"The solution has extensive documentation and a very active community."
"The SQL Backup and Restore is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"I found value in the instant recovery with DataMove. I found value in the protection group model for applying policies to VMs. And in the overall UI navigation and the way that the application is laid out in the web browser."
"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
"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."
"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer."
"By using their Helios Cloud service, you have all your clusters, no matter where they are located, in one web portal."
"Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy."
"We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions. Such a thing does not yet exist."
"We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI."
"A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."
"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement."
"It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"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."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
