On the whole, any problems were more related to hardware limitations rather than issues with Cohesity DataProtect itself.
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

Cohesity DataProtect needs improvements in recovery, UI, integration, documentation, application support, pricing, security, and update processes.
HPE StoreOnce needs better deduplication, integration, and security alongside improved performance, user interface, support, and cost efficiency.
Veeam Data Platform faces integration and support challenges, high costs, and complex setup, impacting functionality and user satisfaction.
While there are improvements to be made, such as providing support for older systems like IBM iSeries and tandem systems from HP, the solution overall shifts from older methods to modern practices.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.
While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
 

Setup Cost

Cohesity DataProtect provides competitive pricing with bundled services, offering cost-effectiveness despite potentially higher list prices.
HPE StoreOnce pricing is competitive but seen as high with mixed satisfaction, influencing its perceived value against competitors.
Veeam Data Platform offers competitive pricing with predictable CPU socket-based licensing, though additional features can increase costs.
The solution is quite expensive, possibly rated around seven and a half on a scale of one to ten.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
From what I know, it is expensive to add modules, with a scale rating of eight out of ten.
 

Valuable Features

Cohesity DataProtect excels in fast recovery, seamless integration, easy setup, and offers strong data management and ransomware protection.
HPE StoreOnce excels in deduplication, improving storage efficiency, backup speeds, and integration, offering flexible, cost-effective data management.
Veeam Data Platform is praised for ease of use, scalability, cloud integration, and effective backup and recovery solutions.
The platform is based on a scale-out architecture with each node having compute, RAM, SSD, and HDD.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with.

Featured Reviews

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.
