Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity Helios

Cohesity is being used by the infrastructure department as a backup solution for all our customers across the country.
  • Scale out storage
  • Support
  • Easy to use
  • Price / Performance ratio
  • KB-articles
  • Better third party plugins
  • Multitenancy support
It's well suited as a scale-out back-up solution, where you can easily add more nodes to a cluster for extra backup storage. It's less appropriate in areas where multiple customers need access to the web interface, as there is currently no multitenancy support.

Overall Satisfaction Continued

  • Restores are faster than before
  • Easy to expand storage
Veeam has probably more options as in data sources, but for us there were some key components where Cohesity stands out: scale out storage, easy to expand, actively updates, very good support staff and an interesting roadmap and active development. If we compare to the multitenancy area of Cohesity and Veeam, we are still waiting for Cohesity to fully implement multitenancy; but the price model is better than the Veeam Enterprise so that's a big win for us.
