We performed a comparison between Cohesity DataProtect and Quest NetVault 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."Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up."
"We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"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's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The user interface is good."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"Cohesity DataProtect can improve in the area of databases. We have had some challenges with both Cohesity and Rubrik being able to effectively back up in a timely manner the SQL Oracle workloads."
"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."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"Physical RDMs on virtual machines could be a bit easier to configure and plan out."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"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."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
