| 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. |
| Specialist at HCLSoftware | 4.0 | I've used Cohesity DataProtect for three years, valuing its fast deduplication, reliable restores, and intuitive dashboard, though the interface could be improved. It's stable and scalable, with minor support issues, and handles our on-premises backups efficiently. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
