Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity Helios
We are an MSP in the Netherlands. We use Cohesity to back-up all our own systems and a lot of systems of our customers. We offer back-up as a service for our customers with Cohesity. The interface and scalability makes it very easy for us to provide back-up as a service.
For either ourselves or our customers it helps in the business continuity and disaster recovery. We can restore files/folders/VM's very quickly when needed.

- Easy to learn
- Scalability
- Folder/File Restores
- Support
- In the first few years the software parts could use some improvement, it is getting better with every update though.
- The layout of how to implement Cohesity needs to be thought of before hand. Changing it after implementation is time consuming.
Overall Satisfaction Continued
- Positive - because we deliver backup as a service and the time we need to manage the back-ups for our customers has improved a lot.
- Negative - Cohesity is a little more sensitive for bugs which might result in backups failing in the night.
- Positive - the scalability of our backup solution has improved a lot.
- Veeam Backup & Replication and Rubrik
We used Veeam, but we ran into scalability issues; also managing everything was very time consuming. So we started looking for something else. We looked into Rubrik and Cohesity. We got a PoC for Cohesity and we were immediately happy with the options. When we put Rubric and Cohesity features against each other there was not much difference.
Since we already had a Cohesity PoC we decided to go for Cohesity.
