Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"I found value in the instant recovery with DataMove. I found value in the protection group model for applying policies to VMs. And in the overall UI navigation and the way that the application is laid out in the web browser."
"It has a lightning fast restore."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."
"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."
"The customer service and support are fast and professional."
"I like the performance of the restore feature."
"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting. There are very granular reports from each grid. There are also some built-in reports within Helios (SAS Management Console) that offers basic reporting. However, for complex, large-enterprise environments, a more robust reporting engine that supports detailed audit reporting and enhanced ad hoc reports would be welcome."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"The support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs."
"Initial setup can be complex if you need to change IP addresses. Hopefully, they improve that in a future release."
"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
"The tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected. One feature that would greatly improve our experience with the product is the ability to identify data redundancies through a central console. This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
