"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"The product is easy to put in place. All backups are done very quickly. It's easy to perform restores. What I prefer in the product is its simplicity. There are no useless settings to define, and everything is ready after the initial setup."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"With instant DR failover using SiteContinuity, we are able to keep our files available no matter the situation."
"The most valuable features are the rapid VM restores and the ability to quickly find files and download them directly to my desktop so that I can put them where I need them to be."
"The dashboard is very easy to use."
"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."
"The four independent node cluster architecture is redundant. It maintains data integrity and load balancing."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"I would like to see Cohesity have the ability to do a file level restore from a Windows server, which is storing data on dynamic disk."
"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."
"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."
"Initial setup can be complex if you need to change IP addresses. Hopefully, they improve that in a future release."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"We would like it to have more capabilities for different kinds of PaaS or SaaS services in the Azure cloud, such as Azure SQL or Azure Cosmos DB."
"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
