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.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

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."
"Our data center size occupancy for Cohesity appliance is reduced by 70% when we installed Cohesity."
"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."
"I find the most important feature to be data protection."
"It is easy to install and use."
"We use Cohesity Helios primarily in our data management strategy for backup and reporting."
"I definitely recommend this tool to others due to its simplicity, security, features, and flexibility."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The data lineage is great."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"The pricing of the Cloud is on the higher side, and it should be cost-effective enough to compete with native solutions."
"In terms of functionality, Helios has been effective, but sometimes it doesn't show the exact cluster name for backups."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"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 frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
