"Cohesity DataProtect is easy to deploy and operate."
"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."
"Cohesity is a cost-effective storage designed for secondary or archival data. It also integrates well with a number of other systems, like VMware, Pure Storage, or AWS with its large array of APIs available to the user."

"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs."

"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"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."
"Many of the reports are basic, at most, and at times we had to open a support ticket to help find or develop a report for our needs."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
