We performed a comparison between Cohesity DataProtect and NetApp Cloud Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up."
"The solution is stable."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"The four independent node cluster architecture is redundant. It maintains data integrity and load balancing."
"We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easily manageable, and you can see every option from the user interface."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Scalability is very good."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"The support is pretty bad."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"The error handling could be improved."
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting. There are very granular reports from each grid. There are also some built-in reports within Helios (SAS Management Console) that offers basic reporting. However, for complex, large-enterprise environments, a more robust reporting engine that supports detailed audit reporting and enhanced ad hoc reports would be welcome."
"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 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."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
