| Evangelist / CTO at fgnext | 5.0 | Cohesity SpanFS is ideal for warm to cold data, offering data immutability and multitenancy. It ensures data consistency and protection, though its performance could be enhanced. Beyond storage, it supports running applications, making it versatile for diverse needs. |
| Chief Technology Officer at a computer software company with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I've used this for 1.5 years as an integrated solution for backups. It offers great snapshots, stability, and easy setup. My main critique is slow read performance. Despite this, I recommend Cohesity SpanFS, rating it 8/10 for its features and updates. |
