Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is ease of use.""Cohesity DataProtect is easily manageable, and you can see every option from the user interface.""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.""Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups.""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 four independent node cluster architecture is redundant. It maintains data integrity and load balancing.""It's stable.""The SQL Backup and Restore is very easy."

More Cohesity DataProtect Pros →

"Data being available anytime is a life changer.""Delphix can do data masking in any format. Not many solutions can do that.""It's really easy to install.""It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA.""The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end.""It is a stable solution.""The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases.""The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."

More Delphix Pros →

Cons
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable.""Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved.""Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI.""Cohesity cluster upgrades have not been as easy as a single button click. They are a manual process that requires upgrading each node into a cluster individually.""The support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs.""Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic.""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.""Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."

More Cohesity DataProtect Cons →

"The solution's price needs improvement.""One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating.""As a commercial model, it's very good. However, maybe it would be nice for Delphix to integrate with some other platforms.""When it comes to unstructured and structured data, if Delphix can comply with the requirements for most of the structured data, it would be good, especially if it can include the data scanning part.""Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities.""Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling.""Delphix is quite expensive.""Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
  • "If SQL is in heavy use at your location, I would highly recommend narrowing your PoC testing to Cohesity and Rubrik. They will be competitive on pricing with each other, so really put them through the paces."
  • "The ROI is huge. Not really measurable at this point, but the price of the unit was a fraction of what a couple hours of downtime could result in."
  • "Cohesity came in at the best price."
  • "Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
  • "Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
  • "We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
  • "With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
  • More Cohesity DataProtect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
  • "Delphix's pricing is affordable."
  • "I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
  • "It is an expensive solution."
  • "The product is a little bit expensive."
  • "I rate the product price seven to eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the low price, and ten is the high price."
