Has provided strong data protection and unified access while streamlining backup operations
Cohesity Data Cloud is not unique in this area. There are a couple of other vendors who are playing in the same area. They provide some sort of isolation for the protected data that makes it very difficult, almost impossible to tamper with once it is stored on the platform. One of the major issues of ransomware attacks is that they happen in the background and it is too late after being hit. Giving a hard time for bad actors to access the data provides more immunity for your data from ransomware attacks. All organizations are very interested in as-a-service model where they do not pay upfront costs, but only get the services and pay for what they use. Converting from CapEx to OpEx is the ultimate goal for any financial manager in any organization. The model uses some sort of object storage for the backup data and contents, which gives a better level of safety than the traditional file system because normally the object storage is not subject to alteration. The only concern I have with cloud implementation is that if you have a presence on-premises, trying to use the cloud may become a performance challenge. It is a perfect situation for workloads that live in the cloud. The way I design things is we should not send data across the WAN to the cloud if it is a large volume that could potentially affect performance. A cloud solution is ideal for a cloud workload from Cohesity Data Cloud perspective. It is best to have some sort of local presence of a repository to do the backup using LAN performance. Then we can always send or upload the data to the cloud without impacting the actual backup window. Support for additional platforms and the option to do multi-tier performance would be beneficial. For example, if I have three types of workloads - SAP database, Oracle database, and SQL database - each with different backup window requirements, the ability to tier performance to meet these specific needs would be perfect for the actual workload and meeting the availability requirements of each application domain. The general perception is if it is not broken, do not fix it. In most cases, organizations do not see value for security until they are hit with something bad. With ever-increasing threats and risks of ransomware and data theft, the problem is becoming more obvious. Looking at what is happening in the market and seeing organizations being hit by security threats, the level of loss of services and client dissatisfaction makes security investment worthwhile. There is no real tangible ROI for security, but considering the potential of losing data forever or having it exposed unnecessarily to the market, it is worth the investment. The bad actors and risks are always reinventing themselves, so we must reinvent our security posture.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"Cohesity DataProtect is a great product and has reduced my backup window and jobs significantly."
"Its big data and archive data features are the features that I have found most valuable, and I can use it in a big virtual environment."
"My favorite feature of Cohesity Data Cloud is the setup, as it is very fast compared to other solutions; I have worked in different clouds, and Cohesity Data Cloud stands out as superior."
"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."
"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."
"Cohesity Data Cloud is user-friendly, and anyone can use this tool; the support is really good, especially the web support, and the dashboard and everything are good."
"One of the most outstanding features is forever incremental, which provides immutable backups."
 

Cons

"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"They should have 24/7 support for customers in different time zones. They are slow to respond to requests, and I get the impression that the ServiceDesk is overloaded."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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."
"The downside of Cohesity Data Cloud is that it is not supporting a legacy environment."
"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."
"Sometimes the support team does not provide proper assistance during critical issues from the cloud end."
"The primary drawback is the need to transfer large amounts of data to the cloud via an internet connection, requiring significant bandwidth."
"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
 

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."
"Regarding pricing, it's very costly and I rate it a four."
"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."
