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.

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

"It has a lightning fast restore."
"We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions. We are very satisfied with those, and the product is very simple to use."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."
"The system automatically takes down the nodes one at a time and performs the upgrade and brings the node back up before proceeding to the next. Upgrades can now be done at any time with a high level of confidence."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"The most valuable features are the rapid VM restores and the ability to quickly find files and download them directly to my desktop so that I can put them where I need them to be."
"Cohesity has simplified backups and has cut our costs tremendously."
"The solution is stable."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
 

Cons

"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"For the support, I can provide a rating of four only because they initially provide some steps, but later say they are not sure, which is a problem in a production environment."
"Reducing storage capacity requirements and improving security features are also areas that could be enhanced."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"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."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"It could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"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."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"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."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
