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

"The platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."
"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."
"Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour."
"The solution is stable, with regular updates and patching."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"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."
"It's stable."
"Administratively, my staff is relieved at the ease of management and ongoing administration with Cohesity."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"Non-cloud services need improvement."
"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."
"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."
"Cannot exclude certain drives from VMs."
"The error handling could be improved."
"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"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."
"If SQL is in heavy use at your location, I would highly recommend narrowing your PoC testing to Cohesity and Rubrik. They will be competitive on pricing with each other, so really put them through the paces."
"The pricing model is impressive and very effective."
"Pricing, setup costs, etc. are pretty typical. The initial cost for Cohesity was less than other products the we evaluated. Cohesity's pricing does offer benefits as DR target costs are less than other solutions. You are not charged for DataProtect licensing for target DR data consumption."
"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."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
