"We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions. We are very satisfied with those, and the product is very simple to use."
"Converged system. It makes much more sense to have the backup server running on the same hardware as the storage for backup and recovery."
"It offers an easy, quick backup and restore of files and VMs. Also, the "Google-like " search for files is awesome."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"It has a lightning fast restore."
"Instead of four different solutions for protecting VMs, physical servers, SQL, and NAS, we now have one solution with Cohesity that is lightning fast and has amazing features."
"Cohesity DataProtect is easily manageable, and you can see every option from the user interface."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"Installing this solution is very simple and takes perhaps five or ten minutes."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"It’s quite scalable."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"Many of the reports are basic, at most, and at times we had to open a support ticket to help find or develop a report for our needs."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"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."
"Reporting is one area that isn't as robust as it could be."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"Cohesity cluster upgrades have not been as easy as a single button click. They are a manual process that requires upgrading each node into a cluster individually."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"More licensing options could be introduced to the software. It is currently based on capacity only. Compared to competitors, it is difficult to position it economically everywhere. From the usability point of view, they are making many improvements on new interfaces, the SaaS offering, etc."
"It's an expensive solution."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
