"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"I like the tool's speed."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."

"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"The product is easy to put in place. All backups are done very quickly. It's easy to perform restores. What I prefer in the product is its simplicity. There are no useless settings to define, and everything is ready after the initial setup."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."

"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."

"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."

"The GUI is in need of improvement."
"Initial setup can be complex if you need to change IP addresses. Hopefully, they improve that in a future release."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."
"Cohesity cluster upgrades have not been as easy as a single button click. They are a manual process that requires upgrading each node into a cluster individually."
"Physical RDMs on virtual machines could be a bit easier to configure and plan out."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
