Cohesity DataProtect and Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup compete in the cloud and data protection category. Cohesity has the upper hand due to its comprehensive features, ease of integration with platforms, and highly rated scalability.
Features: Cohesity offers rapid VM recovery, advanced data indexing, and a unified backup solution that simplifies administration. Its seamless integration with VMware and scalability features are highly regarded. Barracuda provides reliable backup retention policies, Microsoft 365 synchronization, and virus detection through Microsoft Defender, but is seen as less feature-rich.
Room for Improvement: Cohesity users suggest improvements in cluster support, application integrations, and replication workflows. Enhancements in the update process and legacy system support are also desired. Barracuda needs to expand integration beyond Microsoft 365, streamline file recovery processes, and enhance data location capabilities.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Cohesity provides flexible deployment options, including on-premises and hybrid cloud, with customer service praised for its expertise. Barracuda operates in public and hybrid clouds, with good technical support, but Cohesity's broader deployment compatibility offers an advantage.
Pricing and ROI: Cohesity's pricing is noted for simplicity and potential long-term cost savings due to feature integration. Bundled licensing and virtual edition options are available. Barracuda is cost-effective with flexible pricing tailored to customer needs, potentially offering lower annual costs. Both products show strong ROI, though Cohesity offers more pronounced savings over time.
