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."The setup is pretty straightforward."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"I love the ability to clone a virtual server in only minutes."
"I have found that the speed of restores, especially files and folders, are extremely fast. This bodes well for us, and our end users are always amazed at how fast you can get them their files."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"The most valuable aspect for me is that I don't have to deal with media in terms of tapes like our existing system does."
"Cohesity has very simple reports to help you stay in the know of which servers are being backed up or not."
"The ease of use and the GUI have really been most valuable to us. Configuring the system to do what we need is simple and straight forward and a lot of guesswork has been removed. One of my favorite features with Cohesity is Kroll for Exchange item-level recovery. The software is simple to use and fast."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"We would like it to have more capabilities for different kinds of PaaS or SaaS services in the Azure cloud, such as Azure SQL or Azure Cosmos DB."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"There is room for improvement in terms of price."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"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 tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected. One feature that would greatly improve our experience with the product is the ability to identify data redundancies through a central console. This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
