Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

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 time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"We are looking forward to the next release, so we can take advantage of the AHV backup for our Nutanix environment."
"It has a lightning fast restore."
"Cohesity customer service is the best that I have ever used. They are extremely fast in responding to cases, fixed all issues, and answered every question in a very timely manner."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"No longer does it take several hours to backup a VM or troubleshoot a backup issue."
"The support is awesome. They are very fast, competent and friendly."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"Cohesity cluster upgrades have not been as easy as a single button click. They are a manual process that requires upgrading each node into a cluster individually."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"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."
"What areas have room for improvement? Is there anything that could be simplified to make it better?"
"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"Physical RDMs on virtual machines could be a bit easier to configure and plan out."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing model is impressive and very effective."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"If SQL is in heavy use at your location, I would highly recommend narrowing your PoC testing to Cohesity and Rubrik. They will be competitive on pricing with each other, so really put them through the paces."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"Pricing, setup costs, etc. are pretty typical. The initial cost for Cohesity was less than other products the we evaluated. Cohesity's pricing does offer benefits as DR target costs are less than other solutions. You are not charged for DataProtect licensing for target DR data consumption."
