How Alternatives Are Selected

1. Veeam Data Platform

4.6

As Head IT, my primary goal was to replace legacy backup complexity with a unified, hardware agnostic solution that could grow with our investment operations. We chose Veeam data platform for its reputation in the virtualized space and its flexible VUL licensing. From the initial planning phase to full deployment, the experience has been transformative. This has shifted our team from 'managing backups' to ensuring data availability.Read all insights and reviews for Veeam Data Platform

2. Cohesity DataProtect

4.7

The trial period was great; we were able to leverage the virtual edition to fully test features before bringing the actual hardware onsite for a POC. The solution has worked well and has outclassed our previous setup in both ease of use as well as efficiency and speed. *UPDATE* In this update I would like to share my experience with hardware support from Cohesity, as our units have now been in service for over 5 years. I received a notification from the system that the expected lifespan of one of the solid state drives was now down to 20%. Cohesity proactively replaced every one of our nodes, one at a time, so there was zero downtime to our backup cluster. This was unexpected and very welcome. They do stand behind their hardware as well as their software. I'm updating my rating of service and support to 5 stars because of this. *UPDATE 2* As a further update we have now retired our original cluster and installed a new cluster. The new cluster increased network speed, node count, and capacity. I think this is the highest compliment a review can give - we liked the solution enough to vote with our wallet a second time. *UPDATE 3* We continue to have great success with our cluster. Support has been helpful when we need them. I'm looking forward to future enhancements concerning additional hypervisors.Read all insights and reviews for Cohesity DataProtect

3. Druva Data Security Cloud

4.9

The Tech support at Druva is one of the best I have encountered over the 34 years in the business. It is a pleasure to speak with them and their willingness to go out of their way to resolve any issue until it is done correctly. The product works and has been very reliable . I started with their onsite services, and slowly migrated to the cloud. In fact they were one of my first CLOUD based solutions. Which gave me confidence to allow more of our IT infrastructure to venture to the cloud.Read all insights and reviews for Druva Data Security Cloud

Overall very pleased and happy with the Cohesity solution. We went through a lengthy evaluation and vetting process.
