A scalable and reliable product that is good for data security and disaster recovery
We use the tool for our Microsoft 365 customers for their backup of Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint data. We also use it for data security and disaster recovery.  The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable. The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft…

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 most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"It is easy to install and use."
"One of the most outstanding features is forever incremental, which provides immutable backups."
"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."
"My favorite feature of Cohesity Data Cloud is the setup, as it is very fast compared to other solutions; I have worked in different clouds, and Cohesity Data Cloud stands out as superior."
"I definitely recommend this tool to others due to its simplicity, security, features, and flexibility."
"I find the most important feature to be data protection."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"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."
 

Cons

"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"The downside of Cohesity Data Cloud is that it is not supporting a legacy environment."
"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 pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."
"Sometimes the support team does not provide proper assistance during critical issues from the cloud end."
