Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Cohesity customer service is the best that I have ever used. They are extremely fast in responding to cases, fixed all issues, and answered every question in a very timely manner."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"I found value in the instant recovery with DataMove. I found value in the protection group model for applying policies to VMs. And in the overall UI navigation and the way that the application is laid out in the web browser."
"By using their Helios Cloud service, you have all your clusters, no matter where they are located, in one web portal."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"Cohesity has very simple reports to help you stay in the know of which servers are being backed up or not."
"No longer does it take several hours to backup a VM or troubleshoot a backup issue."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable. Being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place. It has good high availability, and it is also easy to maintain."
"It's simple to use."
"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"The technical support is good."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"It is scalable."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting. There are very granular reports from each grid. There are also some built-in reports within Helios (SAS Management Console) that offers basic reporting. However, for complex, large-enterprise environments, a more robust reporting engine that supports detailed audit reporting and enhanced ad hoc reports would be welcome."
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"Physical RDMs on virtual machines could be a bit easier to configure and plan out."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"It could use deduplication features."
"The integration needs improvement."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"Technical support could be improved."
