We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have found that the speed of restores, especially files and folders, are extremely fast. This bodes well for us, and our end users are always amazed at how fast you can get them their files.""The solution is stable.""The most valuable feature is ease of use.""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.""It's completely reliable and easy to restore.""The customer service and support are fast and professional.""The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable.""Instead of four different solutions for protecting VMs, physical servers, SQL, and NAS, we now have one solution with Cohesity that is lightning fast and has amazing features."

"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center.""This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy.""Replication without network changes.""The deployment is quite simple. Users are generally happy because of the familiarity they have with the features. The solution offers good transparency for the end-user.""In my opinion, the console or dashboard is the most valuable feature of this solution.""The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks.""The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability.""The administration and management integrate with multiple solutions, not just with one or two environments, even if they're not VMware products."

Cons
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors.""The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it.""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 support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs.""We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product.""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.""The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming.""In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."

More Cohesity DataProtect Cons →

"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be.""Some of the features I'd like added to the solution would be coming up in version 12, so the only area for improvement I saw in Veeam Cloud Connect was the need to have more support for object storage.""If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive.""It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this.""There are some issues with the cloud providers for Veeam Cloud Connect that do not support all the features.""Doesn't back-up from KVM.""We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning.""I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

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 →

  • "I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."
  • "The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
  • "We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."
  • "The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."
  • "It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."
  • "The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."
  • "The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

    Reviews from Real Users
