"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product is easy to put in place. All backups are done very quickly. It's easy to perform restores. What I prefer in the product is its simplicity. There are no useless settings to define, and everything is ready after the initial setup."
"We can run test scripts on production data."
"I have found that the speed of restores, especially files and folders, are extremely fast. This bodes well for us, and our end users are always amazed at how fast you can get them their files."
"It makes our administrators' lives much easier to combine backup, archiving, and services like hosting file shares in one central system with only one user interface."
"The four independent node cluster architecture is redundant. It maintains data integrity and load balancing."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The GUI is in need of improvement."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"Many of the reports are basic, at most, and at times we had to open a support ticket to help find or develop a report for our needs."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"Physical RDMs on virtual machines could be a bit easier to configure and plan out."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
