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.
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 product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"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."
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer."
"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"The four independent node cluster architecture is redundant. It maintains data integrity and load balancing."
"Instead of four different solutions for protecting VMs, physical servers, SQL, and NAS, we now have one solution with Cohesity that is lightning fast and has amazing features."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"It offers an easy, quick backup and restore of files and VMs. Also, the "Google-like " search for files is awesome."
"The most valuable aspect for me is that I don't have to deal with media in terms of tapes like our existing system does."
 

Cons

"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"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."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"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."
"It would be great to add SQL ​Object Level restore, so user objects, tables, etc. can be restored without having to restore the entire DB."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"The error handling could be improved."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"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 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."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
