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."Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"The most valuable features are the rapid VM restores and the ability to quickly find files and download them directly to my desktop so that I can put them where I need them to be."
"The system automatically takes down the nodes one at a time and performs the upgrade and brings the node back up before proceeding to the next. Upgrades can now be done at any time with a high level of confidence."
"It offers an easy, quick backup and restore of files and VMs. Also, the "Google-like " search for files is awesome."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
"It makes our administrators' lives much easier to combine backup, archiving, and services like hosting file shares in one central system with only one user interface."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"Cohesity is a cost-effective storage designed for secondary or archival data. It also integrates well with a number of other systems, like VMware, Pure Storage, or AWS with its large array of APIs available to the user."
"When we talk about a backup point of view, from a backup perspective, it's a good one."
"They have great support."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"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."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"No appliance update notifications."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
