Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is easy."
"Within the system, we have rule-based access control, single sign-on, multifactor authentication, and basic identity and access management features."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"The dashboard is very easy to use."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"Cohesity cluster upgrades have not been as easy as a single button click. They are a manual process that requires upgrading each node into a cluster individually."
"We would like it to have more capabilities for different kinds of PaaS or SaaS services in the Azure cloud, such as Azure SQL or Azure Cosmos DB."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
"The error handling could be improved."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"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."
"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."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"The challenge is that we can't restore a single file from the VM in the data process when we do VM backups. But with Commvault, you can restore a single file even if you have a VM snapshot package. That's one drawback of this tool. When we do VM backups, it should help us browse the VMs to restore a single file instead of doing the complete VM restore."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better."
"Virtualization."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"OpenText Data Protector is more difficult to use and configure than OpenText VIM. The user-friendliness of OpenText Data Protector has to be increased, and the complexity of the tool needs to be reduced."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability."
