More Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup Pros →

"A robust, verifiable backup with a restore solution, which decreases our backup and has a restore window.""The system automatically takes down the nodes one at a time and performs the upgrade and brings the node back up before proceeding to the next. Upgrades can now be done at any time with a high level of confidence.""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.""The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes.""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.""It has a lightning fast restore.""The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads.""This solution is easy to manage."

Cons
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing.""The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms.""They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows.""The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers.""What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed.""We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."

More Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup Cons →

"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one.""The GUI is in need of improvement.""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.""The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition.""A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often.""We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good.""The error handling could be improved."

  • "Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."

  • "Cohesity came in at the best price."
  • "Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
