Technical Account Manager / IT Consultant at OnServe - Your IT Department at OnServe

Inexpensive, easy to configure, good support, and it is easy to scale up when needed

The most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with. Whether you're working on the appliance itself, or you're working on the cloud, it is basically the same interface. It got to the point where when we needed to recover a file, we didn't look at the backup solution anymore. Instead, we went right to the Datto Backupify. Using Backupify took our time to recover from probably four days to 20 minutes. With this device, you're capable of logging into the interface or through an IP address to access the data that is stored on it. Recovery can be just a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or doing a full bare metal recovery, replacing the entire hardware-based server.

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 most valuable feature is the interface, which is very nice to work with."

"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the fact that users themselves can self-provision and recover."

"The dashboard is very easy to use."

"Its flexibility is the most valuable. Being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place. It has good high availability, and it is also easy to maintain."

"We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions. We are very satisfied with those, and the product is very simple to use."

"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."

"We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."

"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."

"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."

"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."

More Cohesity DataProtect pros

Cons

"Not a ten because there's always room for improvement."

"The device does not allow you to do multiple backups over the whole environment."

"Cohesity DataProtect needs to improve its reporting capabilities."

"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."

"I think Cohesity could add more platform support. For example, they could improve integration with DB2 or make the integration S3 object storage a little tighter. Some of that stuff could use some work, but overall, it's a relatively comprehensive platform."

"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 are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."

"The platform has certain limitations, mostly stemming from the restrictions imposed by the VMware API and some other factors. One area where there is room for improvement is the tracking of replicated copies, especially in the context of remote archive duplication."

"Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic."

"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."

More Cohesity DataProtect cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The costs were about $1,000 USD to buy the unit in the first place, and then between $250 and $300 per year for support."

"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."

"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."

"Sizing is important and it is easy to overestimate."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
