Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"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 is a cost-effective storage designed for secondary or archival data. It also integrates well with a number of other systems, like VMware, Pure Storage, or AWS with its large array of APIs available to the user."
"The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"It makes our administrators' lives much easier to combine backup, archiving, and services like hosting file shares in one central system with only one user interface."
"It's completely reliable and easy to restore."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"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."
"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."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"They're scalable."
"The Dell PowerProtect DD architecture offers several significant features. One is DD Boost, which is utilized at both the source and destination sites for application processing."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The price of the product is high."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
