We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Cohesity DataProtect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I get my backups done."
"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."
"Backup of the VMware server is the most valuable feature."
"The scalability is good. It can scale. Adding a new server to a foreign location is easy."
"The initial setup is easy and very nice."
"The agentless backups are the big selling point on this, as well as being able to send out across sites so that I can do a restore at either of our two locations."
"The most important features are the backup and the availability of the Universal Explorer. The in-transit compression is great."
"It has improved our business continuity."
"By using their Helios Cloud service, you have all your clusters, no matter where they are located, in one web portal."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"The dashboard is very easy to use."
"No longer does it take several hours to backup a VM or troubleshoot a backup issue."
"The process is a bit cumbersome when you remove an agent, delete that job, and add the agent to the same server. Even though the agent is already installed in that server, the system does not recognize it. We have to uninstall the current agent, restart the server, install the push agent - a new agent - and then restart the server. I think they should try to avoid that."
"The API uses a common data image to store the data for the sets, but unfortunately, it's limited to consecutive sets only. That's the only limitation I have observed so far."
"I would like to have a different set of products instead of having a single software which does everything."
"Windows 10 does not have application-aware backups. From my point of view, that's what's existing needs improvement."
"The product is co-branded, not white-labeled."
"For the more sophisticated backups that do not have a set backup process, procedures that are outside of the norm, it would be nice if we had more control and did not have to use their technical support. While they're very responsive and have always come through in a reasonable time frame, we would like to be able to manage everything on our own."
"We had a lot of problems getting it configured in the first place. They also wanted us to allow them remote access to our machines without us watching what they're doing, which is a huge security risk for us. We said we couldn't do that, and they said they don't offer any phone support whatsoever."
"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."
"Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"The tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected. One feature that would greatly improve our experience with the product is the ability to identify data redundancies through a central console. This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data."
