Featured Reviews

Shiva Kinnera - PeerSpot reviewer
Support and connection issues affect user experience
I currently work at TCS in a different domain using AWS and Azure cloud backup. I switched from Cognizant to TCS four months ago, where I previously used Cohesity Data Cloud and Cohesity tools. I prefer Cohesity Data Cloud over AWS. While cloud functionality is similar across platforms, Cohesity Data Cloud's console, options, and web console are superior to AWS. The pricing of Cohesity Data Cloud depends on the data volume and retention period. Compared to alternatives, Cohesity Data Cloud is somewhat expensive. Regarding technical aspects, connection issues need to be addressed promptly. I would rate it eight out of ten, as these issues require immediate resolution to meet client requirements. Overall review rating: 9/10.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the most important feature to be data protection."
"My favorite feature of Cohesity Data Cloud is the setup, as it is very fast compared to other solutions; I have worked in different clouds, and Cohesity Data Cloud stands out as superior."
"I definitely recommend this tool to others due to its simplicity, security, features, and flexibility."
"My favorite feature of Cohesity Data Cloud is the setup, as it is very fast compared to other solutions; I have worked in different clouds, and Cohesity Data Cloud stands out as superior."
"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"It has excellent integration for virtualization, which means we can easily protect VMs, virtual machines, which consists mainly of snapshot backups that are quite easy to recover."
"Cohesity Data Cloud is user-friendly, and anyone can use this tool; the support is really good, especially the web support, and the dashboard and everything are good."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The data lineage is great."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
 

Cons

"The primary drawback is the need to transfer large amounts of data to the cloud via an internet connection, requiring significant bandwidth."
"One of the worst situations occurred when the sizing team did not get the correct subscription, usage, and capacity from Cohesity."
"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
"Sometimes the support team does not provide proper assistance during critical issues from the cloud end."
"In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
