Backup operations have become faster and daily recoveries run smoothly for on‑prem workloads
When compared to other tools, the deduplication in Cohesity DataProtect is very fast, and the restore performance is better than other tools. Global deduplication ensures that only unique data blocks are stored, significantly reducing storage consumption. Cohesity DataProtect's dashboard displays options and errors clearly, making it easy to access and understand how to fix issues. Cohesity DataProtect's ability to start processes automatically without manual selections enhances its reliability. Cohesity DataProtect's architecture ensures that agent installations automatically reflect in the dashboard, allowing for seamless integration into backup jobs. This improves operational efficiency, ensuring backups can be triggered without manual refreshes. Additionally, the user interface is intuitive, and the respect of the N-1 rule during updates helps prevent client-affecting issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"Reliable backup solution with many options and friendly/logical backup/restore infrastructure."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easily manageable, and you can see every option from the user interface."
"Considering the organization wouldn’t exist any longer without Cohesity, I would say it was worth it."
"Compared to the products that we had earlier, Cohesity replaced our primary backup solution, runs VMs, and hosts all our backup mount points in our environment at a fraction of the cost."
"We have found that being able to host file shares and back up our environment in one device is amazing."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up.​"
"The ease of use and the GUI have really been most valuable to us. Configuring the system to do what we need is simple and straight forward and a lot of guesswork has been removed. One of my favorite features with Cohesity is Kroll for Exchange item-level recovery. The software is simple to use and fast."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"The support from Cohesity is good, but it is not as exceptional as Nutanix."
"I thought physical RDM's were supported, but apparently that is not the case."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"Many of the reports are basic, at most, and at times we had to open a support ticket to help find or develop a report for our needs."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"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."
"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"Sizing is important and it is easy to overestimate."
"The pricing model is impressive and very effective."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
