    It is best asset management & centralized monitoring across multi cloud environments. It can be used to access those assets, update them when necessary, implement Azure monitor to get insights. We can also onboard thsese assets to Microsoft Defender for Cloud to provide the cloud security. Azure Arc is not suitable for the client device management or use as a MDM.

    Cohesity has been awesome. The performance (speed) that it has been able to provide has actually given me back time every month. I have to test my backups monthly, and the Cloning process that Cohesity has available from it's backup has given me days back each month. It just a few minutes I can have VMs restored for testing and documentation. This took a couple days with the previous vendor.

    • Reporting could always be better- executive-style reports have to be generated from data at multiple points.
    • Some tasks that could be brought to the UI that today we have to call support on (for example when an NFS mount is still active but we cannot see it from the UI)

    We have been very pleased with this backup solution. It is fast and reliable, and supports our VMware infrastructure. The company's support has been great, including proactively replacing our nodes when the flash memory was reporting high wear. Support is offered on-shore as well. We plan on continuing to use this product for the foreseeable future.

    Azure Arc monitoring is based on a unified procedure which includes the installation and configuration of the Arc agent on any computer/server which is to be onboaded to Arc. The solution is very usable especially when combined with the usage of Windows Admin Center, the HTML5-based unified management console for all our hybrid infrastructure. Many of the best of breed Azure tools and services are available via Azure Arc, when deployed to on-premise servers.

    Cohesity Helios is very easy to use and the web up is simple to navigate and the main dashboard presents a very good and clear overview summary of protection status, capacity and other vital metrics. If you have multiple clusters you can get a single pane view of overall status which is awesome.

    Support is quick to respond but lacks that ongoing responsiveness if the issue is not simple. There will be large gaps in replies if they need to resort to escalation and when there are timezone differences between yourself and the person who picked up the ticket.

    Azure Arc uses the underlying power of Microsoft Azure, which allows assets across multicloud to be onboarded to Arc platform. It provides monitoring, security, updates in one click in one single platform. It also provides licensing benefits for Windows Server licenses, which offers premium features like Windows server admin center to manage your windows servers more effectively.

    We looked at Veeam and although it's a great product when we priced out the licensing of both primary and disaster datacenters it became much too expensive. Rubrik is a great product and very similar to Cohesity. In the end, Cohesity had a secondary storage play as well as a better UI and better compatibility with lower tier cloud storage. We also like the way Cohesity did protection jobs vs Rubrik's virtual machine centric backup. CommVault is a product we still use today due to its massive features and the ability for bare metal backups. Cohesity does a much better job in the area of UI simplicity, virtual backup ease, and ease of management.

    Overall Cohesity professional services like the rest of Cohesity are brilliant. We had some poor advice around how to carve up our Netapp protection jobs which has set us back but it has been acknowledged that a mistake was made by Cohesity and they promise for future engagements with new customers the lessons learnt with us will be integrated into their planning workshop for NAS onboarding.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • After configuring Azure Arc-enabled services on premise for SQL Server, we saw a drastic decrease in our Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by 30%
    • After working with Azure Arc monitoring agents installed in our on-prem Windows and Linux users, we documented a 20% increase in overall IT operations efficiency, due to the unified monitoring solution.
    • The Azure Arc-enabled servers security baseline provides procedural guidance and resources for implementing security recommendations and best practices. This has increased operational efficiency and decreased security incidents by 15%.

    • We've a few occasions where Outlook items have been permanently deleted. Cohesity Backup had mulitple backups allowing us to restore the lost items.
    • Can be managed by O365 Security Groups meaning offboarding is easier and ensuring licences aren't take unneccesarily
    • Backup of Sharepoint and Teams has been very helpful.
