Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Backups are quick and painless to set up."
"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
"It's stable."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"I found value in the instant recovery with DataMove. I found value in the protection group model for applying policies to VMs. And in the overall UI navigation and the way that the application is laid out in the web browser."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"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."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting. There are very granular reports from each grid. There are also some built-in reports within Helios (SAS Management Console) that offers basic reporting. However, for complex, large-enterprise environments, a more robust reporting engine that supports detailed audit reporting and enhanced ad hoc reports would be welcome."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"Many of the reports are basic, at most, and at times we had to open a support ticket to help find or develop a report for our needs."
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"I think Cohesity could add more platform support. For example, they could improve integration with DB2 or make the integration S3 object storage a little tighter. Some of that stuff could use some work, but overall, it's a relatively comprehensive platform."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
