"Simplicity and Reliability in Data Management"
What do you like best 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.

"Cohesity is modern backup solution with an intuitive interface."
What do you like best about Cohesity?

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.

"Cohesity is the ONE you want on your side!!!!!"
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.

"Helios has its place, but proceed with caution."
What do you like best about Cohesity?

Centralized Reporting and a Single pane of glass for all clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cohesity?

The fact it is available from anywhere. If the clusters are not setup for read-only, it would be very easy to exfiltrate data; this is quite concering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cohesity Is A Blend Of Operational Efficieny And Cost Effectiveness"
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.

"Robust Solution For All BCDR Needs"
What do you like best about Cohesity?

Very user friendly UI in an extremely robust system. You have complete control over the appliances from a single pane of glass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cohesity?

There is currently no way backup based on a calendar date. To register a database for backing up you need to register the virtual server as a physical one, then register the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust and reliable backups that just work."
What do you like best about Cohesity?

Cohesity is a solid and consistent backup solution. Implementation was simple, and we were backing up in less than 2 hours. The interface is easy to use and simple to understand. Cohesity backups and restores just work. We test backups periodically and they always work without issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cohesity?

Early implementations of multi-factor authentication were a bit buggy. Cohesity has since resolved those issues and now it is working well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
