"We can run test scripts on production data."
"The support is awesome. They are very fast, competent and friendly."
"Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour."
"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 tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected.

This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
