"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."

"Features I would like to see include a more visible data lifecycle monitoring tab, and an easier to read backup status dashboard."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"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."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"It requires much more automation features."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve the IBM Spectrum Protect environment. It can be difficult to administer. The initial configuration can be difficult for entry-level teams or deployment teams, and it might be difficult to integrate. There's just too much content involved in the solution. The documentation is way too large."
