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. > > We have been very happy with our relationship with Cohesity. The company listens to users and I have seen features I requested added to the product. Reporting used to be a weak point, not it is very good comparatively. ----- ### "Cohesity... 18 months later" — 5.0/5 > **Fabian** | *2 June 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our journey with Cohesity started about 18 months ago and we are still so happy with the product. It’s working perfectly, it’s still fast and reliable as from day 1. > > **Cons**: We are waiting for some new features to be added, like cluster support for Windows and RedHat cluster, it’s taking some time. > > We had so many issue with our old backup tool that I won’t know where to start. Now with Cohesity I can finally spend my time doing something else then firefighting. Also, As a backup administrator, I know that the backup we do every day can be restored quickly in case of issue. ----- ### "neutral" — 3.0/5 > **scott** | *3 May 2023* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **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. > > The tool seems like it is in it's infancy - restoring is more difficult than it needs to be and the "instant recovery" seems great in theory, but the vMotion aspect takes way too long to be usable in our capacity. ----- ### "Cohesity back and restore" — 5.0/5 > **Tim** | *3 December 2020* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having access to Helios is feature. And the setup and install of Cohesity was seamless. Choesity support is one of the best support teams. > > **Cons**: I wish there were report or custom reports option. > > Great. We had issues deployment but that was related to the servers. But cohesity support was very helpful and did a great job. ----- ### "Set it and forget it" — 5.0/5 > **Brent** | *9 February 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > Deployment was easy and getting familiar with the interface was quick. Once the backup policies are set, and VMs associated with policy, it just works. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/419896/cohesity?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/419896/cohesity) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
