Comparing Acronis Cyber Protect and Cohesity DataProtect reveals distinct differences in features, areas for improvement, ease of deployment, customer service, pricing, and ROI. Cohesity DataProtect stands out for its feature set and user satisfaction regarding pricing and service.
Features: Users value Acronis Cyber Protect for its integrated cybersecurity, seamless recovery options, and reliability. Cohesity DataProtect users value its efficient data deduplication, scalability, and effective disaster recovery.
Room for Improvement: Acronis Cyber Protect needs better customer support and improvements to performance during large recoveries. Cohesity DataProtect requires enhancements in its initial setup process and more transparent documentation.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Acronis Cyber Protect is noted for a straightforward deployment but lacks in customer service responsiveness. Cohesity DataProtect's deployment can be complex, but effective support and consistent updates benefit it once established.
Pricing and ROI: Acronis Cyber Protect is generally seen as affordable but with variable ROI depending on the scale. Cohesity DataProtect has a higher initial cost yet offers significant long-term ROI due to its efficiency and scalability.
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.
Whenever I have a question, they respond very quickly each time.
The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks.
The support can depend on the region, and for larger customers, I advise having a Technical Account Manager for better assistance.
Acronis Cyber Protect is a scalable product.
Cohesity DataProtect is built on a scale-out architecture, which means it can effectively scale to meet various needs.
The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
On the whole, any problems were more related to hardware limitations rather than issues with Cohesity DataProtect itself.
The Protect environment should automatically secure the last backup screens to prevent any changes, even by an admin.
Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
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.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
I find Cohesity DataProtect to be expensive.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
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.
What is Cohesity DataProtect?
Cohesity DataProtect is a top-level, sophisticated, software-defined backup and recovery solution created for cloud environments. Cohesity DataProtect is made to hyperscale and is one the most thorough policy-based protection solutions available on the market today.
Cohesity DataProtect melds multiple-point products into a single software that is able to be deployed as on-premise or consumed as a service.
Top Features:
Hyperscale made easy: Cohesity DataProtect improves data protection by doing away with the need for backup silos and administers backup and recovery with a single user-friendly, easy-to-understand interface. Cohesity DataProtect provides extensive 24/7 enterprise-class protection for a large, varying set of sources, including virtual and physical servers, NAS and SaaS workloads, relational and distributed databases, and traditional and containerized applications.
Super fast recovery: Cohesity DataProtect offers near-zero recovery point objectives (RPOs) and near-instant recovery time objectives (RTOs) to satisfy your business service-level agreements (SLAs). Using Cohesity Helios’ unified data plane and control plane you can immediately search and recover data on any Cohesity cluster, located anywhere. DataProtect distinctively minimizes downtime by immediately mass restoring any amount of virtual machines (VMs) to any point in time, and lowers data protection costs by as much as 70% or more.
Backup as a Service: Feel free to take advantage of the elasticity of the public cloud and the cost-effective value of Cohesity DataProtect when delivered as a service. When you choose an OPEX option, you can eliminate the need for on-premises hardware. There is a SaaS option that will allow you to very simply configure your backup workloads and immediately begin protecting your vital all-important data and applications.
It’s as easy as: sign-up, connect, and protect!
Ransomware protection: Cohesity DataProtect offers stellar recovery at scale. The solution is so intuitive, it has machine learning-based anomaly detection to stop incidents before they happen. Cohesity DataProtection can provide immutable backups, Datalock write once, read many (WORM), encryption, and role-based access control (RBAC).
Cohesity DataProtect integrates well with many of today’s top solutions, including, but not limited to:
