These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"Cohesity has simplified backups and has cut our costs tremendously."
"The most valuable aspect for me is that I don't have to deal with media in terms of tapes like our existing system does."
"Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"Solution provides good security."

"It is a stable solution."
"The GUI is in need of improvement."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"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 DataProtect can improve in the area of databases. We have had some challenges with both Cohesity and Rubrik being able to effectively back up in a timely manner the SQL Oracle workloads."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"It would be great to add SQL Object Level restore, so user objects, tables, etc. can be restored without having to restore the entire DB."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
"The solution's compression ratio and high speed for backing up can always improve. Aspects that need improvement are less time, better quality, higher security, and more compression. These are continuous requirements for any customer."
"An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation of third party applications added( Like installing WinRar MS Office etc..) , and Firewall for servers."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
