"I have found that the speed of restores, especially files and folders, are extremely fast. This bodes well for us, and our end users are always amazed at how fast you can get them their files."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"The ease of use and the GUI have really been most valuable to us. Configuring the system to do what we need is simple and straight forward and a lot of guesswork has been removed. One of my favorite features with Cohesity is Kroll for Exchange item-level recovery. The software is simple to use and fast."
"The ability to essentially instantly recover a VM and have it run on the Cohesity Platform while all those bits are technically being recovered in the background is useful to us."
"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."
"We are saving valuable datacenter rack space, which is critical as we evaluate co-location options."
"Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour."
"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."
"A technical person who hasn't received any dedicated training or hasn't gone through the documentation part of the solution may find the product to be a little non-intuitive at times."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"The platform has certain limitations, mostly stemming from the restrictions imposed by the VMware API and some other factors. One area where there is room for improvement is the tracking of replicated copies, especially in the context of remote archive duplication."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"Cohesity cluster upgrades have not been as easy as a single button click. They are a manual process that requires upgrading each node into a cluster individually."
