Technical Architect at Wipro Limited

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

"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."

"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."

"I rate the Cohesity Data Cloud solution a ten out of ten. It's an easy-to-use product that provides substantial value and security."

"It is easy to install and use."

"I find the most important feature to be data protection."

"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."

"The clone feature is very nice. You can restore workloads onto Cohesity's storage, which is also nice to have when you don't have enough space to restore on the server."

"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."

More Cohesity Data Cloud pros

"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."

Cons

"The primary drawback is the need to transfer large amounts of data to the cloud via an internet connection, requiring significant bandwidth."

"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 initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."

"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."

"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."

"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."

"In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups."

"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."

More Cohesity Data Cloud cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's priced properly for the market."

"Competing products sometimes use deceptive marketing to make their products seem a lot cheaper. Comparing apples-to-apples, DataPlatform wins out."

"Regarding pricing, it's very costly and I rate it a four."
