Cohesity DataProtect and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud compete in the backup and data protection category. Acronis appears to have the upper hand with its comprehensive security features and advanced ransomware protection.
Features: Cohesity DataProtect offers rapid backup and restore capabilities, fast VM recovery, and flexible integration with various systems. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud includes comprehensive backup and security features, advanced ransomware protection, and cloud data security.
Room for Improvement: Cohesity DataProtect could improve bare metal recovery, support for legacy systems, and application integration. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs better online backup speed, more detailed error logs, and clearer pricing.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Cohesity DataProtect is preferred for efficient on-premises and cloud deployment with strong customer support. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is versatile for public cloud and has easy cloud deployment, although response times can be a concern.
Pricing and ROI: Cohesity DataProtect offers competitive pricing with straightforward models and reports significant ROI. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud uses a pay-as-you-go model, offering extensive features despite higher prices in some regions. Both solutions deliver strong ROI in disaster recovery goals.
Using Cohesity DataProtect is easier to manage, and it simplifies various components into one architecture, reducing the need for extensive human resources to manage backups.
Their expertise and consulting are very good, especially for Indian business.
The support can depend on the region, and for larger customers, I advise having a Technical Account Manager for better assistance.
Cohesity DataProtect is built on a scale-out architecture, which means it can effectively scale to meet various needs.
On the whole, any problems were more related to hardware limitations rather than issues with Cohesity DataProtect itself.
I would like to see more mature XDR and EDR features.
While there are improvements to be made, such as providing support for older systems like IBM iSeries and tandem systems from HP, the solution overall shifts from older methods to modern practices.
In India, the pricing of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is relatively low compared to other competitors.
I find Cohesity DataProtect to be expensive.
AI functionality enhances malware and threat detection by summarizing vulnerabilities, providing engineers with a direct idea about what needs to be covered.
The platform is based on a scale-out architecture with each node having compute, RAM, SSD, and HDD.
Some of the most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect for me include instant mass restore, anomaly detection, and its ability to handle large data volumes effectively.
