Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution.""For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine.""The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads.""It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests.​""Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests.​""We have never had any issues with scalability.""​The initial setup is really straightforward.""The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."

"The implementation and training are all done through the sales engineer, which provides for a seamless and great experience when it comes to starting with a new vendor.""We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across.""Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour.""The ease of use and the GUI have really been most valuable to us. Configuring the system to do what we need is simple and straight forward and a lot of guesswork has been removed. One of my favorite features with Cohesity is Kroll for Exchange item-level recovery. The software is simple to use and fast.""Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection.""It's stable.""The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection.""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."

Cons
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information.""I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work.""The UI could be a little sleeker.""I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives.""I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time.""The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive.""The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement.""Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. ​"

More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Cons →

"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume.""We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product.""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.""They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements.""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.""Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one.""Physical RDMs on virtual machines could be a bit easier to configure and plan out.""Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We were happy with the pricing that they gave us."
  • "They license us on a per machine basis. We have a set number of machines, which we have licensed.​"
  • "I feel the product's pricing is a good value. Licensing is pretty straightforward."
  • "The pricing is better now that they had come out with the Tier 2 which replicates a little less often. In comparison to what I would have been spending with any other type of solution, the pricing is fair."
  • "Where the price adds up, there are CloudEndure licenses, then there is the AWS environment, and finally, there is the AWS storage, so cumulatively, it adds up."
  • "It has saved us money from having to buy hardware for disaster recovery."
  • "CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is charging clients $20 to do the DR backups. It is an expensive solution."
  • "I rate the price of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery a six out of ten."
  • More AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery 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."
