"Solid Choice for Enterprise Data Protection - Strong on Innovation, Steep on Price"
11 August 2025
Overall experience is great with great support and team. I am looking forward to next innovation from Cohesity.
Pros:
It's ease of use which makes Cohesity a great choice. Cohesity Products and Services provide a very good performance and speed. Cohesity Gaia - AI-powered insights with natural language processing for data protection workflows is a very nice product.
Cons:
I feel pricing of Cohesity products are on a higher side and long backup times makes it not the best product in the market right now.

"Cohesity DataProtect an enterprise complete data protection for business"
12 August 2024
We migrated to Cohesity almost four years ago from our legacy backup appliance. We have NEVER regretted the change. Since our migration, the amount of time required to manage and complete backups has dropped significantly. With the ability to have on-prem and cloud solutions working together has allowed protection of both all of my on-prem needs and still protect all of our cloud needs as well."
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.

"Great at first, but the honeymoon is over."
28 May 2025
In the beginning of our work with them, they were glad to help us in our setup and initialization. They helped fix a slow synchronization process that was due to our too many users. After the honeymoon phase, it's been real difficult establishing contact to get help.
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.....

"Cohesity is a great backup solution that can do much more, and the feature list is growing."
10 August 2021
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.
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.
