Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity Helios
Cohesity is used to replace our older backup and archive solutions because they are too old and expensive.
We currently mainly use it to back up our VMWare virtual desktop and server environment. We are also archiving our Microsoft Exchange email environment to the Cohesity cluster. It could also be a potential solution in the future for file server archiving.

- Easy setup of backup policies within the UI
- Creation of backup jobs is very straightforward with all necessary options but without being overloaded
- Grouping of backups to backup groups makes admins live much easier
- Restore of files and VMs is very easy
Overall Satisfaction Continued
- We could reduce running costs by decommissioning our old backup and archive environment.
- Cheaper to buy than to extend existing support contracts.
Cohesity is more flexible in sizing, supports more protocols and can cover our needs easily. It supports NFS archiving without the need for an additional "translating-gateway" like many other products need.
It's easily scalable. You have everything (Hardware, Software, Engineering and Support) from one supplier. No need for 3rd party support.

Not Sure
We had problem with restore of a VM due to a wrong VMWware setting. Cohesity support invested a lot of time and even it was not directly their responsibility, they solved that for us!
