Sentiment score
8.2
Druva inSync is generally stable and reliable, despite occasional failures and documentation concerns, with users rating it highly.
On the whole, any problems were more related to hardware limitations rather than issues with Cohesity DataProtect itself.
 

Room For Improvement

Cohesity DataProtect requires improvements in recovery times, features, documentation, integration, UI, stability, support, and pricing.
Druva inSync needs better user quota, pricing, support, backup improvements, security, AI features, and real-time alerts.
While there are improvements to be made, such as providing support for older systems like IBM iSeries and tandem systems from HP, the solution overall shifts from older methods to modern practices.
To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP.
In the next release, I would like to see additional features and functionalities that focus more on AI functionality, similar to what other vendors offer.
 

Setup Cost

Cohesity DataProtect provides a competitive pricing model, bundling software and storage, often offering discounts and quick setup.
Druva inSync is cost-effective with flexible pricing, 50GB/300GB storage options, but lacks on-premises solutions and incurs no licensing fees.
I find Cohesity DataProtect to be expensive.
From my perspective, Druva inSync is reasonably priced.
 

Valuable Features

Cohesity DataProtect offers seamless scalability, efficient data protection, intuitive UI, cloud integration, and high availability for optimized backup tasks.
Druva inSync provides cloud-based backups with ransomware protection, geofencing, and efficient recovery, optimizing storage, bandwidth, and security.
The platform is based on a scale-out architecture with each node having compute, RAM, SSD, and HDD.
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.
The solution provides significant ROI through bandwidth saving, storage, and manpower optimization.

Featured Reviews

Giovanni Golinelli. - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use, offers good scalability and responsive support
The deployment depends on the environment. Deploying on VMs is relatively simple. But for most of our customers, we implement physical clusters with at least three configured hosts using the existing model. So, it depends on the setup. Implementing DataProtect itself wasn't particularly challenging. One key requirement for successful DataProtect deployment is proper network configuration. If the network setup isn't right, you won't achieve optimal performance. We have developed a service for some of our customers where they implement an appliance or physical cluster of Cohesity at the customer site. Then, we use cloud clustering to replicate, and even in production, a second copy of the protected data. And in some cases, we have developed some disaster recovery procedures using Cohesity.
