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."It is very stable."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"It's simple to set up."
"I have found that the speed of restores, especially files and folders, are extremely fast. This bodes well for us, and our end users are always amazed at how fast you can get them their files."
"Cohesity has simplified backups and has cut our costs tremendously."
"The ability to essentially instantly recover a VM and have it run on the Cohesity Platform while all those bits are technically being recovered in the background is useful to us."
"Several features enable us to perform fast recovery, such as instant fast recovery. All our virtual machines protected with the product can be quickly restored to another healthy environment with minimal downtime for our main customers. These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives."
"It has a lightning fast restore."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."
"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The initial setup was complex."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"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."
"Cohesity cluster upgrades have not been as easy as a single button click. They are a manual process that requires upgrading each node into a cluster individually."
"We would like it to have more capabilities for different kinds of PaaS or SaaS services in the Azure cloud, such as Azure SQL or Azure Cosmos DB."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
