Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The system automatically takes down the nodes one at a time and performs the upgrade and brings the node back up before proceeding to the next. Upgrades can now be done at any time with a high level of confidence."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions. We are very satisfied with those, and the product is very simple to use."
"It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"I love the ability to clone a virtual server in only minutes."
"I like the performance of the restore feature."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"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."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"I think Cohesity could add more platform support. For example, they could improve integration with DB2 or make the integration S3 object storage a little tighter. Some of that stuff could use some work, but overall, it's a relatively comprehensive platform."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
