"The dashboard is very easy to use."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover."
"It is a stable solution."
"This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."
"The most valuable features are backup and restore. This solution is also easy to use."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."
"Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers."
"Technical support is good."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"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."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"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."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"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."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation of third party applications added( Like installing WinRar MS Office etc..) , and Firewall for servers."
"I would like to have a more automated installation process."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
