Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The four independent node cluster architecture is redundant. It maintains data integrity and load balancing."
"Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"Cohesity DataProtect is a reliable solution for performing backups within a suitable timeframe, and its forever incremental model is particularly effective for the customer's needs. Additionally, the solution handles instant recovery and file-level recovery from a VMware image backup seamlessly."
"With the ability to stage an entire lifecycle through versioning, integrated with AWS, it has made it possible to protect our corporation from end to end."
"Cohesity customer service is the best that I have ever used. They are extremely fast in responding to cases, fixed all issues, and answered every question in a very timely manner."
"We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions. We are very satisfied with those, and the product is very simple to use."
"The scalability is very good."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very easy to implement."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"Cohesity cluster upgrades have not been as easy as a single button click. They are a manual process that requires upgrading each node into a cluster individually."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"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 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."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"Features I would like to see include a more visible data lifecycle monitoring tab, and an easier to read backup status dashboard."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"Agnostic backups."
"The product's price could be better."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
