What do you dislike about Cohesity?

My favorite thing about it is how it really simplifies the backup process. Instead of juggling different tools, you can manage everything from a single platform. The interface is also very intuitive, so it saves a lot of time in daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cohesity? At times, the interface can feel a bit complex when dealing with advanced features, especially for new users, which creates a steeper learning curve. Also, after certain updates, there can occasionally be minor performance or compatibility issues, although they are usually resolved fairly quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cohesity solving and how is that benefiting you? Cohesity primarily solves the problem of data fragmentation. In traditional environments, backup, archiving, security, and analytics are often handled by separate systems, which increases complexity, cost, and risk. Cohesity brings these functions together into a single platform, making data more visible, manageable, and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how seamlessly Cohesity integrates with M365 to backup evrything from its mailboxes to OneDrive, to everything in betwen. Another Cohesity application that i, equally, like is Helios. The integration between Helios and the Cohesity console makes remote management of the cluster smooth and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cohesity? The one aspect of Cohesity i, somewhat, dislike is its inablity to detect when user account have been disabled to automatically stoll backip up the disabled account. Instead, it sends an email at set intervals until you go and manually removed the user from the protection group. I think that is a setting that should have been imbedded.

Platform Manager Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/17/2023 "Cohesity is the ONE you want on your side!!!!!" 5/5 What do you like best about Cohesity? We started with Cohesity physical appliances for production and DR, and then we add Backup as a Service to our environment to handle all of our cloud items. The Helios interface is simple and easy to use. I have secure remote access to my Cohesity environment at any time.The UI is friendly and easy to use, and give me one pane of glass to controll all of the appliance units and the BaaS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cohesity? I have none. We have been very pleased with the product and its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cohesity solving and how is that benefiting you? Time was our orignal issue that we were trying to fix. Our previous backup solution was not able to get all of our systems backed up in a 24 hour time period. We add more appliances and still had issues. We moved to Cohesity and everything is completed in a timely manner. Another issue with time, was around restores. We have monthly requirements were various systems have to be tested each month for recovery. These recovery test were taking a couple days to complete and then document for various yearly audits. When we started using Cohesity, my restore time became minutes. Now my documentation takes longer than testing the restores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lead Engineer - Cloud operations Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/20/2019 "Cohesity Is A Blend Of Operational Efficieny And Cost Effectiveness" 4/5 What do you like best about Cohesity? We started with a single cohesity box and ended up with 8 systems ... Cohesity is a blend of cost effective storage designed for secondary or archival data as well as integrates well with number of other systems like Vmware, Pure storage or AWS with API's available to the user. Backing up VM's , indexing data and restoring data is a bliss and lightening fast. At the same time the data compression and dedup is robust and best in the category of secondary storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cohesity? Initially the software releases were too frequent as the product was still evolving and they were doing too many changes and feature releases at short notice. We had to do frequent code upgrades to keep up with the development pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cohesity solving and how is that benefiting you? Helped save us retire our old back up tools and tape libraries. Significant savings when we migrated the archival and less frequently accessed data from our tier 1 storage including the repositories and file servers. We can backup several type of data sets including virtual machines on Vmware, RDM's, physical servers, EC2 instances and what not from the same console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
