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.

CONRAD FORREST

President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support

MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"I find the most important feature to be data protection."

More Cohesity Data Cloud pros

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here."

"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

"MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface."

"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."

"Technical support is very good."

"Client-side encryption minimizes worries about data being captured on the back-end."

"I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup."

"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."

More MSP360 Backup pros

Cons

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

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

"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."

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

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

"They still have quite some way to go for improving their agents."

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

More Cohesity Data Cloud cons

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."

"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."

"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."

"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."

"The product could be more user-friendly."

More MSP360 Backup cons

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."

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"The solution is expensive."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."

"We have a very good return on investment."
