"We can run test scripts on production data."

"It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"The ability to essentially instantly recover a VM and have it run on the Cohesity Platform while all those bits are technically being recovered in the background is useful to us."

"It's completely reliable and easy to restore."
"I want an additional copy of my data in the Office cloud and it works."
