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.

Adopting advanced convergence and seamless management elevates data protections
While there are improvements to be made, such as providing support for older systems like IBM iSeries and tandem systems from HP, the solution overall shifts from older methods to modern practices. Customers looking for features that older systems provided might find gaps, but these are typically for very specific needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"Several features enable us to perform fast recovery, such as instant fast recovery. All our virtual machines protected with the product can be quickly restored to another healthy environment with minimal downtime for our main customers. These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives."
"The implementation and training are all done through the sales engineer, which provides for a seamless and great experience when it comes to starting with a new vendor."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"We can run test scripts on production data."
"We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."
"Cohesity customer service is the best that I have ever used. They are extremely fast in responding to cases, fixed all issues, and answered every question in a very timely manner."
"Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"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."
"Cohesity came in at the best price."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
