Cohesity - A Versatile and Easy to Use Backup Solution.
- Cohesity is very easy to use.
- Cohesity is versatile, we can backup all type of environment.
- Cohesity is very flexible, it can very easy deployed in any region.
- The support quality can be improved.
- The tool is still not mature, so we end up doing a lot of troubleshooting.
- The turnaround time for resolving an issue should be improved.
- Fast Backups
- Really Fast Restores
- Immutable File System
- Currently have no issues with the product
- If I had to come up with one item, I do have to restore VM's to physical hardware from time to time for deployment testing. I have to use a 3rd party product to deploy a backup to a bare-metal item. This would be a nice feature if it was native to Cohesity.
- I wish I would have heard of Cohesity years ago and not about 3 years ago. I could have used them about 10 years ago.

- VMware protection, plain and simple.
- Consolidation of native SQL backups to a centralized console based platform.
- Clean and elegant UI that any engineer only needs a small level of knowledge to master.
- 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)

Highly reliable backups and a true partnership with Cohesity
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
- Ease of use - the platform is simple to manage and does not require a lot of daily care and feeding by my administrators
- Reliable - the platform is able to protect my workloads reliably without a lot of backup failures
- Great support - the Cohesity team has been a partner to us throughout our use of the solution, taking our feedback and implementing it as improvements to the platform.
- Innovative - the Cohesity team is consistently working to improve the product and add new capabilities.
- The abilities of the SaaS-based solution - Data Management as a Service still have some room for improvement, especially in the area of backing up cloud-based workloads.
- Releases can sometimes have bugs - always good to wait on rolling out new releases until the kinks have been worked out.
- Delivery of fixes for known issues sometimes takes longer than I would like

Cohesity - It just works
- We use replication heavily to get data from one site to another, letting us get data out of areas that are more subject to natural disasters.
- The user interface for Cohesity is simple and easy to use; folks that don't use it often have no problem picking it up quickly.
- We attempted to use the archive feature to copy data to AWS, but this hasn't really worked out well for us.
- I wish they would run a mailing list that informed of new versions or problems that others are seeing with the product.

- Helios added additional report and management of two or more clusters.
- The schedule reports is handy to have and setup to ensure backups are running without erros.
- We had issues with Hyper-v. But that was windows issue not really cohesity issue.
