We performed a comparison between AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery and Cohesity DataProtect 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."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."
"The initial setup is really straightforward."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"I love the ability to clone a virtual server in only minutes."
"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"Cohesity DataProtect is a reliable solution for performing backups within a suitable timeframe, and its forever incremental model is particularly effective for the customer's needs. Additionally, the solution handles instant recovery and file-level recovery from a VMware image backup seamlessly."
"The customer service and support are fast and professional."
"We can run test scripts on production data."
"One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"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 UI could be a little sleeker."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"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."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"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."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"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."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
