"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"The initial setup is really straightforward."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."

"It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"The most valuable aspect for me is that I don't have to deal with media in terms of tapes like our existing system does."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"The error handling could be improved."
"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"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 would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
