Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"No longer does it take several hours to backup a VM or troubleshoot a backup issue."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"We are looking forward to the next release, so we can take advantage of the AHV backup for our Nutanix environment."
"One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer."
"We can run test scripts on production data."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up."
"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."
"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"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."
"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."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"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 like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
