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.

"One of the most outstanding features is forever incremental, which provides immutable backups."

"Cohesity Data Cloud is user-friendly, and anyone can use this tool; the support is really good, especially the web support, and the dashboard and everything are good."

"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."

"It is easy to install and use."

"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."

"I definitely recommend this tool to others due to its simplicity, security, features, and flexibility."

"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."

More Cohesity Data Cloud pros

"The solution's support team is excellent."

"My customer has Dell EMC CloudBoost integrated with all of their other Dell products. It integrates well."

Cons

"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."

"Sometimes the support team does not provide proper assistance during critical issues from the cloud end."

"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."

"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 downside of Cohesity Data Cloud is that it is not supporting a legacy environment."

"Sometimes the support team does not provide proper assistance during critical issues from the cloud end."

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

"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."

More Cohesity Data Cloud cons

"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"It's priced properly for the market."

"The price of Dell EMC CloudBoost could be reduced, it is expensive."

"Its cost depends upon the amount of data that needs to be protected."
