Offers improved data protection and security with indirect ROI
The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions. Currently, Cohesity Cloud seems very costly compared to native backups. Although this is an emerging tool and there is room for growth, it needs to mature further. There is an AI feature, however, it is still in the development phase and requires substantial improvements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"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."
"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."
"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."
"I rate the Cohesity Data Cloud solution a ten out of ten. It's an easy-to-use product that provides substantial value and security."
"I find the most important feature to be data protection."
"It is easy to install and use."
"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
"The primary drawback is the need to transfer large amounts of data to the cloud via an internet connection, requiring significant bandwidth."
"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 pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"It's priced properly for the market."
"Competing products sometimes use deceptive marketing to make their products seem a lot cheaper. Comparing apples-to-apples, DataPlatform wins out."
"Regarding pricing, it's very costly and I rate it a four."
