Solution Architect at LTIMindtree

Backup protection and search capabilities optimize data management while API-driven architecture streamlines integration

The protection group, the ease of use, and their Helios platform are the features I find the best. I have utilized the built-in deduplication and compression features, which are pretty good and have helped optimize my storage use. The experience has been good. The SpanFS is their file system with the erasure coding and all of that, so they are quite advanced in terms of cyber resilience. My experience with the ransomware protection solution offered by Cohesity C6000 Series has been that their anomaly detection is pretty good. We keep getting alerts for different issues. We have the anomaly detection and threat analytics configured, so it will generate alerts if it detects an anomaly, which we analyze from our end. The global indexing and search capabilities allow me to search for files, which has been pretty useful for us. The API-driven architecture of Cohesity C6000 Series has enabled good integration with ServiceNow and other ITSM tools.

Senior Manager IT Infrastructure at Trusource Labs

Has the ability to have a single-pane-of-glass using the VMware interface but it needs better support

The product helped improve the way our organization functions starting with our hiring practices. We do not have to have a storage engineer or other engineering specialists. So, for example, I had a budget to get someone for a security engineer position of $120,000 a year. In the end, after talking to several local people in my industry, they just told me that security guys will come in and then somebody will offer them $5,000 more and they will just go where the money is. So I went with a third party called the Arctic Wolf Networks to do all my monitoring of my Office 365 environments, all of our servers, collect all the logs, and get all the services I needed from one source that would be consistent. This way, I can hire just general networking engineers and they can run everything. I do not have to have special employees and the benefits of that flexibility are pretty great. With the solution, you can swap out a drive for a larger capacity drive. You can lose a couple of drives and everything still runs. You can lose the server and it is self-healing and you can schedule maintenance around events. But I do not have to have staffing 24-hours a day because we do not have outages. That is probably the biggest thing. Meanwhile, in another part of the network that I am currently taking over from the global holding company, they have outages all the time. Sometimes it is due to a network failure or sometimes it is just poor engineering practices and standards. Over there we just set up to large servers and a couple of data centers using the VxRail system, which is like vSAN, so it is pretty similar stuff to our current setups but just uses other products.
