We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and Cohesity DataProtect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"The replication in the recovery region is the most valuable feature."
"The ease of use and the GUI have really been most valuable to us. Configuring the system to do what we need is simple and straight forward and a lot of guesswork has been removed. One of my favorite features with Cohesity is Kroll for Exchange item-level recovery. The software is simple to use and fast."
"I love the ability to clone a virtual server in only minutes."
"The dashboard is very easy to use."
"The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"We are looking forward to the next release, so we can take advantage of the AHV backup for our Nutanix environment."
"By using their Helios Cloud service, you have all your clusters, no matter where they are located, in one web portal."
"The implementation and training are all done through the sales engineer, which provides for a seamless and great experience when it comes to starting with a new vendor."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"The tool is a good fit if your environment is VM-specific. However, it might not be the most suitable option if you have physical servers or an on-premise setup."
"It could be less expensive."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement. We would be very excited if we can see some reporting, such as trends. We do understand that there are reports available for S3 Bucket, in which the AWS backend stores the data. However, if we can receive holistic reporting, then it would be very helpful for us."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"The platform has certain limitations, mostly stemming from the restrictions imposed by the VMware API and some other factors. One area where there is room for improvement is the tracking of replicated copies, especially in the context of remote archive duplication."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"Cohesity DataProtect can improve in the area of databases. We have had some challenges with both Cohesity and Rubrik being able to effectively back up in a timely manner the SQL Oracle workloads."
"It would be great to add SQL Object Level restore, so user objects, tables, etc. can be restored without having to restore the entire DB."
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
