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.

A stable and economical solution that provides quick disaster recovery

The most valuable feature of Quorum OnQ is quick recovery. We call it a single-click recovery. If any server goes down, crashes, or experiences downtime, we can bring up the DR (Disaster Recovery) server in just two minutes. We also have a "Single Pane of Glass," wherein we work with only a single window. You don't have to use multiple windows to perform basic tasks like failover or failback.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A robust, verifiable backup with a restore solution, which decreases our backup and has a restore window."

"The solution is stable."

"The support is awesome. They are very fast, competent and friendly."

"The system automatically takes down the nodes one at a time and performs the upgrade and brings the node back up before proceeding to the next. Upgrades can now be done at any time with a high level of confidence."

"The solution is stable, with regular updates and patching."

"The most valuable features are the rapid VM restores and the ability to quickly find files and download them directly to my desktop so that I can put them where I need them to be."

"Several features enable us to perform fast recovery, such as instant fast recovery. All our virtual machines protected with the product can be quickly restored to another healthy environment with minimal downtime for our main customers. These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives."

"It makes our administrators' lives much easier to combine backup, archiving, and services like hosting file shares in one central system with only one user interface."

More Cohesity DataProtect pros

"From a disaster-recovery point of view, one of the things I really like is that I can test the virtual copy of the physical server on a test network and compare the servers side-by-side, without interfering with the production network. So I can see and make sure that the latest copy of the server is the physical copy of the server, without interfering with production."

"One of the biggest features is that, even on the absolutely run-of-the-mill box, if I lose any one of my servers I can automatically bring it up virtually on the physical onQ Quorum device."

"A very high level security environment for secondary data."

"The biggest feature is being able to do a file recovery to the original server. That is extremely useful and has saved us a few times when we've had ransomware. In some of those cases, people's computers were locked down by viruses which spread to things they had access to, including server shares. But we were easily able to just restore to four hours prior, instead of a day or two or more ago."

"The change in the way that Quorum processes data has made a tremendous improvement in backup and replication times. While the familiar interface remains, the underpinnings have been finely tuned and the speed is incredible. My large Exchange Server went from 5- to 6-hour backups down to 22 minutes."

"The solution is very cost effective."

"I like this product because it is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is spinning up a ready-to-go VM in a test or production environment that is based on a backup stored on the Quorum device."

More Quorum OnQ pros

Cons

"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."

"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."

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

"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."

"I would like to see Cohesity have the ability to do a file level restore from a Windows server, which is storing data on dynamic disk."

"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."

"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."

"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."

More Cohesity DataProtect cons

"The user interface needs to be improved."

"I paid for subscription of Firewall. I paid for subscription of endpoint protection. Thet should introduce single subscription for all services."

"One thing that could be done to improve it would be a single pane of glass for doing disaster recovery testing, where I could have remote consoles in one place... I still have to go to each location in a browser and then bring up the console. I'd like to see them integrate that into a single pane of glass so I don't have to go to each server."

"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."

"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two. The technicians they have are great. They are fantastic, but it seems difficult, at times, to get in contact with anyone."

"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."

"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."

"Better integration with cloud-based solutions like Azure and Office 365 is needed."

More Quorum OnQ cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is monthly licensing."

"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."

"If SQL is in heavy use at your location, I would highly recommend narrowing your PoC testing to Cohesity and Rubrik. They will be competitive on pricing with each other, so really put them through the paces."

"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."

"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."

"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."

"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."

"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."

More Cohesity DataProtect pricing and cost advice

"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."

"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."

"Quorum OnQ can be described as a medium-priced product...There are no ingress and egress charges in the product."

"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."

"The cost is higher than other software and services, but it is an absolute must-have."

"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."

"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."

"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
