Cohesity DataPlatform Reviews & Product Details

Scalability, strong growing feature set and performance. Users are being heard if they provide feedback. Multitenancy and multi-cloud support gives a great feature set, clearly focused on future adoption of any cloud platform. Ease of use and maintenance: simple, single pane of management with strong and fast responsive HTML5 UI. Support is great and easy accessable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, not the whole MS365 stack is supported. Planning of version updates is sometimes getting behind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cohesity performs backups in a consistent, reliable fashion without over-complication. Recoveries are quick and granular recovery offered across a large number of sub-systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have experienced some bugs that have caused minor issues. vCenter integrations are fantastic and allow for VM tagging automation, but we have had issues with the tags getting ignored. vCenter might be to blame more than anything, but it was a large hiccup for us. Cohesity support is extremely responsive and we have never had an issue getting something resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can create BackUp Groups and sync them with you vCenter. As soon as so create a VM in the specific folder, the vm will be backuped.That is very useful and you don't have to configure every backup for every vm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, it often happens that bugs are delivered with updates. Sometimes also critical matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform just works. Coming from out other platform, Cohesity has made life so much simpler. It has cut our full backup window from 48 hours to 3 hours (using incrementals forever). Even if I were to push fulls across the environment, it would still get it done in under 24 hours for the whole environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that they had automated backup testing (for full VM restores and files from particular backups). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Cohesity is built from the ground up with a cloud first mentality. Their vision is remarkable and implementation is beyond impressive. It has simplified backup and saved us time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that they have not designed the product with third party load balancers in mind, and instead you have to use DNS round robin. The CIFS/NAS feature is great, unfortunately you cannot have multiple virtual storage paths and virtual name spaces for different NAS shares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backups using web GUI made easy access from anywhere. Easy policy management, Job creation and recoveries are so fast as compared to other backup vendors. Non-disruptive upgrades, easy expansion and hassle-free hardware replacements and able to manage with less man power and no worries about house-keeping jobs. Easy connect to cloud to use as destination for Cohesity backup and archives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

latest version supports of Linux backups

Few bugs on their LTS releases which needs to be tested well before they release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great for protecting VMware workloads in our on premises environment, and being able to archive those backups for long term in cheaper public cloud storage. Easy to use interface and policy driven backups make protecting large environments easier.

The thing I like best is the close partnership we have with Cohesity as a vendor. They listen to our needs and develop features that help meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some times they bring new features to market before they are fully polished or feature complete. Examples include their initial file serving option which was very limited. It has incrementally improved and was recently relaunched under a new name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few fateful years ago, Uber brought to market the most amazing new thing we had ever seen. They allowed us to pay for a ride in someone else's car. WOW! So I know what you are thinking... "That's not new!" You're right. What they actually did was take a service that had been monopolized for so long by taxi companies and made it amazing. Taxi's are known for being expensive, dirty, a little smelly, squeaky brakes, having rude drivers, hard to catch, etc etc etc. Uber gave us the ability to easily find a ride, know the fare before we ride, pay a much lower fare, ride in someone's personal car that they care for b/c it's their personal car, provide reviews to weed out bad drivers (and riders), and do it all using an app. In short, they took the mundane and made it accessible, simple, efficient, affordable... This is what Cohesity has done for secondary storage and data protection. Cohesity looked at this technology space and said, "We can uberfy this thing." And they did. I can setup a new cluster of cohesity and protect my data in less than one working day. I can then schedule, retain, replicate my backups all through an intuitive and efficient html 5 gui. And as an added bonus, why not put all that processing power to work by allowing it to be a integral part of production work loads by offering secondary storage in the same way on the cluster. WOW! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could be seen as a plus or minus. But they don't support data protection for some legacy technologies... lotus notes for example. To me this makes sense b/c they are a forward looking company. This may push some customers to look for other more traditional "taxi" vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extremely fast recovery times, easy to use and setup. Great integration to cloud backups (ie: AWS S3). Restores take only seconds to spin up which is awesome. Ties in to AD easily. Can replace the functionality of a SMB file server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Exchange message-level restores are clunky, relies on 3rd party tool. Still works fine but takes longer than other vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

our Cohesity units are so easy to use, that it makes managing them really simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found a down side. They work very well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up a backup job, restoring files and VMs, and searching for these items are quick and easy. The install process and implementation can be done in half a day depending on the size of your environment. Restoring a 100GB VM from Cohesity was completed and back up and running in under 10 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation that is provided with the support pages are not always accurate. Some features do not work as well as anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Simple interface and dashboard allows all of our DevOps staff easy access to review jobs and restore within seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The SQL Server backup jobs have had issues intermittently which is concerning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI ps the way to navigate. The company is constantly seeking input and ideas from the user base to find ways to improve. I really like the customer engagement. Site replication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly have not come across anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After implementation when the storage stands you can manage everything from the web interface. Managing your back-ups from the web interface is very easy especially on a larger scale it works really well, compared to other solutions.

Also when we need more storage we just buy another unit and add them to the current cluster. It makes it very easy to scale for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software updates sometimes come to soon. Support is always ready to help really quick but I feel if they did less updates with more testing it would better.

In the beginning we were missing some features which would make live easyer, but more and more of these features are getting enrolled with every new software update. But like I said the software updates could use more testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overal experience is satisfying. We use Cohesity back-up solution to safeguard three of our datacenters. The original setup was quite simple and the few problems we encountered where quickly fixed. Cohesity is actively developing the software and new features are added constantly. Also, the possibility to run a virtual edition of their software is quite interesting for some implementations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation is missing sometimes, and some settings are difficult to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scale-out storage, multi-tenant portal and vCloud Director support. Their support is also quick and good. Quick development of new features. The interface is a state of the art and works on all devices through HTML5. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support for multi tenancy and vCloud director took a while to create, but other then that the development does go quick for new functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it just works. Easy to use, easy to manage, easy to upgrade. Backups are fast and simple. Recovers are even faster and easy enough to allow self service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything that I do not like about Cohesity as of yet. We have been using Cohesity for almost 2 years and it just keeps getting better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VMware backup & MSSQL backup. The test and dev functions are also very useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud requirements for off site DR. Right now it takes too much configuration and resources to quickly spin up DR in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cohesity is a young fresh company with a very good product. Its not only for backups. you can make things like test/dev with your backedup data or drive some analyses. The support team is the best i ever see Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

hmmmm. there is realy nothing to say. We are very happy with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, flexibility and all in one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updating cluster could be easier by having the upgrade within then the UI instead of having to go to a website to pull the upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The absolute ease of backups and restores. I've setup SMB/NFS and used it, plus the cloning is slick. The different options and speed at a file, folder or VM restore is great. It's great to have a solution that does more than just back stuff up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No different than anywhere else, when there are issues we work through them and a lot of the time it is upgrade that resolves the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact I am able to backup over 90TB of Data to the cloud in 30 minutes without worrying about it and watching the dashboard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing! Everything works great and as intended Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use is a big one for me. The quickness in doing restores whether file or server related.

Creating and monitoring backups couldnt be any easier. Support is also very good and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly I really do not have anything negative to say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked having this as a hyper-converged unit, so I can scale the storage with the software. The development cycle is also very fast, so new features are always being added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product has some maturing to do, in terms of feature set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
