Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"The most valuable features are the rapid VM restores and the ability to quickly find files and download them directly to my desktop so that I can put them where I need them to be."
"It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"Cohesity customer service is the best that I have ever used. They are extremely fast in responding to cases, fixed all issues, and answered every question in a very timely manner."
"The enterprise search and instant restore are pretty valuable. Also, the Helios stuff is pretty good and the SAS engine for ransom malware detection."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"Deduplication is the most valuable feature."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"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."
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"The GUI is in need of improvement."
"Cohesity DataProtect takes hours to restore a single file, even a small one."
"Quality testing of upgrades should be somewhat improved."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
