Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The clone feature is very nice. You can restore workloads onto Cohesity's storage, which is also nice to have when you don't have enough space to restore on the server."
"It is easy to install and use."
"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."
"Its big data and archive data features are the features that I have found most valuable. I can use it in a big virtual environment."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"We would always support better pricing."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"It has never been touted as a tier-one storage platform, and that would be a benefit. They are currently working on solving that issue."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."
