Restoration setup streamlines backup management and user-friendliness improves interactions
I find restoration and setup to be the most valuable features because they are easy to use, easy to find, and easy to set up for the first time. Restoration allows me to recover a single file or a whole library or folder quickly, with the option to restore to either the original location or a new location. The latest updates have improved user-friendliness, especially for business-to-business interactions, enabling me to handle backup restorations and setups efficiently for my customers.

Support and connection issues affect user experience
I currently work at TCS in a different domain using AWS and Azure cloud backup. I switched from Cognizant to TCS four months ago, where I previously used Cohesity Data Cloud and Cohesity tools. I prefer Cohesity Data Cloud over AWS. While cloud functionality is similar across platforms, Cohesity Data Cloud's console, options, and web console are superior to AWS. The pricing of Cohesity Data Cloud depends on the data volume and retention period. Compared to alternatives, Cohesity Data Cloud is somewhat expensive. Regarding technical aspects, connection issues need to be addressed promptly. I would rate it eight out of ten, as these issues require immediate resolution to meet client requirements. Overall review rating: 9/10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"Its big data and archive data features are the features that I have found most valuable. I can use it in a big virtual environment."
"It is easy to install and use."
"One of the most outstanding features is forever incremental, which provides immutable backups."
"Cohesity Data Cloud comes with a different flavor where they provide global deduplication across multiple platforms, which provides a tremendous return on investment from a storage perspective because if you have a segment that can be deduplicated in one box and you have multiple boxes, you cannot repeat the deduplication function across different hardware."
"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."
"Cohesity Data Cloud is user-friendly, and anyone can use this tool; the support is really good, especially the web support, and the dashboard and everything are good."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
 

Cons

"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"It has never been touted as a tier-one storage platform, and that would be a benefit. They are currently working on solving that issue."
"Sometimes the support team does not provide proper assistance during critical issues from the cloud end."
"Sometimes the support team does not provide proper assistance during critical issues from the cloud end."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."
"They still have quite some way to go for improving their agents."
"The only concern I have with cloud implementation is that if you have a presence on-premises, trying to use the cloud may become a performance challenge."
"The downside of Cohesity Data Cloud is that it is not supporting a legacy environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"Regarding pricing, it's very costly and I rate it a four."
