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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My advice to anyone considering Cohesity DataProtect is to try it out because the performance seems to exceed the competitors in the market."
"It has absolutely improved our ROI as our incident tickets for backup have dropped by around a thousand per month after moving from Microsoft DPM to Cohesity."
"It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"It has vastly improved our ability to save money by backing up and replicating our backups off-site."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"While we're still new in the implementation, we are excited that we now have a single point of view for all of our backups."
"Cohesity has simplified backups and has cut our costs tremendously."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
 

Cons

"The support is pretty bad."
"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."
"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."
"The one drawback of this quick innovation is that their units were shipped with outdated firmware, but this was quickly remedied, and they have made operational changes to reduce the likelihood of sending outdated firmware again."
"Replication between two Cohesity clusters should be be improved in the next releases."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"The marketplace app stability is still an issue at times."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"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 tool's pricing is average."
"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."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"The solution's pricing is in the mid-range, where it's neither costly nor cheap."
"My advice is to always negotiate for better pricing."
