Pros

“Once configured, it has delivered consistent backups without issues, and the combination of scheduling, versioning and notifications makes it feel like excellent value for the price.”
JE

Jamie E.

Analyst

“As well as using iDrive for remote access of my data when I'm on another device on the go, I have fully retrieved my data when a device failed (PC and laptop), without the need to get a tech to pull the data out for me.”
KC

Kimberly C.

Certified Online Business Manager

“Overall, it has some lacks in the storage like syncing, fast access. But, at the same time the pricing is good”

Cons

“My home internet service maxes out at 10mpbs upload speeds, which was making my initial backup of over 300gb of files take a long time.”
RB

Robert B.

Host, Producer

“My upload speed to iDrive cloud backup is unusually slow, causing significant delays in backing up my files.”
HL

Haixun L.

Development Expert

“Barely acceptable upload speed of small files and terrible upload speed of files over few gigabytes.”
KR

Kacper R.

Freelancer

Cons

“I feel pricing of Cohesity products are on a higher side and long backup times makes it not the best product in the market right now.”

Data Scientist

“The tool seems like it is in it's infancy - restoring is more difficult than it needs to be and the "instant recovery" seems great in theory, but the vMotion aspect takes way too long to be usable in our capacity.”

“Many of the features are flaky and require constant monitoring / case opening to resolve. ”
