Offers improved data protection and security with indirect ROI

The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions. Currently, Cohesity Cloud seems very costly compared to native backups. Although this is an emerging tool and there is room for growth, it needs to mature further. There is an AI feature, however, it is still in the development phase and requires substantial improvements.

Cons

"Lacks sufficient documentation or training videos."

"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."

"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."

"In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups."

"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."

"It has never been touted as a tier-one storage platform, and that would be a benefit. They are currently working on solving that issue."

"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."

"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
