I have previously worked with other solutions like Commvault Rubrik. I switched to Cohesity DataProtect because of its better performance, accessibility, maintenance, and cost.

We use TSM from IBM, NetBackup from Veritas, and Veeam.

Cohesity DataProtect is better than Dell EMC. I prefer working with it primarily because of its central management console, which is user-friendly and provides excellent visibility into what is being protected across different sites. Previously, everything was in silos, and I had to look at each site in isolation. With Cohesity DataProtect, I now have a consolidated view. 

We currently use several different products and are seeking to standardize on a single, simpler solution that meets our needs today as well as supports more cloud options/tools.

We previously used Microsoft DPM and it is a horrendous solution. It's horrible. From from one to 10, I would give it a minus 10. It is that bad.

We previously used Rubrik and we switched due to Rubrik tending to focus more on public cloud solutions over the past couple years and also the overall price of the solution - Rubrik was very expensive. We wanted to have more of a competitive product up against it.

We previously used Veeam and it is not as function in the cloud as Cohesity DataProtect is and this is why I prefer Cohesity DataProtect.

Previously we used CommVault. We needed a more agile and robust solution. 

We switched over, as the previous solution was very lacking behind in innovation. It was missing basic features such as finding VMs and we were told to simply use "ctrl+f" to find them. However, this didn't help if the screen spanned across multiple pages.

We previously used CommVault. We switched due to costs and speeds primarily.

We used NetBackup. We are tired of using tapes and Cohesity has the features that we're interested in.

Prior to using Cohesity, we were using Agility Data Backup and Recovery.

We are moving to Cohesity by migrating existing backup/storage solutions. We switched because were not confident in delivering backup solutions and managing SLAs.

Previously, we used Veritas Backup Exec and LTO tapes. On the storage side, we had legacy Netgear and NetApp NAS devices that Cohesity replaced with a single device.

I've used many different solutions including Veeam and Rubrik.

We switched because the return on investment was much greater with Cohesity.

We had been using Dell EMC Avamar, however, we switched to Cohesity due to their pricing and due to the fact that Avamar was a mess. 

We switched from a previous solution because it was unreliable and their tech support was unable to adequately fix the issues we were having. 

We also use Commvault. We see Commvault more as the Swiss army knife for backup solutions with a lot of features and functions. When we want to make backup more easy and robust, then we're positioning Cohesity. We see that one part of the market really likes the Commvault features and functionality, but there is another part in the Dutch market that says, "I don't want all that complexity. I just want it set and go," and that's when we're positioning Cohesity.

We previously used Veeam and ExaGrid. We liked Veeam, but we did not see any innovation out of ExaGrid and they were becoming progressively more expensive. I was wary of vendor lock-in if we continued to invest in that platform. The speed of their solution was just not good enough for us.

Our previous solution which was Quest Rapid Recovery. We switched because of the performance, which is three times better with Cohesity.

I am also familiar with Rubrik.

I've also worked with Commvault and find that you do have to do a lot of fine-tuning with it during implementation. This solution is easier. Commvault is also a lot more expensive. Cohesity has a simpler workflow and for people in operations, it's a blessing. 

We previously used Backup Exec teamed with an IBM Tape Library for magnetic tape backups. Legacy IBM/NetApp and NETGEAR NAS devices were also replaced by Cohesity.

We have moved from Actifio Data Management and a Dell EMC Centera archiving solution to a Cohesity Cluster.

We used a previous solution. We switched because the ongoing maintenance costs were growing astronomically, and it was not really built for the virtual datacenter environment.

We were using Symantec. It was so expensive to add new hardware. We have more capacity on Cohesity than with the Symantec appliance.

We used EMC Data Domain and NetWorker. We switched because of cost, but also because of how hard it is to use EMC products. We do not need separate VMs with Cohesity to back up.

Yes, we did. Cohesity out performs our old system at a reduced cost as well.

We used to use Unitrends and wanted to get away from the following issues:

• Slow backup times
• Jobs randomly failing
• Poor and unresponsive UI
• Forklift upgrades (space issues)

Cohesity was able to resolve all of the above issues, no problem.

Prior to Cohesity, we used Actifio. It was an old solution and we wanted to switch to a new one.

• VMware Data Protection
• CrashPlan
• Windows Backup
• Local MSSQL backups

Yes, they were outdated and bad.

We used to use Commvault but we switched to Cohesity DataProtect mainly for cost reasons.

We also switched to Cohesity for the ability to backup to the Cloud. The version of Commvault that we were using at the time was tape-only, and we didn't want to pay Commvault to upgrade.

We've used multiple solutions in the past, most recently Veeam for VMware backup and doing long-term archiving to tape. We liked the built-in dedupe/compression features of Cohesity, the near-instant recovery, and the cloud archival options.

The solution we had before was not very reliable, not scalable, and the security was poor.

We used EMC NetWorker with Data Domain.

Compellent with Dell Compellent and Nimble storage was way too expensive.

Cohesity is simple to install, configure, and maintain. Our old system was very complex and did not integrate well with cloud backups.

Veeam, we came upon Cohesity while searching for scale-out storage.

Veeam/Commvault with Data Domain.

Yes we did but it could not backup complete environment, multiple systems.

We were looking to replace multiple backup solutions for physical servers and VMware virtual machines. Cohesity has been a one stop solution for us. 

Yes, we needed an easier virtual backup and recovery solution.

Yes IBM TSM. We switched because of licence costs and the old fashioned style of making backups in the virtual environment with an agent-based tool.

We were looking for a robust solution that gives us scalability and recovery.
