One of the biggest drains on your productivity is the “waiting game”—filling out endless support forms and refreshing your inbox just to find a fix for a sudden system issue. Instead of putting your workday on hold for a live representative to become available, you need a way to bypass
the queue entirely. But with millions of clients facing similar friction, traditional support systems simply can’t keep up.
To improve on this outdated system, Cohesity launched its NextGen Support Portal, completely eliminating the wait by delivering on-the-spot, conversational answers to your exact issues. Powered by a guided AI troubleshooting engine, the portal gives you immediate control over your technical fixes, meaning most problems are resolved instantly without ever needing to wait for a human Representative.
6 New AI Capabilities Changing the Game for Cohesity Support:
1. AI-Powered Troubleshooting
Instead of scrolling through a long FAQ section, you can talk to an AI assistant designed to act like a live engineer. You don’t need complex language to be understood; just use simple words that match the exact problem you are dealing with. It asks follow-up questions to fully understand the conflict and gives you step-by-step instructions on what to do. You don’t need a real person to help you fix it because this AI assistant guides you just like a human engineer would.
2. Smarter Case Creation
Let’s say the AI assistant can’t quite fix the issue you are facing. It will personally create the support ticket for you—no need to fill out multiple forms just to reach a representative. Because it has your chat history, the AI automatically categorizes how urgent your ticket is. The technical support engineer gets the detailed chat history right away, so you don’t have to repeat your whole story all over again.
3. Smarter Escalation
If a problem is too complex and needs a different engineer, the system acts like an intelligent traffic controller. It checks who is available at that exact moment and reroutes your issue to someone who can handle it. Unlike in the past, where tickets got stuck in an inbox and were sometimes forgotten, you don’t need to send multiple follow-ups—the AI system manages the routing for you.
4. Unified Download & Licensing
You don’t need to log into multiple websites just to fix one issue. Cohesity merged its software downloads and license management into the exact same portal. This gives you the benefit of accessing all updates and managing software keys in one place, rather than hopping between multiple accounts and websites.
5. Full RMA Tracking
Returning broken hardware (RMA) is now easily trackable, just like tracking a package you ordered from an online shop. You can see exactly where your replacement hardware is and when it will arrive, instead of being left in the dark wondering if it’s on the way.
6. Embedded Changelog
Updates, fixed bugs, and upcoming features are live and available right inside the portal. You don’t need to search through the internet to find out what is new with your software or look for manual bug fixes.
Traditional, multi-step tech support is a time-consuming hassle we can no longer afford. We live in a constantly evolving world where AI is rising to solve our most complex problems, and it’s time our support systems caught up. If the technology we use every day is evolving, the way we fix it must evolve too. Cohesity’s new portal is a perfect example of this shift—proving that the future of troubleshooting isn’t about waiting in a digital line, but moving at the speed of AI.
Waiting is the biggest productivity killer—endless emails, tedious forms, and delays that slow everything down.
When systems fail, every second matters. But instead of fixing the problem, you’re stuck waiting—waiting for responses, for access, for resolution. With millions of clients and growing demands, how can traditional support keep up?
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Introducing Cohesity’s NextGen Support Portal—powered by advanced AI to help you resolve issues faster, access the right solutions instantly, and stay in control every step of the way.
