All organizations are very interested in as-a-service model where they do not pay upfront cost, but they only get the services and pay for what they use as they use it.

Mounir ElMously

Senior Manager Advisory Services at Optimum Online (Cablevision Systems)

To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.

President at IT1 Service

We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.

Gregory Lemmon

Support and connection issues affect user experience

Technical Lead at Cognizant

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.

Owner at Vtek Systems

The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent

I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.
