Featured Reviews

Shiva Kinnera - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Finds security and customization features impressive, although cost concerns persist
My experience with Palantir Foundry and Azure has been good. Palantir Foundry is costly, but Azure is open, which allows for easier experimentation. Being a closed product, Palantir Foundry is difficult to practice offline unless we have an enterprise edition. However, it is very secure compared to other platforms. Palantir Foundry's best features include security, built-in features, low-code, no-code platform, and ease of use. The collaborative workspaces within Palantir Foundry contribute to team efficiency and project outcomes through seamless operation. The ease of customization is particularly notable. I have worked with the data lineage feature in Palantir Foundry, which comes by default. We simply need to tick the checkbox and make necessary configuration changes within the system itself. We do not need to procure another lineage platform as Palantir Foundry has its own built-in features for data lineage, data governance, and data security. The lineage feature helps enhance our data management practices by allowing us to understand the origin of data, track all activities happening on the data, identify users and consumers, and monitor how it flows across the system. This makes it easier to generate reports based on the lineage database. The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries. Using the AIP library within Palantir Foundry helps us develop quick resolutions for predictive models and analytics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"I definitely recommend this tool to others due to its simplicity, security, features, and flexibility."
"My favorite feature of Cohesity Data Cloud is the setup, as it is very fast compared to other solutions; I have worked in different clouds, and Cohesity Data Cloud stands out as superior."
"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The data lineage is great."
"The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"It's scalable."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
 

Cons

"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."
"In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups."
"Sometimes the support team does not provide proper assistance during critical issues from the cloud end."
"One of the worst situations occurred when the sizing team did not get the correct subscription, usage, and capacity from Cohesity."
"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."
"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"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."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The major hindrance with Palantir Foundry is that being a very closed product, the cost optimization and costing are not exposed to the end users."
 

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."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
