Shiva Kinnera - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Efficient file restoration with rapid incremental backups and potential for better reporting
I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data. Also, the reports we can generate have limited features. There is a limitation in the advanced reporting features, such as understanding how many files are in the backup, which users are actively using it, and how many files have been backed up properly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the most important feature to be data protection."
"I definitely recommend this tool to others due to its simplicity, security, features, and flexibility."
"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."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"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."
"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."
"It is easy to install and use."
"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."
More Cohesity Data Cloud pros
"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."
"The most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups."
"The centralized management console in this solution and AI-driven analytics are good features."
 

Cons

"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 initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"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."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"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."
"They still have quite some way to go for improving their agents."
"One of the worst situations occurred when the sizing team did not get the correct subscription, usage, and capacity from Cohesity."
More Cohesity Data Cloud cons
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"They can improve their product quality for Salesforce as they don't have the capability to run that business without Technobind."
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Competing products sometimes use deceptive marketing to make their products seem a lot cheaper. Comparing apples-to-apples, DataPlatform wins out."
"Regarding pricing, it's very costly and I rate it a four."
"It's priced properly for the market."
