An all-in-one package that consolidated and simplified our backup solution

Pros

"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."

Cons

"The GUI is in need of improvement."

Provides ransomware protection, along with instant mass recovery for quick restores

Pros

"Several features enable us to perform fast recovery, such as instant fast recovery. All our virtual machines protected with the product can be quickly restored to another healthy environment with minimal downtime for our main customers. These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives. "

Cons

"The tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected. One feature that would greatly improve our experience with the product is the ability to identify data redundancies through a central console. This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data. "

A highly stable solution that can be used for on-premises backup

Pros

"The solution's SQL cloning is great, and its Instant Mount restoration of virtual machines is brilliant."

Cons

"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."

Its web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed

Pros

"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."

Cons

"The one area where we would like to see additional improvements is with reporting. There are very granular reports from each grid. There are also some built-in reports within Helios (SAS Management Console) that offers basic reporting. However, for complex, large-enterprise environments, a more robust reporting engine that supports detailed audit reporting and enhanced ad hoc reports would be welcome."

Effortless setup, speedy restore options, and issues are resolved quickly

Pros

"Cohesity DataProtect is user-friendly and straightforward. The setup process was effortless, and both the backup and restore operations are speedy."

Cons

"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
