Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity

With our move to M365 we needed a solution to backup our Microsoft Online Data. Cohesity provided a solution that required no tool or agent installed onto our on-premise infrastructure. Everything is hosted via cloud which was ideal for to reduce our on-premise footprint.

Pros

  • Complete Cloud Solution
  • Easy to use Interface
  • Restoration of deleted items made seemless.

Cons

  • Include a dashboard that tells you how many of your licences have been used.
  • Separate Live mailbox and Archive mailbox backups
  • Some Errors could be made a bit more clear.
  • We've a few occasions where Outlook items have been permanently deleted. Cohesity Backup had mulitple backups allowing us to restore the lost items.
  • Can be managed by O365 Security Groups meaning offboarding is easier and ensuring licences aren't take unneccesarily
  • Backup of Sharepoint and Teams has been very helpful.
The user interface is intuitive and I haven't needed to log a support ticket with the Cohesity Teams since deployment. Everything is clearly outlined or labelled to tell you what option does what.
Veeam Required installation on one of our on prem servers which ideally, we did not want. We are trying to reduce our on-prem footprint and Cohesity provided a solution that was completely cloud based.
