Featured Reviews

Kalaiarasan Meganathan - PeerSpot reviewer
Specialist at HCLSoftware
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.
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
Channel Sales Manager at Arrow Electronics
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The elastic search function is unbelievable."
"Integration with AWS has been invaluable to us."
"There are many features that make Cohesity stand out."
"The customer service and support are fast and professional."
"Our business thrives on Cohesity storage."
"Some of the most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect for me include instant mass restore, anomaly detection, and its ability to handle large data volumes effectively."
"The backup and restore solution is a big step forward from our last solution and packs more than just backup in a box, allowing for additional features such as Disaster Recovery and utilising the space available in the cluster for storing files."
"No longer does it take several hours to backup a VM or troubleshoot a backup issue."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is useful for those who run an infrastructure where there might arise a need to do some transition or want to opt for digital transformation."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Nutanix, in my opinion, will eventually take over."
"Our primary use case for the solution is to back up our devices and equipment for employees and some equipment in airport software."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
 

Cons

"Features I would like to see include a more visible data lifecycle monitoring tab, and an easier to read backup status dashboard."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"The container functionality is very limited at the moment, not covering the whole container."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
"Reducing storage capacity requirements and improving security features are also areas that could be enhanced."
"We found scaling Cohesity to be very challenging."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"Non-cloud services need improvement."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It could be cheaper."
"The pricing could be improved. It's an expensive solution."
"The solution could be cheaper and they should include more education or marketing materials for users to understand how to use the solution."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"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."
"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"There is monthly licensing."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
