Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up."
"Cohesity is a cost-effective storage designed for secondary or archival data. It also integrates well with a number of other systems, like VMware, Pure Storage, or AWS with its large array of APIs available to the user."
"The ability to essentially instantly recover a VM and have it run on the Cohesity Platform while all those bits are technically being recovered in the background is useful to us."
"Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"We can run test scripts on production data."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
"We would like it to have more capabilities for different kinds of PaaS or SaaS services in the Azure cloud, such as Azure SQL or Azure Cosmos DB."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"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 solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"Its management can be improved."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
