Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity
It was easy to implement and do a POC. After it was shown to be the superior product it was easy to flip to production.
Issues have been dealt with promptly or put on the roadmap for a future release. Backup and restore became as easy as they're supposed to be.

- The various ways to quickly reover data. Cloning and instant volume mounts (Exchange restores) have been great options.
- Ability to use it as secondary storage for VMDK's that don't need to be on Tier 1.
- Using it as a NAS device.
- Ability to backup Isilon!
- Mainly cosmetic stuff that is currently being addressed.
- Expiration times for clones.
- Being able to use next-generation technology to simplify backups and restores has achieved time savings and the ability to train new users.
- Using it to house secondary data that doesn't need to live on Tier 1.
Versus the legacy options, Cohesity blows them out of the water on simplicity and value for the product. The searching and restore options are fantastic. Being able to simply add to the cluster without any downtime has been great, along with no secondary heads to run the backups. Compared to Rubrick, the ability to do more than just backups helped put Cohesity over the top.
