Backup operations have become faster and daily recoveries run smoothly for on‑prem workloads
When compared to other tools, the deduplication in Cohesity DataProtect is very fast, and the restore performance is better than other tools. Global deduplication ensures that only unique data blocks are stored, significantly reducing storage consumption. Cohesity DataProtect's dashboard displays options and errors clearly, making it easy to access and understand how to fix issues. Cohesity DataProtect's ability to start processes automatically without manual selections enhances its reliability. Cohesity DataProtect's architecture ensures that agent installations automatically reflect in the dashboard, allowing for seamless integration into backup jobs. This improves operational efficiency, ensuring backups can be triggered without manual refreshes. Additionally, the user interface is intuitive, and the respect of the N-1 rule during updates helps prevent client-affecting issues.

Security posture management has provided clear SaaS and AI agent risk visibility and alerts
I am not using the inclusion of LLMs in the knowledge graph yet; to be honest, I see that it's showing things, but until now, I don't see big value on that. Apart from the integration with Copilot Studio that I mentioned, I would like to see more posture security controls added in some SaaS applications; I see a few of them, but it could have more. I would like to see real-time detection in prompts included to Reco in the next releases, maybe in Copilot Studio to see if I have any attack or prompt injection or whatever in Copilot Studio and all the agent platforms to inspect those prompts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"Cohesity customer service is the best that I have ever used, as they are extremely fast in responding to cases, fixed all issues, and answered every question in a very timely manner."
"Because of the excellent data reduction, we are able to back up all of our systems for the first time and use less space than our old backup appliance."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution has given us a three-fold performance increase."
"The change has been night and day."
"Cohesity has very simple reports to help you stay in the know of which servers are being backed up or not."
"We previously used Veeam and it is not as function in the cloud as Cohesity DataProtect is and this is why I prefer Cohesity DataProtect."
"What I like about Reco is that it's pretty easy to integrate with the applications; it's almost plug and play."
"What I appreciated most about Reco was its strong detection capability."
 

Cons

"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"It should have quicker restore times."
"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."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"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."
"I would say they could work on the update process of the nodes."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"To be honest, I see that it's showing things, but until now, I don't see big value on that."
"What I disliked about Reco was that it sometimes produced a lot of false positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"From my last assessment, the pricing for Cohesity DataProtect was reasonable. Compared to its closest competitor, Rubrik, I found Rubrik's pricing to be somewhat high-end. While Rubrik may have more advanced security features than Cohesity DataProtect currently, Cohesity DataProtect is releasing a new solution in the near future that will compete directly with Rubrik."
"Pricing, setup costs, etc. are pretty typical. The initial cost for Cohesity was less than other products the we evaluated. Cohesity's pricing does offer benefits as DR target costs are less than other solutions. You are not charged for DataProtect licensing for target DR data consumption."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"Sizing is important and it is easy to overestimate."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"It has reasonable pricing, and we know they can give discounts. If you look at the primary pricing or the list pricing, it conforms to the market pricing, but you have to have a discount on it. Otherwise, it is way too expensive."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
