"I found value in the instant recovery with DataMove. I found value in the protection group model for applying policies to VMs. And in the overall UI navigation and the way that the application is laid out in the web browser."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"The ability to essentially instantly recover a VM and have it run on the Cohesity Platform while all those bits are technically being recovered in the background is useful to us."
"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 like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"With the ability to stage an entire lifecycle through versioning, integrated with AWS, it has made it possible to protect our corporation from end to end."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"I think Cohesity could add more platform support. For example, they could improve integration with DB2 or make the integration S3 object storage a little tighter. Some of that stuff could use some work, but overall, it's a relatively comprehensive platform."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"We would love to see direct compatibility with HPE Simplivity, which we also leverage."
"Cohesity DataProtect can improve in the area of databases. We have had some challenges with both Cohesity and Rubrik being able to effectively back up in a timely manner the SQL Oracle workloads."
"The GUI is in need of improvement."
"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."
"After resizing and compression, the system continuously runs out of space. Dell EMC doesn't do automatic cleanup or other things, so we constantly have to manually go in there or work with Dell support on this. The solution has not been working as advertised."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
