- 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.

Great Product That Does What It Is Supposed To
- Intuitive user Interface.

- Indexed dedup while staying compressed and encrypted at rest and in-transit.

- We've seen a drastic reduction in our replication traffic for off-site data protection.
- Seamless archival to Azure blob storage.
