Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity Helios
We have 4 units spread across several data centers and on-premise locations. Two units used as a File Server and 2 units used as a repository for backups.
- Intuitive user Interface.
- Good reporting and metrics.
- Setup was not very easy, not intuitive.
- Ability for multi-tenant (VLAN) was not quite there yet.
- Positive impact on RIO esp. at the data reduction level.
- The multi-tenant setup has been a bit tough to implement.

Evaluating Cohesity Helios and Competitors
I personally believe that the backup software is better than Veeam so far. I have not delved into it as much as I have with Veeam yet, but so far easier to use. Much better as a back-end than both Dell EMC and PV due to the data reduction.
