We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP 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."The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"With the ability to stage an entire lifecycle through versioning, integrated with AWS, it has made it possible to protect our corporation from end to end."
"This solution is easy to manage."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easily manageable, and you can see every option from the user interface."
"Within the system, we have rule-based access control, single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and basic identity and access management features."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
"Cohesity has simplified backups and has cut our costs tremendously."
"The product is easy to put in place. All backups are done very quickly. It's easy to perform restores. What I prefer in the product is its simplicity. There are no useless settings to define, and everything is ready after the initial setup."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"The initial setup was complex."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"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."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume."
"I would like to see Cohesity have the ability to do a file level restore from a Windows server, which is storing data on dynamic disk."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."
