We performed a comparison between Cohesity DataProtect and Druva Phoenix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The ability to essentially instantly recover a VM and have it run on the Cohesity Platform while all those bits are technically being recovered in the background is useful to us."
"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 dashboard is very easy to use."
"With instant DR failover using SiteContinuity, we are able to keep our files available no matter the situation."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer."
"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."
"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"Once you set it up and you tell it exactly what needs to be backed up, you literally forget about it. It sends you emails and notifications of the current status of the jobs."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"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."
"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume."
"Initial setup can be complex if you need to change IP addresses. Hopefully, they improve that in a future release."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"Druva Phoenix is optimized to work with x86 platforms, making it unsuitable for backing up non-x86 architectures like AIX. The solution is primarily designed for physical Linux and Windows systems based on the x86 architecture, as well as virtualized Windows and Linux environments. However, if you have an AIX system, it cannot be deployed in the cloud, and therefore, backing it up in the cloud is not a concern."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
"They were able to give us a very reasonable price considering we were non-for-profit organizations, however, there is always room for improvement on that cost."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
