We performed a comparison between Cohesity DataProtect and Datto Cloud Continuity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"By using their Helios Cloud service, you have all your clusters, no matter where they are located, in one web portal."
"This solution is easy to manage."
"We are looking forward to the next release, so we can take advantage of the AHV backup for our Nutanix environment."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"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."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution's reliability is one of its most valuable features...It is a very stable solution."
"The recovery time objective and recovery point objective were most valuable. It was easy to use, and it was easy to recover a file. I was the head of sales and a product evaluator for an MSSP, so I never had to deal with recovery from ransomware. However, I was confident that if ransomware had occurred, I would only lose a maximum of 59 minutes of data. The files were encrypted."
"Datto has strong competition, but they succeeded in linking their service to the device. It's easy for managed service providers to sell and upsell products using their portal and the remote monitoring and maintenance."
"The platform provides a faster backup process."
"The solution has the capability to scale well."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"Physical RDMs on virtual machines could be a bit easier to configure and plan out."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"The product's scalability features could be even better."
"At the time I was using it, I would've focused more on signatures of malicious software in the cloud. I love Datto, and I know they're on the right path, but I probably would've focused more on the operating system update management. When you go from the desk to the cloud or from the server room to the cloud, everything changes. Everything is different. You're not in control of your servers anymore. It is from the Active Directory management perspective and not from the perspective of zero-day attacks or other similar things. At the time, more focus on zero-day attacks and business email compromise (BEC) would've been a better protection factor than just educating about how many of these attacks have occurred."
"Datto's only shortcoming is RMM. They have a portal-based connection service like ConnectWise, but it does backups and keeps things running. Datto purchased Backupify and Kaseya bought Datto. If they upped the ante in their RMM, I could see them dominating the MSP space. At the end of the day, MSPs are responsible for networks, software, devices, and backup. Datto covers all these functions so they could offer a turnkey MSP solution."
"They are now providing the device instead of selling it, while wanting their users to sign a three-year contract, and this is something which my clients don't like...I dislike the fact that signing a three-year contract is required."
"I don't have any feedback to provide in terms of features that may be lacking."
"The fact that Datto Cloud Continuity is not cheap is one of the aspects that I don't like about the product, making it an area where improvements are required."
