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

"The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"We can run test scripts on production data."
"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
"My advice to anyone considering Cohesity DataProtect is to try it out because the performance seems to exceed the competitors in the market."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"It's completely reliable and easy to restore."
"With instant DR failover using SiteContinuity, we are able to keep our files available no matter the situation."
"The solution boasts good retention, as it is global in a single platform and, since they have their own appliance, it is scalable as well."
 

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."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"Technical support being outsourced is a downside but not different from every one of Cohesity's competitors."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"The container functionality is very limited at the moment, not covering the whole container."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"The GUI is in need of improvement."
"Cohesity DataProtect needs to improve its reporting capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is monthly licensing."
"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."
"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."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"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."
