Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"It is very stable."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"It is easy to configure."
"I like the tool's speed."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"It's completely reliable and easy to restore."
"It's stable."
"Several features enable us to perform fast recovery, such as instant fast recovery. All our virtual machines protected with the product can be quickly restored to another healthy environment with minimal downtime for our main customers. These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives."
"One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer."
"We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"I think Cohesity could add more platform support. For example, they could improve integration with DB2 or make the integration S3 object storage a little tighter. Some of that stuff could use some work, but overall, it's a relatively comprehensive platform."
"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 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 support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
