Considered Both Products	Cohesity PJ Patrick Jaramillo Systems, Infrastructure and Network Engineer Chose Cohesity Veeam Required installation on one of our on prem servers which ideally, we did not want. We are trying to reduce our on-prem footprint and Cohesity provided a solution that was completely cloud based. Incentivized Helpful? TM Tom Mockus Director of IT Chose Cohesity We selected Rubrik for two reasons. The first was an already existing relationship with the 3rd party VAR that recommended Cohesity.

TS Tomasz Schabowski ICT Manager Chose Cohesity 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.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Cohesity Rubrik. We currently use Rubrik for backups and we use Cohesity for NAS.

User Testimonials
	Cohesity	Veeam Backup for Salesforce
Likelihood to Recommend	Cohesity is very well suited to protecting virtualised workloads and is a significant improvement over IBM Spectrum Protect which we’ve replaced by Cohesity. We also protect a Netapp workload and whilst the on-prem side works really well careful planning of protection jobs is needed if you’ll be archiving these to Cloud.

Pros	The simplicity of the solution and the support behind implementation, training, and continued support. 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. How fast the solution works. When it comes to implementation (which is done in an hour or so) to backups, to actual recoveries, everything is just quick. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Reporting could always be better- executive-style reports have to be generated from data at multiple points. Some tasks that could be brought to the UI that today we have to call support on (for example when an NFS mount is still active but we cannot see it from the UI) Jamie Orth FVP, Director of Systems Engineering Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	We have been very pleased with this backup solution. It is fast and reliable, and supports our VMware infrastructure. The company's support has been great, including proactively replacing our nodes when the flash memory was reporting high wear. Support is offered on-shore as well. We plan on continuing to use this product for the foreseeable future. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	The Cohesity platform with its user interface is easy to implement, rack space-saving, and easy to use on a daily business basis. Backup jobs and policies are easy to define, multiple machines and objects can be grouped for the same tasks. In general, Cohesity makes backup admins' lives much easier. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Support is quick to respond but lacks that ongoing responsiveness if the issue is not simple. There will be large gaps in replies if they need to resort to escalation and when there are timezone differences between yourself and the person who picked up the ticket.

Alternatives Considered	We looked at Veeam and although it's a great product when we priced out the licensing of both primary and disaster datacenters it became much too expensive. Rubrik is a great product and very similar to Cohesity. In the end, Cohesity had a secondary storage play as well as a better UI and better compatibility with lower tier cloud storage. We also like the way Cohesity did protection jobs vs Rubrik's virtual machine centric backup. CommVault is a product we still use today due to its massive features and the ability for bare metal backups. Cohesity does a much better job in the area of UI simplicity, virtual backup ease, and ease of management. Incentivized Kris Olson Systems Administrator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Cost savings from having to purchase and manage physical tapes, as well as the man-hours to swap them in and out and store them off site. Extremely fast recovery times, can bring up a restored VM back in our environment in under a minute. Get back up and running much quicker. Simplifies our disaster recovery strategy. Initial cost can be pricey depending on your storage needs. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
