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 features are the rapid VM restores and the ability to quickly find files and download them directly to my desktop so that I can put them where I need them to be.""We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions. We are very satisfied with those, and the product is very simple to use.""Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection.""With the ability to stage an entire lifecycle through versioning, integrated with AWS, it has made it possible to protect our corporation from end to end.""Cohesity customer service is the best that I have ever used. They are extremely fast in responding to cases, fixed all issues, and answered every question in a very timely manner.""One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer.""The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection.""The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."

"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication.""It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization.""The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7.""It efficiently scans for threats without causing disruptions, unlike some other antivirus software.""The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system.""The solution has good performance.""The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms.""The solution detects viruses very, very fast."

Cons
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity.""We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good.""Initial setup can be complex if you need to change IP addresses. Hopefully, they improve that in a future release.""It would be great to add SQL ​Object Level restore, so user objects, tables, etc. can be restored without having to restore the entire DB.""Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI.""The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it.""The error handling could be improved.""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."

More Cohesity DataProtect Cons →

"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better.""The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times.""The integration with Android devices needs enhancement.""The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper.""One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling.""I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup.""There's a need for enhanced security measures.""The solution’s stability could be improved."

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 tool has a yearly licensing."
  • "It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
  • "The price is fairly acceptable."
  • "During procurement, we discovered that acquiring licenses in packages or bundles, such as the one for 20 users, was more cost-effective than individual licenses."
