Cohesity Reviews & Product Details

We started with Cohesity physical appliances for production and DR, and then we add Backup as a Service to our environment to handle all of our cloud items. The Helios interface is simple and easy to use. I have secure remote access to my Cohesity environment at any time.The UI is friendly and easy to use, and give me one pane of glass to controll all of the appliance units and the BaaS.

I have none. We have been very pleased with the product and its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Centralized Reporting and a Single pane of glass for all clusters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact it is available from anywhere. If the clusters are not setup for read-only, it would be very easy to exfiltrate data; this is quite concering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We started with a single cohesity box and ended up with 8 systems ... Cohesity is a blend of cost effective storage designed for secondary or archival data as well as integrates well with number of other systems like Vmware, Pure storage or AWS with API's available to the user. Backing up VM's , indexing data and restoring data is a bliss and lightening fast. At the same time the data compression and dedup is robust and best in the category of secondary storage.

Initially the software releases were too frequent as the product was still evolving and they were doing too many changes and feature releases at short notice. We had to do frequent code upgrades to keep up with the development pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very user friendly UI in an extremely robust system. You have complete control over the appliances from a single pane of glass. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is currently no way backup based on a calendar date. To register a database for backing up you need to register the virtual server as a physical one, then register the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cohesity is a solid and consistent backup solution. Implementation was simple, and we were backing up in less than 2 hours. The interface is easy to use and simple to understand. Cohesity backups and restores just work. We test backups periodically and they always work without issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Early implementations of multi-factor authentication were a bit buggy. Cohesity has since resolved those issues and now it is working well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cohesity Helios has the capabilities of converting all our standalone instances to Virtual machines with few clicks. In addition, it provides an intuitive user console that can be accessed with minimum prerequisites. We can also contact its support team using its built-in chat option for resolving simple pitstops. Licensing management is also effectively handled for all our backup servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be excellent to have some enhancements in its automated backup services. Apart from this, all other features are impressive, especially its web interface that allows our clients to retrieve files without interacting with our application servers directly. All our Full load backups & incremental operations can be performed with ease in the Cohesity Helios platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
