Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"This solution is easy to manage."
"Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
"It has a lightning fast restore."
"We are looking forward to the next release, so we can take advantage of the AHV backup for our Nutanix environment."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"Scalability is very good."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"The tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected. One feature that would greatly improve our experience with the product is the ability to identify data redundancies through a central console. This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"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."
"Features I would like to see include a more visible data lifecycle monitoring tab, and an easier to read backup status dashboard."
"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."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
