Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.
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 time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"The dashboard is very easy to use."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"Cohesity DataProtect needs to improve its reporting capabilities."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"We would like it to have more capabilities for different kinds of PaaS or SaaS services in the Azure cloud, such as Azure SQL or Azure Cosmos DB."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"The tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected. One feature that would greatly improve our experience with the product is the ability to identify data redundancies through a central console. This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Sizing is important and it is easy to overestimate."
"Cohesity came in at the best price."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"There is monthly licensing."
