"The support is awesome. They are very fast, competent and friendly."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"The system automatically takes down the nodes one at a time and performs the upgrade and brings the node back up before proceeding to the next. Upgrades can now be done at any time with a high level of confidence."
"Setup was extremely easy from racking to backing up was about one hour."
"It's stable."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the backups."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"Better documentation is needed because the lack of information has necessitated having our team depend more heavily on Cohesity support."
"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."
"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."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"Microsoft Exchange online mailbox backups would be fantastic."
"The platform has certain limitations, mostly stemming from the restrictions imposed by the VMware API and some other factors. One area where there is room for improvement is the tracking of replicated copies, especially in the context of remote archive duplication."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
