Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
---|---|---|
Evangelist / CTO at fgnext | 5.0 | We primarily compare Cohesity DataProtect with Veeam and Rubrik as it simplifies backup management through a converged solution, despite lacking support for some older systems. Its ease of management and efficiency offer a favorable return on investment. |
Hybrid IT Architect at Quanture Spa | 4.5 | We use Cohesity DataProtect and related services for data protection and management, finding it user-friendly and scalable. However, reporting features need improvement for better insights, as competitors offer more customizable options. Customers appreciate its governance and utility as a file service. |
Senior Engineer at American Express | 3.5 | I work in banking and use Cohesity DataProtect to back up applications on virtual machines. It's user-friendly with a simple interface but slow in file restoration. Despite its space inefficiency, it's more accessible and cost-effective than Commvault and Rubrik. |
Sr. IT Manager at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | We use Cohesity DataProtect primarily for backup due to its speed, ease of use, and accurate backup and restore features. However, we believe its reporting capabilities need improvement. We switched from Commvault because Cohesity offered a more user-friendly experience. |
Service Delivery Manager Cloud and DCO at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I chose Cohesity DataProtect for its exceptional ransomware protection and fast recovery capabilities, transitioning from Dell EMC. The central management console provides excellent visibility, though improvements in AI features and redundancy management would enhance its effectiveness further. |
Global Core Infrastructure Engineer at Finning International Inc | 4.0 | We primarily use Cohesity DataProtect for backup due to its ease of deployment and operation. However, searching for backups requires full names instead of abbreviations, and customization could be improved. We haven't considered other solutions or cloud providers. |
Product Manager at Iomart | 4.0 | We use Cohesity DataProtect for data corruption exaltation, valuing its software immutability, deployment options, and strong security features like zero trust access. However, improvement is needed in on-premises multi-tenant services. |
Manager, Storage, Backup & Database Domain at Quilter | 4.5 | We rely on Cohesity DataProtect for our on-premises backups, valuing its exceptional SQL cloning, Instant Mount restoration, and strong security features. However, I wish it provided alerts for changes to local accounts to enhance security. |
