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.

"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."

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

Cons

"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."

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

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

"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."

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

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

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

More Cohesity Data Cloud cons

"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."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's priced properly for the market."

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