Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.

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

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Integration with AWS has been invaluable to us."
"The solution is stable."
"The customer service and support are fast and professional."
"The solution is stable, with regular updates and patching."
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"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."
"Reliable backup solution with many options and friendly/logical backup/restore infrastructure."
"The support is awesome. They are very fast, competent and friendly."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The container functionality is very limited at the moment, not covering the whole container."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"Reducing storage capacity requirements and improving security features are also areas that could be enhanced."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"The support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs."
"Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing model is impressive and very effective."
"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 solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"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."
