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.
Daniel Mitchell - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at PeerSpot
Integration with professional networks has optimized contact sourcing and outreach strategies
The best features that ZoomInfo offers include the integration with LinkedIn which is one of the best features because that means when I'm prospecting and researching, I can easily find the right contacts. I also love the feature that enables me to see who's more likely to respond via email or via call. It's not always 100% accurate but it helps me level up and do the right method of outreach to the right person. Additionally, I love the integration features that I can easily integrate with the software that I need such as SalesLoft, so I can quickly import the contacts. ZoomInfo positively impacts my organization because it helps us do prospecting which in turn helps us get meetings, opportunities and revenue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"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."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."
"We can easily find the data we need on ZoomInfo, which is why I like it. It has 99 percent accuracy. ZoomInfo almost always provides accurate data for specific roles and markets."
"The tool is easily accessible."
"The solution saves us time and money."
"The best features that ZoomInfo offers include the integration with LinkedIn which is one of the best features because that means when I'm prospecting and researching, I can easily find the right contacts."
"It is a stable product."
"One other thing I have noticed about ZoomInfo's features is that I appreciate their focus on intent data and how they are trying to surface accounts that are more in market, using a bunch of different data sources for that."
"ZoomInfo's data refreshment helps overcome those issues. Overall, it's very user-friendly in terms of filtering and data accuracy."
"The technical support team has been very responsive and helpful."
 

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."
"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."
"In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"Sometimes the support team does not provide proper assistance during critical issues from the cloud end."
"They still have quite some way to go for improving their agents."
"The implementation process must be improved."
"Most of the time the information is old."
"We face difficulty while collecting data from small companies."
"A data cleanup feature within the admin tool would be helpful."
"The product's setup process could be easy to understand for new users."
"Sometimes, the data can be lacking or inaccurate, with occasional server issues. I'd like to see these lagging issues addressed. For example, when validating data, there are often discrepancies; a company might show different data counts on ZoomInfo compared to other sources. Improving the integration of accurate data would be beneficial."
"The team should look into enriching their database, especially for the European and Middle East region."
"The pricing is way too high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's priced properly for the market."
"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."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The tool costs around 10-15 dollars a month. It is a bit expensive."
