What do you like best about Cohesity?

Scalability, strong growing feature set and performance. Users are being heard if they provide feedback. Multitenancy and multi-cloud support gives a great feature set, clearly focused on future adoption of any cloud platform. Ease of use and maintenance: simple, single pane of management with strong and fast responsive HTML5 UI. Support is great and easy accessable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cohesity?

Currently, not the whole MS365 stack is supported. Planning of version updates is sometimes getting behind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cohesity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Offering storage and backup services for VMs, NAS, applications and MS365 environments in a multitenant environment. Benefits are its scalability and performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cohesity?

Cohesity performs backups in a consistent, reliable fashion without over-complication. Recoveries are quick and granular recovery offered across a large number of sub-systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cohesity?

We have experienced some bugs that have caused minor issues. vCenter integrations are fantastic and allow for VM tagging automation, but we have had issues with the tags getting ignored. vCenter might be to blame more than anything, but it was a large hiccup for us. Cohesity support is extremely responsive and we have never had an issue getting something resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cohesity solving and how is that benefiting you?

The obvious is that we are utilizing Cohesity to provide a highly versatile rapid recovery data platform. We can recover individual files and entire VMs in minutes. VM recovery actually mounts the recovered VM on the Cohesity cluster and copies it in the background, providing a great time to recovery. But that really is the shortest path to a use-case with this solution. Cohesity offers a full platform of tools, apps, and unconventional storage analytics to ensure that the data you have doesn't just sit. It will detect ransomware and offer automated recovery solutions. You can turn your Cohesity cluster into your file server with a simple restore function with Views. Views are file shares you can stand up in minutes. Updates are seamless and performed in the background without interruption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cohesity?

You can create BackUp Groups and sync them with you vCenter. As soon as so create a VM in the specific folder, the vm will be backuped.That is very useful and you don't have to configure every backup for every vm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cohesity?

Unfortunately, it often happens that bugs are delivered with updates. Sometimes also critical matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cohesity:

Just make enough test at the beginning with several VMs,SQL etc. Also do a PoC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cohesity solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a great backup solution and don't have worries about it that our backups could go wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
