"Cohesity is extremely easy to use and intuitive."
"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."
"With the ability to stage an entire lifecycle through versioning, integrated with AWS, it has made it possible to protect our corporation from end to end."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"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."
"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 support is awesome. They are very fast, competent and friendly."
"A robust, verifiable backup with a restore solution, which decreases our backup and has a restore window."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The technical support is good."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"It's simple to use."
"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."
"The GUI is in need of improvement."
"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."
"Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"It could use deduplication features."
"Technical support could be improved."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
