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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

More Cohesity Data Cloud pros

"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."

"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."

Cons

"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."

"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."

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

"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 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."

"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."

More Cohesity Data Cloud cons

"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."

"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."

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."

"It's priced properly for the market."

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

"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
