Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity DataProtect

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cohesity Helios Backup to the Cloud and Office 365 Backup. We now have reliable offline backups and incremental immutable backups. It provides mission-critical backup and restore. O365 backup comes useful when it emails go "missing" - easy to operate interface helps us quickly recover what's needed. We never had to use any other services and we hope it will stay this way.

Alternatives Considered

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

One of our system's database's become corrupt under the update. We have used Cohesity DataProtect to restore/download and mount the database to the server. The whole operation was very easy as you can download any files backed up to the cloud by download rather than full restore. The whole time taken to restore the database was much less than the other systems.
