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."
"Instead of four different solutions for protecting VMs, physical servers, SQL, and NAS, we now have one solution with Cohesity that is lightning fast and has amazing features."
"One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer."
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"The change has been night and day."
"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."
"The SQL Backup and Restore is very easy."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable. Being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place. It has good high availability, and it is also easy to maintain."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"Reducing storage capacity requirements and improving security features are also areas that could be enhanced."
"The support is pretty bad."
"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."
"Faster backup and restores, reduced costs of backups."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"We don't love the Exchange integration, it works fine but requires a third-party application called Kroll."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"The pricing model is impressive and very effective."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"Sizing is important and it is easy to overestimate."
"Cohesity came in at the best price."
"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."
