Cohesity vs. TrilioVault

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.

I like the fact that you can easily restore your workloads on-demand with a cloud-native backup and recovery platform. Also, the roadmap and future vision it promises seem appealing to me as a recent user, and despite the fact that it receives regular updates, this remains one of the few OpenStack solutions that actually work. I can't find any faults other than thinking that when the free trial ends, will I really purchase the pro version (if available by then)? However, it is a flexible and scalable solution for your business.

• 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.

• By using it, I was able to improve my business' compliance & risk management.
• As a result, you are able to think and drive innovation at work.
• Performance and functionality of the Product meet my expectations.

• 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)

• In order to deploy TrilioVault, you should plan accordingly because the process is time-consuming.
• It could cost a little less than what it is up for at the moment.
• I have no other complains as the app works well with OpenStack.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With Veeam, these are some of the things that I found are not applicable to Triliovault: The database can sometimes get errors, especially if the workstation's name changes. Depending on your infrastructure and what you run, it can be expensive. It can only be installed on the server because it's a super heavy application.

• 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.

• Agentless, scalable, self-service architecture for cloud-native applications.
• Providing easy snapshot, backup, and restore operations and seamless deployment.
• The user defined retention period must be reached before backups can be deleted.
