Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Cohesity is a cost-effective storage designed for secondary or archival data. It also integrates well with a number of other systems, like VMware, Pure Storage, or AWS with its large array of APIs available to the user."
"We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"This solution is easy to manage."
"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 ease of use."
"We are looking forward to the next release, so we can take advantage of the AHV backup for our Nutanix environment."
"By using their Helios Cloud service, you have all your clusters, no matter where they are located, in one web portal."
"A robust, verifiable backup with a restore solution, which decreases our backup and has a restore window."
"The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is easy to use and performing a recovery is easy to do."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment."
"Technical support is good. They're very responsive. It depends on the timezone responding, but I usually get a response within three hours of creating a ticket."
"It's powerful and user-friendly."
"Veeam is very user-friendly and intuitive software."
"User-friendly data backup and protection solution for a Windows environment. The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is very scalable, stable, and has good compatibility and integration."
"If you have windows machine at home and you'd like a backup, you can always download their free edition and plug in an external hard disk, and do a full backup of your laptop."
"It is a stable solution."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"We are highly dissatisfied with the level of support and functionality provided for HANA within the Cohesity product."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
"Interface could possibly be improved."
"While the Veeam agent is perfect, sometimes the agent doesn't install in Windows."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
