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.
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The system automatically takes down the nodes one at a time and performs the upgrade and brings the node back up before proceeding to the next. Upgrades can now be done at any time with a high level of confidence."
"It makes our administrators' lives much easier to combine backup, archiving, and services like hosting file shares in one central system with only one user interface."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
"It has a lightning fast restore."
"Cohesity has simplified backups and has cut our costs tremendously."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
 

Cons

"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"Features I would like to see include a more visible data lifecycle monitoring tab, and an easier to read backup status dashboard."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"Non-cloud services need improvement."
"Many of the reports are basic, at most, and at times we had to open a support ticket to help find or develop a report for our needs."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"It could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
"Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"There is monthly licensing."
"The tool's pricing is average."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
