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."
"We removed multiple backup systems and replaced with Cohesity."
"There are many features that make Cohesity stand out."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud, and all the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"The most valuable features are the rapid VM restores and the ability to quickly find files and download them directly to my desktop so that I can put them where I need them to be."
"The initial setup is easy."
"With instant DR failover using SiteContinuity, we are able to keep our files available no matter the situation."
"No longer does it take several hours to backup a VM or troubleshoot a backup issue."
"It has a lightning fast restore."
 

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."
"I thought physical RDM's were supported, but apparently that is not the case."
"The error handling could be improved."
"We don't love the Exchange integration, it works fine but requires a third-party application called Kroll."
"The product is still young and is continually improving."
"DataProtect's recovery time is too high. It takes a long time to recover things from the cloud."
"Currently, the product is lacking some features like BMR and backup for the cluster, but I think these are things that would be added in a few months."
"Cohesity DataProtect can improve in the area of databases. We have had some challenges with both Cohesity and Rubrik being able to effectively back up in a timely manner the SQL Oracle workloads."
"There were a few things that required quick support calls in order to get to function correctly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"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 pricing model is impressive and very effective."
"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"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."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"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."
