My primary use case is just for backup. It has been used extensively for the backup environment.
Backup protection and search capabilities optimize data management while API-driven architecture streamlines integration
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The protection group, the ease of use, and their Helios platform are the features I find the best. I have utilized the built-in deduplication and compression features, which are pretty good and have helped optimize my storage use.
The experience has been good. The SpanFS is their file system with the erasure coding and all of that, so they are quite advanced in terms of cyber resilience.
My experience with the ransomware protection solution offered by Cohesity C6000 Series has been that their anomaly detection is pretty good. We keep getting alerts for different issues. We have the anomaly detection and threat analytics configured, so it will generate alerts if it detects an anomaly, which we analyze from our end.
The global indexing and search capabilities allow me to search for files, which has been pretty useful for us. The API-driven architecture of Cohesity C6000 Series has enabled good integration with ServiceNow and other ITSM tools.
What needs improvement?
I would say the models, specifically the node models, need improvement. The standard node models, size, and capacity are very standard. We would need something smaller which would be suitable for smaller sites.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for a year and a half.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Since we had multiple sites, it did take a while to deploy on multiple sites. The configuration part would take at least three hours. The configuration process works well as it is.
How are customer service and support?
My experience with their technical support has been good. I would rate their technical support as nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I had evaluated NetBackup, which is now Cohesity C6000 Series's product, but that was before their merger.
How was the initial setup?
It was easy to deploy.
What about the implementation team?
We had professional services and support from Cohesity C6000 Series itself.
What was our ROI?
I have seen return on investment with Cohesity C6000 Series. It took about a year to see a return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is reasonable compared to other products in the market.
What other advice do I have?
Seven to eight people are working with Cohesity C6000 Series in my company. I would generally recommend Cohesity C6000 Series to others. The solution is good in terms of pricing and efficiency, and there are no types of companies I would not recommend it to. I rate this solution 8 out of 10.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
