Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity DataProtect

We use Cohesity DataProtect as our backup and disaster recovery solution for our multisite environment. We backup physical machines, virtual machines, and all of our databases using it. Cohesity DataProtect allows us to store all of our data in multiple locations with cross site replication and archives the cloud and keeps all of the data safe with immutability and encryption. The UI and reporting makes it easy to report to provide easy to follow information to the higherups. We utilize Helios with Cohesity DataProtect, to have complete control over the appliances from a single pane of glass.
  • Efficient backups
  • Deduplication saves space and allows for more storage on the appliance
  • Recoveries are quick
  • No calendar based scheduling
  • Backing up of databases can be clunky
  • Through cross site replication we have been able to recover rebuild an offsite location locally due to system failures at the remote location.
  • Quick restoration of VMs that housed our platform allowed our website to get back up quickly. Extended downtime could have cost tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
Cohesity DataProtect provides a much more reliable solution. The deduplication that happens is second to none and I've never worked with anything like it. So much time and space is saved by the appliance along with the Cohesity DataProtect magic.

Yes

Cohesity DataProtect is a very robust solution that suits the needs of large companies. Protecting multiple locations is made simple and replication between multiple appliances makes recovery very easy in a worst case scenario. Smaller companies might find it to be overkill or out of the price range for what their needs are. The solution is top notch but is higher on the price scale.
