Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"The cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"No longer does it take several hours to backup a VM or troubleshoot a backup issue."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"This solution is easy to manage."
"We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."
"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting. There are very granular reports from each grid. There are also some built-in reports within Helios (SAS Management Console) that offers basic reporting. However, for complex, large-enterprise environments, a more robust reporting engine that supports detailed audit reporting and enhanced ad hoc reports would be welcome."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"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."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"Physical RDMs on virtual machines could be a bit easier to configure and plan out."
