Cohesity DataProtect pros and cons

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.

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 have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones.

The platform has certain limitations, mostly stemming from the restrictions imposed by the VMware API and some other factors. One area where there is room for improvement is the tracking of replicated copies, especially in the context of remote archive duplication.

I think Cohesity could add more platform support. For example, they could improve integration with DB2 or make the integration S3 object storage a little tighter. Some of that stuff could use some work, but overall, it's a relatively comprehensive platform.

Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support.

We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good.

Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved.

In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity.

The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam.
