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.
