Technical Lead at Cognizant

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.

Ensures swift recovery from ransomware attacks and improves business continuity

The best features Datto SIRIS offers are ease of use, competitive pricing, and great support, which stand out for me. The ease of use of Datto SIRIS comes from the all-in-one control panel, making it very easy to use and handy to have compared to other solutions I've used. Datto SIRIS has positively impacted my organization by improving business continuity; after a ransomware attack that took down our main server, using the bare-metal recovery, we were up and running within the day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I rate the Cohesity Data Cloud solution a ten out of ten. It's an easy-to-use product that provides substantial value and security."

"The clone feature is very nice. You can restore workloads onto Cohesity's storage, which is also nice to have when you don't have enough space to restore on the server."

"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."

"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."

"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."

"It has excellent integration for virtualization, which means we can easily protect VMs, virtual machines, which consists mainly of snapshot backups that are quite easy to recover."

"It is easy to install and use."

More Cohesity Data Cloud pros

"Since I started using Datto SIRIS, the time to recover data or servers has improved significantly; before, restoring a file or server was very long with the normal backup system, Datto reduced the time much more when I needed to recover a file or a machine."

Cons

"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."

"One of the worst situations occurred when the sizing team did not get the correct subscription, usage, and capacity from Cohesity."

"In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups."

"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."

"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."

"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."

More Cohesity Data Cloud cons

"The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, it's very costly and I rate it a four."

"It's priced properly for the market."

"Competing products sometimes use deceptive marketing to make their products seem a lot cheaper. Comparing apples-to-apples, DataPlatform wins out."
