Featured Reviews

Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.
AmarpreetSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers improved data protection and security with indirect ROI
The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions. Currently, Cohesity Cloud seems very costly compared to native backups. Although this is an emerging tool and there is room for growth, it needs to mature further. There is an AI feature, however, it is still in the development phase and requires substantial improvements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"I definitely recommend this tool to others due to its simplicity, security, features, and flexibility."
"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"Its big data and archive data features are the features that I have found most valuable. I can use it in a big virtual environment."
"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 is easy to install and use."
"I find the most important feature to be data protection."
 

Cons

"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
"The primary drawback is the need to transfer large amounts of data to the cloud via an internet connection, requiring significant bandwidth."
"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."
"It has never been touted as a tier-one storage platform, and that would be a benefit. They are currently working on solving that issue."
"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."
"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
