I would rate Cohesity Data Cloud a 9 out of 10. It is best to run a sort of bake-off before purchasing. Even the best product might not meet customer expectations in some situations. I would recommend expanding your selection and then shortlisting selected vendors to no more than three, ideally two. Run a bake-off to ensure it meets your requirements. Assume we have two different applications, each one 50 terabytes. One is a production SAP database, and the other is a small Oracle application in a departmental office. Because of the critical nature of the SAP component, the return or recovery from the SAP backup is considered a much higher priority than the back office application. The ability to assign recovery priority for data types enables meeting RPO of each application without impacting the other, which simplifies DR and recovery from major incidents. The interoperability between different hyperscalers or cloud providers can be challenging. For an organization with presence in the major three cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP), implementing the solution across all three simultaneously requires extensive experience to ensure delivery meets expectations. The process is straightforward with one cloud provider, but with multiple providers, interoperability will always be a challenge.

Right now, because we are in the migration phase and not into the production environment, I cannot give all the suggestions from my experience. Maybe after one or two months later, I'll give the complete picture of Cohesity Data Cloud. We are customers of Cohesity Data Cloud, not partners. I can give Cohesity Data Cloud an eight out of ten. It's good but not very good because of a few things, particularly the cloud integrations, ransomware issues, and vulnerabilities. If these areas are fixed as soon as possible, then Cohesity will beat the market soon.
Pricing is on the higher side, so it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions. The Cohesity Cloud appears costly compared to native backups. Overall, I would rate the product eight out of ten. I definitely recommend this tool to others due to its simplicity, security, features, and flexibility. The only limitation is the cost factor.

Because Cohesity is running with many vendors like HPE, Cisco, and EMC, when you go with the installation, you will find the latest release on the download link. By default, the customer chooses the available one, not the archive one, because it's the only one available. For the person to install it, you should check with Cohesity or the support vendor if this hardware is compatible or not. We have found some issues with the NVMe disk which affects the installation because they like internal scripting and checking the hardware and if some of the disk is not installed or the NVMe disk is not matching the installation script, the OS will not be installed. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Imanis Data a 10 out of 10.

For others who are interested in using this solution, I would recommend sizing it correctly for your environment and choose your third-party vendors wisely. They may try to cut corners to keep the price down by under-sizing it. It is very important to choose your partner wisely. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
