Kalaiarasan Meganathan - PeerSpot reviewer
Specialist at HCLSoftware
Backup operations have become faster and daily recoveries run smoothly for on‑prem workloads
When compared to other tools, the deduplication in Cohesity DataProtect is very fast, and the restore performance is better than other tools. Global deduplication ensures that only unique data blocks are stored, significantly reducing storage consumption. Cohesity DataProtect's dashboard displays options and errors clearly, making it easy to access and understand how to fix issues. Cohesity DataProtect's ability to start processes automatically without manual selections enhances its reliability. Cohesity DataProtect's architecture ensures that agent installations automatically reflect in the dashboard, allowing for seamless integration into backup jobs. This improves operational efficiency, ensuring backups can be triggered without manual refreshes. Additionally, the user interface is intuitive, and the respect of the N-1 rule during updates helps prevent client-affecting issues.

Real-time customer analytics has boosted performance and simplified flexible JSON operations
I believe that the documentation should be increased, and features such as vector AI search and other AI capabilities need improvement for Couchbase Capella. I would say that there is a need for developer experience enhancements, including a simpler user interface, better debugging, SQL++ guidance, and more visibility into granular workload-level costs while reporting. Couchbase Capella can improve the accuracy and reliability of its AI output. Though it is not guaranteed that the large language model answer will be correct, improvements can be made by grounding the large language models and controlling parameters such as temperature to provide better results.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of the most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect for me include instant mass restore, anomaly detection, and its ability to handle large data volumes effectively."
"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."
"We have quick, reliable, verifiable backups that replicate off-site, the system is easy to administer and troubleshoot, and support is quick to respond and helpful."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"With Cohesity, you have a template that helps you to backup and restore the right thing to the right place."
"It is a relatively complete solution."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The way the nodes are managed is interesting."
"For specifics, I can say that performance is 80% faster, with a four-fold increase in throughput requests and application availability uptime rising from 99.9% to 99.9999%, and the application can now handle three times more traffic."
 

Cons

"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"The error handling could be improved."
"The GUI is in need of improvement."
"The support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs."
"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."
"There were a few things that required quick support calls in order to get to function correctly."
"For the support, I can provide a rating of four only because they initially provide some steps, but later say they are not sure, which is a problem in a production environment."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"I believe that the documentation should be increased, and features such as vector AI search and other AI capabilities need improvement for Couchbase Capella."
"The product could be improved by including a log section for tracking activities, enhancing database integration, and providing more transparency regarding pricing and monitoring activities."
"Rebalancing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
"Sizing is important and it is easy to overestimate."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"It has reasonable pricing, and we know they can give discounts. If you look at the primary pricing or the list pricing, it conforms to the market pricing, but you have to have a discount on it. Otherwise, it is way too expensive."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
