Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"The cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"The SQL Backup and Restore is very easy."
"We are looking forward to the next release, so we can take advantage of the AHV backup for our Nutanix environment."
"I love the ability to clone a virtual server in only minutes."
"The most valuable aspect for me is that I don't have to deal with media in terms of tapes like our existing system does."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"Instead of four different solutions for protecting VMs, physical servers, SQL, and NAS, we now have one solution with Cohesity that is lightning fast and has amazing features."
"The customer service and support are fast and professional."
"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"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 error handling could be improved."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
