"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."
"By using their Helios Cloud service, you have all your clusters, no matter where they are located, in one web portal."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"The solution is stable."
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"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."
"The SQL Backup and Restore is very easy."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."
"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
"For Oracle DBs, we have observed a few bugs. This can be done better."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"In terms of what could be improved, it just needs some maturity."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"The support team sometimes takes a long time to resolve issues, although, in our experience, these have been specific things like SQL blobs."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"Veeam needs to have more support for non-Windows systems and other databases. For example, I can do SQL with Veeam but not Informix or Oracle. This is unfortunate because we have many partners with Oracle systems and Informix databases, and Veeam does not yet have the agents we need for specific Oracle and UNIX operating systems."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."
"During the initial setup especially, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"The cloud backups from Veeam Backup Replication have not been good. Addiotnaally, the backups of Office 365 and the overall performance can always be improved."
