Cohesity

Pros: L’interfaccia intuitiva e centralizzata di Cohesity facilita la gestione dei backup. Le funzionalità di deduplicazione e compressione sono molto efficienti, permettendo un risparmio concreto in termini di spazio e tempo. Ottima anche l’integrazione con ambienti virtualizzati.

Cons: La configurazione iniziale può risultare complessa per chi è alle prime armi. Inoltre, alcune funzionalità avanzate richiedono conoscenze tecniche più approfondite.

Pros: I found the interface very intuitive and rather easy to use and navigate around the site. The options available are what we asked for, and it seems like setup went rather smoothly. User's backup data that are still in the source are easily retrievable.

Cons: While the initial setup seemed to go smooth enough, we've found several instances where we've attempted to go and retrieve backup for a user, but can't find anything related to them. This seems to happen when the user account is deleted from the source (MS Entra). That kind of defeats the purpose of a backup.....

Pros: I like the ease of managing data and data backup with Cohesity The software comes with amazing cyber security features.

Cons: No serious challenges with Cohesity. Always works.

Pros: Cohesity has been a great benefit in providing our needs around backup, file storage, and cloud services. The ability to protect all my on-prem items (keeping backups on-prem) and all cloud items separately (keeping them in the cloud) has great helped in completely backups in a timely manager and saving large amounts of bandwidth; because I no longer have to pull all cloud items to on-prem solution. Over all one of the greatest benefits of Cohesity has been the fact that they are a true partner. All during the installation, to any support needs (very few), and improvements to their product.

Cons: Very minor, but one item for us that could use improvement is the bare-metal restore. I have only used a couple of times, but a third party app is required. Would be nice if this was all built into Cohesity.

Pros: An excellent product that responds to us in compliance backup and disaster events

Cons: I'm in the backup expert information service Expert level

Pros: For us the speed/performance of backup and restores was a great feature of Cohesity. My previous backup was not completing on a daily basis; because the backups were taking way to long to completes. I could not backup everything in a 24 hour time period (with multiple appliances running).

Cons: There have been no complaints with Cohesity. We have been very pleased with the product.

Pros: The easy of setup and use and having in all in one applicance (software and hardware).

Cons: The process for patching the appliance is a little clunky.

Pros: support is very helpful for all of the issues that seem to creep up daily.

Cons: There are so many features that we ( and support ) do not seem to know about. IT would be very helpful if these features were easily accessible rather than hidden away. Furthermore we have requested this several times from support and we seem to get back generic documentation rather than insightful feedback. Many of the features are flaky and require constant monitoring / case opening to resolve. We have opened a lot of cases in our timeline thus far... many.

Pros: Ease of use and the simple interface. Connect Cohesity to vCenter, select VMs to backup, and select the backup schedule.

Cons: I would like it to be less expensive. I am not saying it is not worth the price, just that less expensive would be nice.

Pros: We love how it is scale-out. This technology is going with current NAS trends. We love having so much redundancy.

Cons: The support was lacking when we did have a problem. The internal teams lacked organization and we experienced delays in help and confusion of internal support.

Pros: A modern data protection solution built with virtualization and cloud in mind and hyperconverged infrastructure. It helps simplify the backup software and hardware into a single solution.

Cons: The reporting is a little basic, although they do have a custom reporting module for more advanced reporting, although that requires developing your own custom reports.

Pros: Coming to Cohesity from NetBackup was an easy, pleasant transition.

Cons: Since previously using NetBackup I was accustomed to a plethora of information for every conceivable error that could arise. Not being an industry dinosaur, Cohesity has a bit less of that google-able troubleshooting capacity. Though time will fix that and they make up for it with useful community forums like galaxy.

Pros: Profile creation makes scheduling very easy. Very fast restores from local appliances Excellent deduplication/compressions ratios.

Cons: Agent management is cumbersome and feels like an afterthought. This is my single biggest issue with this application Agent installation application doesn't open necessary firewall ports No centralized credential manager No global options for backup exclusions - have to manually set options for each policy you create Software claims immutable backups, but anyone with admin credentials can delete all data on the appliance. Maybe the term 'immutable' is open for debate, but if I can go in and delete all the data on a protection run, then this does not qualify for immutable in my mind. You can put legal holds on data, but this isn't the same thing.

Pros: It's easy to use and setup, and they help you through the whole process.

Cons: There is one of our VMs that the Cohesity could not index, so we're forced to leave it unindexed. This just means we have to wait for the file list to populate when restoring singular or groups of files from it. Just a minor peeve.

Pros: Cohesity was for us the perfect solution in providing back-up as a service to our customers. It is easy to scale, easy to configure and very easy to manage.

Cons: It was somewhat behind on features compared to the likes of Veeam for example, but they have been implementing the missing features at a rapid pace. They also value feedback a lot so when requesting a missing feature their development team will look into it.

Pros: The software has a nice interface and a very concise dashboard. Backups are completed consistently and we have not had trouble with restores. We also back up OneDrive and Sharepoint data with the software. Support is very good.

Cons: There are a few things which are handled differently from our previous backup software. When restoring a VM you must manually delete the existing VM from vCenter; the old software would do that for you. One approach may not be better than the other, but it did take a bit of sleuthing to figure out why we were getting an error on a VM restore initially.

Pros: Cohesity has been a quick and easy win for our department. Setup and installation was quick and we were able to start backing up our VMs and legacy NAS devices. We have been able to eliminate time consuming and costly tapes by replicating our monthly's to a remote Cohesity cluster. In the future we will utilize cloud via Cohesity as well.

Cons: There have been a handful of patches that need to be administered from the command line vs the gui process that normally makes updates a snap.

Pros: What I like best about this software is the easy to navigate web interface. I also like knowing that when I set up a backup schedule it is going to run -- there is no need to go back and check on the status a bunch. The tool has never missed a backup since we started using it and restoring the backup couldn't be easier.

Cons: What we liked least about the software is the cost. Each VM has to be licensed in order to be protected and when you have thousands of VM's the cost can grow exponentially very quickly.

Pros: It is really easy to use ,with lot of features ,scalable

Cons: some options related to physical and exchange server are missing

Pros: Data management has never been easier. Being able to access multiple data silos through an elastic search engine is exactly what every big tech provider needs.

Cons: Sometimes it's a little too simplified. There's a need to aggregate certain types of data, but I still have to search across multiple silos instead of just one.

Pros: Cohesity has been great for us! There are always people available for one on one help if you need it! It is easy to use and fast.

Cons: We do wish it was a bit more cost effective.

Pros: This product can alone replace your storage array, backup solution and the Disaster recovery solution. Also, it is a compact four node system and has integration with several other vendors like VMware , AWS, Azure etc.

Cons: The KB articles and product documentation can me improved and made more specific and to the point.

Pros: The ease of back-ups combined with good support and innovation to allow for multiple use cases than just backups.

Cons: Lately the support response times have been lacking.
