Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"It has a lightning fast restore."
"We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."
"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 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."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"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 enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"If you are looking for a backup solution, go with Druva because it's quite simple."
"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."
"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"The support is pretty bad."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"Many of the reports are basic, at most, and at times we had to open a support ticket to help find or develop a report for our needs."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."
"The speed could be better."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
