Provides robust security and manageability
In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups. Retrieving data from the Postgres database using open search can be slow. For product enhancement, we need new queries to improve search process speed. To make Cohesity Helios better, the recent version should focus on internal security and compliance features. Compared to the previous version, the current version includes enhancements like Red Hat and Solaris support. Users are looking for these updates to ensure better security and compliance prospects.

A competitive and balanced solution that offers solid performance at a reasonable price
I worked very closely with ExaGrid in Singapore. We are trying to build up the market for ExaGrid in Vietnam. We hope to be a big distributor for ExaGrid and that the picture will improve next year. Regarding the technology of ExaGrid, they have a landing zone, and now it's a very exhaustive solution, especially compared with Dell Data Domain and HPE. HPE offers normal storage without any special solution. Dell has DD Boost, and so the performance is high. On that basis, I rate the ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage number with an overall score of eight out of ten. People might be more familiar with Data Domain or StoreOnce. And if people want a professional solution, there are only three brands.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its big data and archive data features are the features that I have found most valuable. I can use it in a big virtual environment."
"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."
"The clone feature is very nice. You can restore workloads onto Cohesity's storage, which is also nice to have when you don't have enough space to restore on the server."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"It is easy to install and use."
"I like the performance of the restore feature."
 

Cons

"It has never been touted as a tier-one storage platform, and that would be a benefit. They are currently working on solving that issue."
"In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"Their documentation portal is not up to date for newer releases and I strongly recommend Cohesity to increase their efforts on the documentation portal."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's priced properly for the market."
"Regarding pricing, it's very costly and I rate it a four."
"Competing products sometimes use deceptive marketing to make their products seem a lot cheaper. Comparing apples-to-apples, DataPlatform wins out."
"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
