We performed a comparison between Cohesity DataProtect and Druva Phoenix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its flexibility is the most valuable. Being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place. It has good high availability, and it is also easy to maintain."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easily manageable, and you can see every option from the user interface."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The four independent node cluster architecture is redundant. It maintains data integrity and load balancing."
"This solution is easy to manage."
"It's completely reliable and easy to restore."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"Once you set it up and you tell it exactly what needs to be backed up, you literally forget about it. It sends you emails and notifications of the current status of the jobs."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"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 platform has certain limitations, mostly stemming from the restrictions imposed by the VMware API and some other factors. One area where there is room for improvement is the tracking of replicated copies, especially in the context of remote archive duplication."
"I think Cohesity could add more platform support. For example, they could improve integration with DB2 or make the integration S3 object storage a little tighter. Some of that stuff could use some work, but overall, it's a relatively comprehensive platform."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"Features I would like to see include a more visible data lifecycle monitoring tab, and an easier to read backup status dashboard."
"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."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
"They were able to give us a very reasonable price considering we were non-for-profit organizations, however, there is always room for improvement on that cost."
"Druva Phoenix is optimized to work with x86 platforms, making it unsuitable for backing up non-x86 architectures like AIX. The solution is primarily designed for physical Linux and Windows systems based on the x86 architecture, as well as virtualized Windows and Linux environments. However, if you have an AIX system, it cannot be deployed in the cloud, and therefore, backing it up in the cloud is not a concern."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
