“Top backup platform”
Pros
After more than 30 years working in IT, Cohesity stands out as the best backup product I've ever used. It's a Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) platform with outstanding support, backed by a team that really knows the product and delivers on what they promise. Being 100% web-based is a huge plus and the integration with VMware, Hyper-V and Nutanix is excellent, along with agent-based support for specific applications.
Cons
Honestly, my only complaint is that I didn't come across Cohesity earlier in my career. I've worked with every major backup product on the market and this one outperforms all of them.

“AI driven insights really help”
Pros
Using Cohesity has been quite hassle-free and that simplicity is a big reason it stands out as a strong option. The products and services deliver very great performance and speed and Cohesity Gaia is a really impressive addition with its AI-powered insights and natural language processing for data protection workflows.
Cons
The pricing of this product feels quite high and the longer backup times keep it from being the top product on the market for me right now.

“Handles backups properly”
Pros
Cohesity's centralized and easy to navigate interface makes backup management much simpler to handle. The deduplication and compression features are highly effective, delivering real savings in both storage space and time. Its integration with virtualized environments is also a strong advantage.
Cons
Getting everything set up at the beginning can be a bit complicated especially for someone new to it. On top of that some of the more advanced features require deeper technical knowledge to use properly.
