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"From my last assessment, the pricing for Cohesity DataProtect was reasonable. Compared to its closest competitor, Rubrik, I found Rubrik's pricing to be somewhat high-end. While Rubrik may have more advanced security features than Cohesity DataProtect currently, Cohesity DataProtect is releasing a new solution in the near future that will compete directly with Rubrik."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"It has reasonable pricing, and we know they can give discounts. If you look at the primary pricing or the list pricing, it conforms to the market pricing, but you have to have a discount on it. Otherwise, it is way too expensive."
"The ROI is huge. Not really measurable at this point, but the price of the unit was a fraction of what a couple hours of downtime could result in."
"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
"There is monthly licensing."
