"The spin-up of a VM within a test environment for backup testing along with quick restores."
"We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable. Being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place. It has good high availability, and it is also easy to maintain."
"We can run test scripts on production data."
"Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."

"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic."

"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."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
