“Great technology that will lower your backup costs assuming you are sized large enough.”
The trial period was great; we were able to leverage the virtual edition to fully test features before bringing the actual hardware onsite for a POC. The solution has worked well and has outclassed our previous setup in both ease of use as well as efficiency and speed.
*UPDATE*
In this update I would like to share my experience with hardware support from Cohesity, as our units have now been in service for over 5 years. I received a notification from the system that the expected lifespan of one of the solid state drives was now down to 20%. Cohesity proactively replaced every one of our nodes, one at a time, so there was zero downtime to our backup cluster. This was unexpected and very welcome. They do stand behind their hardware as well as their software. I'm updating my rating of service and support to 5 stars because of this.
*UPDATE 2*
As a further update we have now retired our original cluster and installed a new cluster. The new cluster increased network speed, node count, and capacity. I think this is the highest compliment a review can give - we liked the solution enough to vote with our wallet a second time.
*UPDATE 3*
We continue to have great success with our cluster. Support has been helpful when we need them. I'm looking forward to future enhancements concerning additional hypervisors.

“Security Gaps Identified in Backup Tool Due to Lack of Segregation Features”
As part of a Network team, I saw such a product coming to me without a valid RFP. Unfortunately, we do have a highly regulated infrastructure and Cohesity is struggling to follow our standards. It might be a nice tool, but from a security perspective the product is incredibly naive. Segmentation of activities (backup/ admin) is complicated as the system is missing a real out of band solution.

Cohesity Expands Features and Partnerships But Licensing Remains Challenging
Everything just works and works great. The licensing would be the only small negative. - STORAGE AND BACKUP ADMINISTRATOR1B-10B USDManufacturingReview Source
Cohesity Offers Reliable Backup With Intuitive Interface and Proactive Support Team
I have been part of the Backup team for five years and have been handling Cohesity DataProtect enterprise edition. I am impressed by the way Cohesity handles backup operations, improves its capabilities day by day, and balances powerful backup capabilities with an interface and workflow that feel refreshingly modern for an on-prem product. Its global search, policy-driven protection, and seamless integration across virtual machines, databases, views, and shares create a genuinely unified backup experience. - IT Manager1B-10B USDManufacturingReview Source
Centralized Management and Flexible Licensing Highlight Key Features of Cohesity Helios
We have enjoyed the ease of use with Cohesity and the centralized management through Helios. The support team has been very responsive and great to work with when we've had to open cases. - DIRECTOR OF IT50M-1B USDConstructionReview Source
Straightforward features appreciated despite slow on-prem deployment process
Cohesity has allowed us to unify our backup data into a single platform and enabled us to move away from aging systems with high maintenance costs. The product offerings are straightforward, and there aren't any hidden costs that we've seen in our first four months of ownership.
