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."
"The tool is faster and easier to use than others. The most critical feature for our data protection needs is the accuracy of backups and restores."
"With instant DR failover using SiteContinuity, we are able to keep our files available no matter the situation."
"It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"Cohesity has made the pain of doing restores disappear with the ability to open recovery and select files and folders, then have the ability to type in the file or document name and have it show up."
"Cohesity is powerful and simple!"
"We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions, and the product is very simple to use."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up.​"
"Cohesity DataProtect is easily manageable, and you can see every option from the user interface."
 

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."
"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."
"Sometimes, getting help from support can be difficult. On a scale from one to ten, I would give their support a rating of three."
"We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"There were a few things that required quick support calls in order to get to function correctly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"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."
"Cohesity came in at the best price."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
