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."It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions. We are very satisfied with those, and the product is very simple to use."
"This solution is easy to manage."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
"The solution has been stable so far."
"We use Data Guard for online replication from data center, to data center for high availability. This is the most important feature."
"With Data Guard, Oracle guarantees zero data loss, providing peace of mind for organizations relying on their data for critical operations."
"You can see how the logs are applied, check the apply time, and how far behind the standby is at any given time."
"The most important feature is that if I want to test the database at the disaster recovery site, I can take a snapshot, test it, and then revert it back to the original state without needing to restore the complete database from the primary data center to the disaster recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the application or promotional code used in the production protocol to transfer data to the secondary database, situated on the DR site."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"The solution can scale as needed."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"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."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"The platform has certain limitations, mostly stemming from the restrictions imposed by the VMware API and some other factors. One area where there is room for improvement is the tracking of replicated copies, especially in the context of remote archive duplication."
"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"Cohesity DataProtect can improve in the area of databases. We have had some challenges with both Cohesity and Rubrik being able to effectively back up in a timely manner the SQL Oracle workloads."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"It is a rather complex solution, so it could be more user-friendly."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high. They should do what they can to bring it down so that it is more reasonable for customers like us."
"For Italian medium-sized companies, the main challenge lies in the cost associated with licenses."
"It is a very useful administrative IT tool. It saves on costs."
"The initial setup is complex."
