Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity
It all started with one Cohesity box, and currently we have 8 fully populated systems across locations. Cohesity is a blend of cost-effective storage designed for secondary or archival data, and integrates well with a number of other systems like Vmware, PureStorage, or AWS with its large array of APIs available to the user. We are using it for backing up VMs, indexing data, and restoring data, and it's lightning fast. At the same time the data compression and dedup is robust and best among the products we came across.
- Backing data (VMs , physical servers, NFS volumes, Pure storage volumes, etc.)
- Running splunk cold buckets.
- FIles and folder level restoration.
- Disaster recovery planning and replication.
- Support.
- Stable releases.
- Bug fixes.
- Savings from a unified platform to manage secondary and archival data.
- Savings from retiring older tape backup solution, which had very high licensing and running costs.
- Offloading snapshots from costly tier 1 storage to Cohesity.
- NFS/SMB shares replaces the older file storage.
- Help with disaster recovery planning and implementation.
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam was more like a normal backup solution. Cohesity is a unified suite for managing secondary data, and backup is just a feature. We were able to get a lot more functionalities from Cohesity, apart from just back up. Also, pricing for Cohesity was much more reasonable with better payment terms.
