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.

Seamless integration supports small teams with existing skills

The most valuable feature we've found with Veritas CloudPoint so far is the lack of a learning curve because the team was already familiar with all of the consoles and how to build policies. As they started to use it in Azure, they were able to continue doing things as they were used to doing them rather than having to learn a new tool. The efficiency gain we've experienced is that we were able to start deploying backup policies to Azure without having to learn a new tool, even though there are arguments about overhead and granularity if one uses native Azure backup tools compared to Veritas CloudPoint.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."

"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."

"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."

"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."

"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."

More Cohesity Data Cloud pros

"The most valuable features are the indexing, the file-level restore, and the replications between regions."

"The product is good for volume-level backups."

"I would rate Veritas CloudPoint a ten because it's done everything it says it'll do, and we've really not had many problems with it."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More Cohesity Data Cloud cons

"I don't care for the pricing or capacity license model from Veritas CloudPoint because there are cases where we back up the same data multiple times, yet we still owe from a capacity standpoint based on how much data is managed in our backups."

"They are niche with the work that they do, but they should have more integration with NetBackup and the reporting is something they should be working towards improving."

"The product needs to improve its file-level or granular-level backups."

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."

"When comparing to other solutions, the price is at par."
