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.
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Backups are quick and painless to set up.​"
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"The dashboard is very easy to use."
"I have found that the speed of restores, especially files and folders, are extremely fast. This bodes well for us, and our end users are always amazed at how fast you can get them their files."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"The solution is stable."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
 

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."
"I think Cohesity could add more platform support. For example, they could improve integration with DB2 or make the integration S3 object storage a little tighter. Some of that stuff could use some work, but overall, it's a relatively comprehensive platform."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"We would like it to have more capabilities for different kinds of PaaS or SaaS services in the Azure cloud, such as Azure SQL or Azure Cosmos DB."
"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."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"It could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing, setup costs, etc. are pretty typical. The initial cost for Cohesity was less than other products the we evaluated. Cohesity's pricing does offer benefits as DR target costs are less than other solutions. You are not charged for DataProtect licensing for target DR data consumption."
"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"From my last assessment, the pricing for Cohesity DataProtect was reasonable. Compared to its closest competitor, Rubrik, I found Rubrik's pricing to be somewhat high-end. While Rubrik may have more advanced security features than Cohesity DataProtect currently, Cohesity DataProtect is releasing a new solution in the near future that will compete directly with Rubrik."
"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."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"The pricing model is impressive and very effective."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
