Cohesity DataProtect Reviews

We needed a more powerful solution for ransomware and anomaly detection. We enforced it with strong technology, and our needs are based on such functionality.

It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using.

We have two big clusters for 16 nodes for each one, and we are trying to develop the IPAM technology for a new cluster on a vault site where we can store a third copy of our data.

The software can improve upon reports because, nowadays, reports are easy to understand. We have a set of reports on Cohesity, but we wish to use them on-premises. We want a feature with a set of reports embedded with the software.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We have been using the solution since 2020, it has been three years now.

It is a stable solution. However, we had some hardware trouble because when nodes get broken, or the disc is not good, it becomes a problem for us.

It is a scalable solution. 

There are 10-15 users in the web user console, and the workload is about 1,000 databases and 1,000 digital machines. We use a yearly subscription model.

The workload is covered optimally. I don’t think we are going to increase the usage.

The tech support team is good. We only have international support, so the timetable is not easy for us, and we have to wait for the response from the support team.

The initial setup is not complex. It takes several months to install from zero because we have to define the logistical points to find space through all the network interfaces and technologies available, and it took us around four to five months.

Our deployment method was on-premises.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

We are using Cohesity DataProtect for ensuring the safety of our entire system by creating backups. This includes backing up our virtual VMware environment, as well as some standalone servers that we use.

Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy.

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 have used Cohesity DataProtect within the past 12 months.

The solution has been stable overall. There has been some issue with updates causing issues but they are resolved quickly.

The solution is scalable, but it requires purchasing of hardware.

I rate the scalability of Cohesity DataProtect a seven out of ten.

I did not use the support from the vendor.

The initial setup required some assistance to complete. However, it was not a long drawn-out process.

I rate the initial setup of Cohesity DataProtect a seven out of ten.

We have one systems engineer for the maintenance of the solution.

It's important to obtain an accurate count of the number and size of servers that require backup. By gaining insight into potential future growth, you can correctly size your environment and prepare for the upcoming expansion. This way, you can avoid the need for additional investments in the future.

I rate Cohesity DataProtect an eight out of ten.

We are using Cohesity DataProtect for all our platforms, including the VMware platform and the site server. 

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.

DataProtect's recovery time is too high. It takes a long time to recover things from the cloud. I'd also like them to increase the capacity of the file server. 

DataProtect is very stable. We haven't seen any great problems with the platform.

DataProtect is totally scalable. 

We've contacted Cohesity support at times. It's good.

We were using Symantec. It was so expensive to add new hardware. We have more capacity on Cohesity than with the Symantec appliance.

Setting up DataProtect was very easy. With two people, we could deploy it in a couple of weeks. 

We had help from a consultant to deploy DataProtect.

We evaluated Rubrik. Cohesity is less expensive, and I think it gives us more capacity.

I rate Cohesity DataProtect 10 out of 10. I would advise new users to be careful with traffic from the cloud. If you don't manage your traffic, it might spike one month, and you end up paying a lot. 

We use the product as a primary backup. 

Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate. 

You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization. 

I have been using the product for more than a year. 

Cohesity DataProtect is very stable. 

The product is scalable. My company has eight users. 

The tool's deployment is easy. The deployment takes around 30 minutes to complete. 

Cohesity DataProtect supported us during the deployment. 

The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions. 

I rate Cohesity DataProtect an eight out of ten.
