"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.

This bodes well for us, and our end users are always amazed at how fast you can get them their files.""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.""The SQL Backup and Restore is very easy.""Its flexibility is the most valuable.

Cons
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems.""The user experience needs a little refreshing touch.""We need more options for the backup schedule.""I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."

"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex.""In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity.""We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup.""When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again.""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.""It would be great to add SQL ​Object Level restore, so user objects, tables, etc. can be restored without having to restore the entire DB.""I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume.""We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."

  • "Licensing is per node and per protected terabyte. You will also pay 10-15% annually for support."
