Easy to setup, reasonably priced, and the portal works well
We are using this solution to backup Microsoft 365 data, including SharePoint, Exchange, and Teams They have just implemented a Backup and Restore portal that we think is very good. I would like to see a better method of backing up Exchange in the cloud. We have been using this solution for six…
Giovanni Golinelli. - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use, offers good scalability and responsive support
The deployment depends on the environment. Deploying on VMs is relatively simple. But for most of our customers, we implement physical clusters with at least three configured hosts using the existing model. So, it depends on the setup. Implementing DataProtect itself wasn't particularly challenging. One key requirement for successful DataProtect deployment is proper network configuration. If the network setup isn't right, you won't achieve optimal performance. We have developed a service for some of our customers where they implement an appliance or physical cluster of Cohesity at the customer site. Then, we use cloud clustering to replicate, and even in production, a second copy of the protected data. And in some cases, we have developed some disaster recovery procedures using Cohesity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The service itself wasn't bad."
"They have just implemented a Backup and Restore portal that we think is very good."
"iland is excellent as far as the interface."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The initial setup is easy."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"I found value in the instant recovery with DataMove. I found value in the protection group model for applying policies to VMs. And in the overall UI navigation and the way that the application is laid out in the web browser."
 

Cons

"The vendor needs to changes billing to work like every other business and stop charging people if they stop using your service."
"I would like to see a better method of backing up Exchange in the cloud."
"They don't support a more current version of VMware."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs are approximately $12,000 annually."
"iland is affordable."
"Billing practices for iLand are monthly. If you are a business and would like a yearly rate, good luck."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"There is monthly licensing."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and 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."
