Find out what your peers are saying about N-able, MSP360, Vembu Technologies and others in MSP Backup."Granular restoration is extremely useful in Altaro VM Backup for MSPs since it is something that we make use of the most in our company."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
"The product is easy to put in place. All backups are done very quickly. It's easy to perform restores. What I prefer in the product is its simplicity. There are no useless settings to define, and everything is ready after the initial setup."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"Cohesity DataProtect is a reliable solution for performing backups within a suitable timeframe, and its forever incremental model is particularly effective for the customer's needs. Additionally, the solution handles instant recovery and file-level recovery from a VMware image backup seamlessly."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."
"It's stable."
"A technical person who hasn't received any dedicated training or hasn't gone through the documentation part of the solution may find the product to be a little non-intuitive at times."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
