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.
JEREMY LASSALLE - PeerSpot reviewer
A strong and scalable solution that provides excellent technical support
The contact was good, but the intervention was not scheduled properly. We had some scheduling problems. However, the support team was great. There was a technical issue, and we had to wait for one week. So, a phase was down for a week. The technical component took a long time to reach us.
