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.
Manilal Kasera - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent with good reliability and good data visibility
The initial setup had a medium level of difficulty. If we go through the documentation, we can learn about what to do. In Palantir, they had a section called Academy, and that Academy was quite useful. If you go through that as a new user, it makes the process easier as you learn what to do. Initially, we didn't have many sources that would help us learn things, so we struggled a bit. In contrast, with Azure and Amazon Cloud, you have many sources from where you would be easily able to learn. You could just Google what you needed with them, as there's so much available documentation online. What was easy was the fact that everything was in one place. With AWS Cloud, there are many applications to support. You can use Glue or Athena, and you have all these other applications. However, with Palantir, everything is easy due to the fact that it is centralized. It's drag and drop and everything is very transparent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The hyper-converged architecture and scalability are hugely important for growing service companies."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"It is easy to install and use."
"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."
"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."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"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."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Great features available in one tool."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
 

Cons

"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 limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"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."
"There is limited support for legacy systems, which is something that could be improved."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The workflow could be improved."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
 

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."
"It's expensive."
