Cohesity Data Back Up
We selected Rubrik for two reasons. The first was an already existing relationship with the 3rd party VAR that recommended Cohesity. The second was the low cost of Cohesity to back up our data center in a short amount of time also. I am not sure they are the strongest product but they are of good value.

Cluster based storage and backup solution
- Veeam Backup for Azure, Veeam Backup for AWS, Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED) and Druva Data Resiliency Cloud
Easy to manage and faster to implement and we have the total control of our backup deployment, and we can fine tune as per our business needs and Cohesity gives all the option for implementing the same. Cluster based storage and backup solution and option to manage multiple cluster from a single management pane

Rubrik. We currently use Rubrik for backups and we use Cohesity for NAS. Cohesity has been good for small NAS workloads if you are already using it for backups as well. It seems to be the jack of many trades and they are constantly adding more features and functionality. Overall we are pleased for this application.

Cohesity - A Versatile and Easy to Use Backup Solution.
First and foremost is that due to Cohesity being able to support different types of backup, Cohesity reduces the need to use different products, and since most of the stuff can be done from the GUI, it is very easy to use as well, unlike, let's say TSM on which we will have to use CLI. Configuring Cohesity is also easy, whereas Commvault has many limitations on how it needs to be configured.
Cohesity provided more features out of the box and not all they extra licensing to enable. The performance that Cohesity was able to provide was the main reason for our decision to change our backup solution to a new product instead of increasing our foot print with our previous backup solution.

it went down to 3 top companies and even thou Cohesity was not the cheapest when we compared the recovery time and options Cohesity was really standing out. On top of that, it was the first solution with Teams and Group-based SharePoint backup as an option. OneDrive backups is a really nice option as well.

At the time of purchase, we had looked at Rubrik and StorageCraft (prior to Arcserve acquisition). Rubrik at the time seemed relatively comparable in terms of backup features but did not have the ability to provide unstructured data shares. Rubrik was also substantially more money. StorageCraft felt like a strong value play but didn't feel like it had the depth or breadth of Cohesity.

Cohesity won out against all others based on speed, capacity, features, and cost. Being able to demo the unit with a VM was extremely helpful -- we were able to get real-world compression and dedupe values without on-prem hardware during our POC. We appreciated the ease of sending backup copies to the cloud for disaster protection as well. The service and support have also been top-notch.

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.

Veeam worked well for us but we wanted an 'all-in-one' product that was easy to manage. Veeam has a lot of similar functionality but you have to provide a server and storage for it.

Cohesity simplifies the environment by having data protect along with clustered storage and configurable in a multi-site environment for easy off-site requirements, including cloud integration. The HTML5 interface outshines Veeam and NetBackup, which look like dinosaurs compared to Cohesity. The dedupe and compression ratios are second to none in the industry, allowing us to reduce our data center power and cooling footprint.

Cohesity DataProtect, an intuitive backup solution
- Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery
Cohesity DataProtect is vastly simpler to use. Its interface is much more intuitive. Being that Cohesity DataProtect can be an applicance-based solution, deploying it is much simpler. Also, Cohesity DataProtect can provide the hardware so there is a single vendor for both hardware and software issues.

We replaced Barracuda with Cohesity. Barracuda was a nightmare to manage and was not very reliable. Rubrik is highly similar to Cohesity from a features perspective, but the sales and support personnel at Rubrik were unpleasant to deal with compared to Cohesity. With Rubrik the engagement was high pressure and transactional - I felt like I was dealing with used car salesmen, while Cohesity has always been more interested in a true partnership type relationship.

- IBM Spectrum Protect, Veeam Backup & Replication and Rubrik
IBM is good but it´s old and really big and not easy to manage. And the License fees and so are worth it. Veeam I have a look on and 4 years ago I selected Cohesity because it was easier to manage, dedup was better and it is one hyperconverged infrastructure. Rubrik is or was similar to Cohesity. But they are not so good in Data management on the boxes

Cohesity - It just works
- Veritas NetBackup and Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery
Cohesity is faster and much easier to use and understand than any of the other products. Plus, to the best of my knowledge, the others don't let you use their platform for hosting datastores for ESXi.

Cohesity is cheaper as compared to other legacy backup products. It has easy and simple hardware & software installation, easy management, and comes with lots of modern era features. Cohesity comes with built-in features like reports, offers lots of additional apps in their app store (some free and need to pay for few), Helios Cluster Management and Ransomware protect are two good features.
