Easy to use, offers good scalability and responsive support

What is our primary use case?

We use not only DataProtect but also the platform and all the service subscriptions to manage both data protection and other services like SmartFiles.

Our customers use it to replace other data protection solutions, not only for the orchestration of the process but also for the data repository.

With Cohesity, we have one solution for managing data protection. We also have a very useful storage system to be used, not only as a static repository but also for test environments and so on.

What is most valuable?

The product is quite simple and user-friendly, without limitations on scalability. And, it's a very good product if a customer wants to have total governance of their data.

We use Cohesity extensively, not just for a few products but in most of our SmartFile deployments. So, many of our customers use it both as a file service and a repository for DataProtect processes.

We use Cohesity to sell and implement the liquidity solution to our customers.

What needs improvement?

As a Cohesity partner, I won the Best Cohesity Sales Engineer award in 2023. My team discussed, essentially, improving Cohesity reporting because that's a feature gap I feel could really enhance the product.

Reporting is quite limited and not customizable. Many customers can't access specific numbers or insights regarding their daily data protection, something competitors like Veeam integrate quite seamlessly.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In my experience, it is quite a stable product. Similar to Citrix, we typically do basic checks before implementing new features or patches. In terms of completing operations for customers, the continuity loss is less than 3%.

We have around 30 customers using it.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support are fast and professional, and we have a dedicated support colleague who acts as a DataProtect wizard, confidently handling any issues we can't resolve ourselves.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment depends on the environment. Deploying on VMs is relatively simple. But for most of our customers, we implement physical clusters with at least three configured hosts using the existing model. So, it depends on the setup.

Implementing DataProtect itself wasn't particularly challenging. One key requirement for successful DataProtect deployment is proper network configuration. If the network setup isn't right, you won't achieve optimal performance.

We have developed a service for some of our customers where they implement an appliance or physical cluster of Cohesity at the customer site.

Then, we use cloud clustering to replicate, and even in production, a second copy of the protected data. And in some cases, we have developed some disaster recovery procedures using Cohesity.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price could be better. It could seem better, not necessarily bad, but not great, either.

We partner with Cohesity in Italy and have a strong collaboration. So, when we propose Cohesity to potential new customers, we talk directly with Cohesity to get the best possible price and make everyone happy.

What other advice do I have?

I am an implementor, so I've prebuilt for this scope. And I put it in your environment. Then, I will ask the configurer to check.

And then I give you the the toy to play with.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

A highly scalable solution that can be used for data protection and data management platforms

  • December 01, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use Cohesity DataProtect mainly for our data protection and data management platform. We are evaluating Cohesity DataProtect against a few other solutions in the market.

What is most valuable?

Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection. Given the market landscape around the cybersecurity portfolio, it would be really interesting to see how it evolves.

What needs improvement?

The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Cohesity DataProtect for a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Cohesity DataProtect an eight out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Cohesity DataProtect a nine out of ten for scalability.

How are customer service and support?

As far as I can remember, my team did not face many issues with the solution's technical support.

How was the initial setup?

The solution’s initial setup was pretty straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

I didn't install the solution myself. Another team, consisting of two to three engineers, installed the solution smoothly without any issues. The solution's deployment should not take more than a day or two.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate Cohesity DataProtect an eight out of ten.

What is our primary use case?

Cohesity DataProtect is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
