Plenty of useful feature and reliable
We use Asigra for backups I have found all the features useful in the solution. I have been using Asigra for approximately two months. The solution is stable. The six people in our IT department are using the solution. The initial setup was a medium difficulty level. Some parts were complex…

Easy to use, offers good scalability and responsive support
The deployment depends on the environment. Deploying on VMs is relatively simple. But for most of our customers, we implement physical clusters with at least three configured hosts using the existing model. So, it depends on the setup. Implementing DataProtect itself wasn't particularly challenging. One key requirement for successful DataProtect deployment is proper network configuration. If the network setup isn't right, you won't achieve optimal performance. We have developed a service for some of our customers where they implement an appliance or physical cluster of Cohesity at the customer site. Then, we use cloud clustering to replicate, and even in production, a second copy of the protected data. And in some cases, we have developed some disaster recovery procedures using Cohesity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has been very stable."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The most valuable features are the rapid VM restores and the ability to quickly find files and download them directly to my desktop so that I can put them where I need them to be."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Several features enable us to perform fast recovery, such as instant fast recovery. All our virtual machines protected with the product can be quickly restored to another healthy environment with minimal downtime for our main customers. These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives."
"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"The dashboard is very easy to use."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"Cohesity DataProtect needs to improve its reporting capabilities."
"There is room for improvement in terms of price."
"Initial setup can be complex if you need to change IP addresses. Hopefully, they improve that in a future release."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"Sizing is important and it is easy to overestimate."
"The ROI is huge. Not really measurable at this point, but the price of the unit was a fraction of what a couple hours of downtime could result in."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
