    Being an existing customer of Veeam for the VMware platform and having years of experience dealing with licensing and customer support, drove us to select Veeam backup for AWS. Cohesity licensing was very complicated and did not fit into our budget.

    Cohesity
    Cohesity has been awesome. The performance (speed) that it has been able to provide has actually given me back time every month. I have to test my backups monthly, and the Cloning process that Cohesity has available from it's backup has given me days back each month. It just a few minutes I can have VMs restored for testing and documentation. This took a couple days with the previous vendor.

    I like the idea of using this product for backups and cold storage. This allows for long retention times and a very low cost. The ability to quickly restore and the efficiency of all the products involved. I haven't come across scenarios where it isn't appropriate. I don't have a lot of experience so for me, it works well in my cases.

    Pros
    Cohesity
    • Easy to use and setup new backup and restore jobs.
    • Extremely fast recovery time, can spin a VMware backup VM up in well under a minute.
    • Granular recovery search options, easy to find specific files or systems to recover (or SQL DB).

    Cons
    Cohesity
    • Reporting could always be better- executive-style reports have to be generated from data at multiple points.
    • Some tasks that could be brought to the UI that today we have to call support on (for example when an NFS mount is still active but we cannot see it from the UI)

    Veeam Software
    • We have never managed to use Veeam for Azure or GCP. It works well with AWS.
    • A client needed a multi-cloud DR solution management but we had a security issue and could find a solution from Veeam Backup for AWS.
    • Usually, you need a dedicated resource to monitor when the number of workloads is high. That adds to the cost.

    We have been very pleased with this backup solution. It is fast and reliable, and supports our VMware infrastructure. The company's support has been great, including proactively replacing our nodes when the flash memory was reporting high wear. Support is offered on-shore as well. We plan on continuing to use this product for the foreseeable future.

    We have been using Veeam Backup for AWS for our cloud hosted solutions for the last several years and will continue to do so. The ease of use and available support staff make the learning curve for use nearly flat in our case and having Veeam Backup for on-premise workloads makes the decision easy.

    Usability
    Cohesity
    Cohesity Helios is very easy to use and the web up is simple to navigate and the main dashboard presents a very good and clear overview summary of protection status, capacity and other vital metrics. If you have multiple clusters you can get a single pane view of overall status which is awesome.

    The UI and the integration is good with the product. so far
    has not encountered any major challenges while using the UI. of course, this is
    user perspective. Few users suggested some different view that it should be
    change father should have some different options but overall the feedback about
    UI is positive and no major issues encountered by using the UI or forsake of
    this usability.

    We have not really noticed much difference and only notice it when doing work afterhours with our veeam being backed up. However, this is not the case as we do not do this often and hence we don't really have any real challenges for performance issues. Overall, we find that the performance is pretty good

    Support is quick to respond but lacks that ongoing responsiveness if the issue is not simple. There will be large gaps in replies if they need to resort to escalation and when there are timezone differences between yourself and the person who picked up the ticket.

    One of the best and leading backup solution with central management for all Virtual Servers, Physical servers and Application level backup. Migrated from distributed backup solution running at each site to central VEEAM solution which has reduced overhead of backup administrator and improves the backup performance. Veeam team is very supportive in solution design, taken care of all our requirements and provided the cost effective solution.

    We were pretty happy with our implementation as it was simple to deploy and we followed the technical guide online with out much technical assistance from vendor support. We had also tested and streamlined a process based on our own documentation for our own company which was simple to follow overall for deploying into AWS for future instances

    Cohesity
    We looked at Veeam and although it's a great product when we priced out the licensing of both primary and disaster datacenters it became much too expensive. Rubrik is a great product and very similar to Cohesity. In the end, Cohesity had a secondary storage play as well as a better UI and better compatibility with lower tier cloud storage. We also like the way Cohesity did protection jobs vs Rubrik's virtual machine centric backup. CommVault is a product we still use today due to its massive features and the ability for bare metal backups. Cohesity does a much better job in the area of UI simplicity, virtual backup ease, and ease of management.

    I had looked at N2WS Backup & Recovery backup and disaster recovery solution for AWS environments. But while it provides similar backup and recovery capabilities as Veeam Backup for AWS, it lacks some of the advanced features such as instant VM recovery, file-level recovery, and integration with Veeam Backup & Replication.

    Overall Cohesity professional services like the rest of Cohesity are brilliant. We had some poor advice around how to carve up our Netapp protection jobs which has set us back but it has been acknowledged that a mistake was made by Cohesity and they promise for future engagements with new customers the lessons learnt with us will be integrated into their planning workshop for NAS onboarding.

    Return on Investment
    Cohesity
    • We've a few occasions where Outlook items have been permanently deleted. Cohesity Backup had mulitple backups allowing us to restore the lost items.
    • Can be managed by O365 Security Groups meaning offboarding is easier and ensuring licences aren't take unneccesarily
    • Backup of Sharepoint and Teams has been very helpful.

    • The only thing is that you have to make sure you understand your AWS costs if your retention periods are not kept under control.
    • ROI is hard to prove until the moment you need to restore your workload.
    • Time-saving is something that comes to mind. Before Veeam, we used to spend/waste a lot of time verifying and testing our backup and restore. Veeam makes it easy with its SureBackup technology.
