"The dashboard is very easy to use."
"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."
"The product is easy to put in place. All backups are done very quickly. It's easy to perform restores. What I prefer in the product is its simplicity. There are no useless settings to define, and everything is ready after the initial setup."
"It's completely reliable and easy to restore."

"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
"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."
"Their documentation could be refined."
"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."
"This solution is only compatible with a limited number of storage arrays, including Pure and Cisco Hyperflex."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
