IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"Considering the organization wouldn’t exist any longer without Cohesity, I would say it was worth it."
"With Cohesity, you have a template that helps you to backup and restore the right thing to the right place."
"Cohesity DataProtect has reduced my operational complexity and management overhead by consolidating infrastructure requirements."
"Cohesity DataProtect is a converged solution that simplifies backup and allows use of the backed-up data."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"We have quick, reliable, verifiable backups that replicate off-site, the system is easy to administer and troubleshoot, and support is quick to respond and helpful."
"Compared to the products that we had earlier, Cohesity replaced our primary backup solution, runs VMs, and hosts all our backup mount points in our environment at a fraction of the cost."
 

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."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"The support from Cohesity is good, but it is not as exceptional as Nutanix."
"The marketplace app stability is still an issue at times."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"The pricing model is impressive and very effective."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"It has reasonable pricing, and we know they can give discounts. If you look at the primary pricing or the list pricing, it conforms to the market pricing, but you have to have a discount on it. Otherwise, it is way too expensive."
"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."
