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.
Giovanni Golinelli. - PeerSpot reviewer
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."
"Cohesity has very simple reports to help you stay in the know of which servers are being backed up or not."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"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."
"This solution is easy to manage."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easily manageable, and you can see every option from the user interface."
"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
 

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."
"It would be great to add SQL ​Object Level restore, so user objects, tables, etc. can be restored without having to restore the entire DB."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"Reducing storage capacity requirements and improving security features are also areas that could be enhanced."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume."
"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"Sizing is important and it is easy to overestimate."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"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."
"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
