IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

Backup operations have become faster and daily recoveries run smoothly for on‑prem workloads
When compared to other tools, the deduplication in Cohesity DataProtect is very fast, and the restore performance is better than other tools. Global deduplication ensures that only unique data blocks are stored, significantly reducing storage consumption. Cohesity DataProtect's dashboard displays options and errors clearly, making it easy to access and understand how to fix issues. Cohesity DataProtect's ability to start processes automatically without manual selections enhances its reliability. Cohesity DataProtect's architecture ensures that agent installations automatically reflect in the dashboard, allowing for seamless integration into backup jobs. This improves operational efficiency, ensuring backups can be triggered without manual refreshes. Additionally, the user interface is intuitive, and the respect of the N-1 rule during updates helps prevent client-affecting issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"The solution boasts good retention, as it is global in a single platform and, since they have their own appliance, it is scalable as well."
"I found value in the instant recovery with DataMove. I found value in the protection group model for applying policies to VMs. And in the overall UI navigation and the way that the application is laid out in the web browser."
"The nice thing is there is no further licensing when you purchase the system, all is integrated."
"Within the system, we have rule-based access control, single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and basic identity and access management features."
"While we're still new in the implementation, we are excited that we now have a single point of view for all of our backups."
"This solution is easy to manage."
"The SQL Backup and Restore is very easy."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"Replication between two Cohesity clusters should be be improved in the next releases."
"There are several areas that have room for improvement, and I believe there are other aspects that could be enhanced as well."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"Technical support being outsourced is a downside but not different from every one of Cohesity's competitors."
"Features I would like to see include a more visible data lifecycle monitoring tab, and an easier to read backup status dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"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."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
