Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot.""Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour.""This solution is easy to manage.""With instant DR failover using SiteContinuity, we are able to keep our files available no matter the situation.""The support is awesome. They are very fast, competent and friendly.""It has a lightning fast restore.""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.""A robust, verifiable backup with a restore solution, which decreases our backup and has a restore window."

More Cohesity DataProtect Pros →

"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices.""The initial setup process is simple.""HPE StoreOnce has high performance.""The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution.""The implementation is straightforward.""Deduplication is the most valuable feature.""Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups.""The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."

More HPE StoreOnce Pros →

Cons
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI.""Features I would like to see include a more visible data lifecycle monitoring tab, and an easier to read backup status dashboard.""The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming.""If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment.""The GUI is in need of improvement.""Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one.""In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity.""Initial setup can be complex if you need to change IP addresses. Hopefully, they improve that in a future release."

More Cohesity DataProtect Cons →

"The solution could always be less expensive.""HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide.""I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed.""The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution's pricing could be improved.""It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve.""The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it.""The solution's technical support should be faster."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
  • "If SQL is in heavy use at your location, I would highly recommend narrowing your PoC testing to Cohesity and Rubrik. They will be competitive on pricing with each other, so really put them through the paces."
  • "The ROI is huge. Not really measurable at this point, but the price of the unit was a fraction of what a couple hours of downtime could result in."
  • "Cohesity came in at the best price."
  • "Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
  • "Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
  • "We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
  • "With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
  • More Cohesity DataProtect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
  • "To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."
  • "There are costs for additional storage and space."
  • "Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."
  • "The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
  • "We have got a perpetual license, and we have access to all the features. If you are using cloud banks, you can store the internal data in HPE Cloud if needed. You can offload the data to the HPE Cloud. It is a licensed product. We have got around 10 TB of cloud bank storage with a one-time payment. We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."
  • "The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
  • "I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."
