Backup operations have become faster and daily recoveries run smoothly for on‑prem workloads
When compared to other tools, the deduplication in Cohesity DataProtect is very fast, and the restore performance is better than other tools. Global deduplication ensures that only unique data blocks are stored, significantly reducing storage consumption. Cohesity DataProtect's dashboard displays options and errors clearly, making it easy to access and understand how to fix issues. Cohesity DataProtect's ability to start processes automatically without manual selections enhances its reliability. Cohesity DataProtect's architecture ensures that agent installations automatically reflect in the dashboard, allowing for seamless integration into backup jobs. This improves operational efficiency, ensuring backups can be triggered without manual refreshes. Additionally, the user interface is intuitive, and the respect of the N-1 rule during updates helps prevent client-affecting issues.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Flexibility really means a lot for us. Being able to address almost every client backup and recovery requirement means that we have a tremendous amount of confidence as do our partners that Blueshift is going to be able to deploy a solution quickly and efficiently."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."
"Asigra’s multi-tenancy feature is most valuable as it allows the company to on-sell a private cloud backup and recovery solution to existing customers."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"We were able to eliminate tape backups by utilizing Cohesity to backup our VMs, replicate the backup data to a second offsite Cohesity cluster, and replace our older legacy NAS devices, which greatly simplified our environment and provided a substantial increase in speed."
"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 flexibility is the most valuable; being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"The implementation and training are all done through the sales engineer, which provides for a seamless and great experience when it comes to starting with a new vendor."
"The stability has been good; there aren't bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it quite reliable."
"The implementation and training are all done through the sales engineer, which provides for a seamless and great experience when it comes to starting with a new vendor."
"Cohesity is powerful and simple!"
"The solution is simple to use."
"We were looking for a solution for a long time to replicate a very old database running on a VM, and finally, using this product, we are able to do it."
"The solution offers a strong performance, higher than Acronis, and has a high level of compatibility with the majority of applications such as Nutanix and others."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
"Veeam is very user friendly and you don't need to have certifications to work on it."
"It is a cheap solution with the ability to backup for our needs."
"The solution is stable and absolutely reliable, and it's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"We have found this has helped improve data backup and recovery for customers, with predictable and scalable performance."
 

Cons

"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"The tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected. One feature that would greatly improve our experience with the product is the ability to identify data redundancies through a central console. This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data."
"Many of the reports are basic, at most, and at times we had to open a support ticket to help find or develop a report for our needs."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"We found scaling Cohesity to be very challenging."
"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"Overall, I'm not happy with the pricing. The price could be improved. Every year, most vendors try to increase the price. It says it's being upgraded, but there's no improvement. The product stays the same, but the licensing costs are increasing."
"Veeam doesn't have the reporting part quite right. Its data visualization isn't as slick as other solutions like Veritas."
"We experienced a couple of issues where the Veeam ONE server went down because the SQL database grew too much, and we had to recreate it a couple of times."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"Offering mobile apps that give engineers a global view of his backup regime would be a "nice to have" feature."
 

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."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"From my last assessment, the pricing for Cohesity DataProtect was reasonable. Compared to its closest competitor, Rubrik, I found Rubrik's pricing to be somewhat high-end. While Rubrik may have more advanced security features than Cohesity DataProtect currently, Cohesity DataProtect is releasing a new solution in the near future that will compete directly with Rubrik."
"There is monthly licensing."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"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."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"Cohesity came in at the best price."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"The solution is expensive, but it's value for money."
"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."
"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."
"Several licensing schemes are available."
"Veeam ONE is moderately priced, where it is neither expensive nor cheap."
