With Cohesity’s AI-Powered Data Security, customers can rapidly respond to and recover from ransomware and disasters, improve cyber resilience, and gain insights from their data using generative AI.
In the event of disruption, Cohesity customers can recover VMs, databases, and file shares rapidly at scale, without single points of failure. This is especially important as today’s sophisticated cybercriminals are adept at evading EDR and XDR to encrypt, exfiltrate, ransom, or simply wipe your data. Cohesity’s AI-enabled defense capabilities help you identify anomalies and potential threats as quickly as possible and bring back your business at the earliest.
The world’s largest organizations trust Cohesity to secure and manage their enterprise data, across all their mission-critical data sources, on all the clouds that matter. With a platform that is built to scale, Cohesity makes expanding protection to your growing or new workloads a simple task instead of a daunting endeavor.
Minimize your attack surface with built-in security capabilities, like best in the industry cyber vaulting, threat scanning and intelligence, intelligent data classification, and dozens of other features. Our security ecosystem and SOC integration capabilities are unmatched in the industry.
Work smarter not harder with an elegant user experience and rich API library that supports extensive automation. Our customers save thousands of hours per year once they upgrade to Cohesity. Do more with the same headcount—even at enterprise scale.
Gain insights from your enterprise data with RAG AI. Consolidate data and make it available for AI initiatives quickly and securely. Protect the privacy of data used by AI models and employees.
A leader in all the top analyst reports. Gartner, Forrester, IDC, Omdia, GigaOm, and KuppingerCole recognized Cohesity as an industry-leading vendor in security posture, ransomware protection, unstructured data management, cloud backup, scale-out file storage, and data protection.
Modern data immutability/WORM, MFA/TOTP, Quorum, industry-leading threat scanning and data classification, cyber resilience assessments, Destructive Cyberattack Resilience Maturity Model evaluations and the Cyber Event Response Team (CERT). CERT is available to all customers recovering from a ransomware event.
Most CommServe servers run on Windows (limited Linux deployments) and require complex DR processes to avoid catalog/metadata loss, resulting in backup images not being usable for restores without catalog/metadata. Homegrown threat scan feeds. Ransomware Recovery Response Team and Cyber readiness assessments were included only in their now deprecated Platinum Resilience bundle.
Simple-to-use web-based UI. Ability to administer all jobs and consumption models— including aaS offerings. Built from the ground up to be secure.
Command Center and legacy, Java-based CommCell Console (for advanced tasks); inconsistent experience and output across interfaces.
SLAs for Data Cloud Bundles, utilizing object chunking to parallelize data transfers. Also enables faster recovery of these objects. Rolling non-disruptive patching ensures data backups don’t stop during security patches.
Lower uptime/resiliency with long backups and extended upgrade windows potentially leading to less frequent backups and missed backups, requiring frustrating and time-consuming troubleshooting.
Immutability, Cohesity-managed key option; quorum-controlled operations, rapid restore, and time-limited network access (reducing attack surface).
Limited quorum controls requiring installation of non-default business logic workflows to provide additional approvals for a few tasks. Vault network access isn’t time limited by default.
Resume NAS file sharing immediately without restore and/or rapidly restore to primary storage and utilize Digital Jump BagTM to kick off your recovery.
Can’t immediately put file shares online; slow restore to primary storage, especially for large NAS data sets.
Data to be scanned must be restored from backups, making scanning non-performant.
Simple closed-loop SIEM, SOAR integration; complete incident response within Palo Alto XSOAR, Cisco SecureX, Microsoft Sentinel, or CrowdStrike
SOAR integrations lack incident response, investigation, and resolution.
Immediate and scalable restore of VMs and databases for faster forensics, sandboxing, and recovery from Clean Room.
Requires chain-based snapshots for synthetic fulls. Limited live mounts (which is constrained by size of pre-configured cache) and slow cache population. Cleanroom Recovery hosts data in the cloud where it is complex to perform threat hunting and to restore data to production servers.
Protected data and uninterrupted instant recovery.
VMs can’t stay mounted through MediaAgent loss or reboot, resulting in any changes done post live mount being lost.
Conversational business insights with secondary data via large language models (LLMs) and retrieval augmented generation (RAG). Governed by existing role-based access controls.
No business insight capabilities based on LLMs or RAG.
Rapidly restore to get data immediately for dev/test or analytics
Inefficient live mount snapshots can bring up only a few VMs or databases
Anonymize sensitive information before it leaves the backup repository
Rudimentary internal masking destroys relationships: not useful for analytics
Enable multiple use cases, including file and object services, DR, and copy data management with reduced attack surface.
Traditional single-purpose architecture requiring additional silos for use cases beyond backup and recovery
Modern, easy, and powerful management with a single UI and automated optimization, non-disruptive upgrades, and easy OS and security patch management.
Painful security patch and upgrade management experience, due to backup suspension especially when having to patch, in the short window when, a Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) is disclosed. Large enterprises may have to outsource management to 3rd party vendors.
Typical for most workloads due to superior sliding-window dedupe, Zstandard compression1.
Inefficient, large fixed-block deduplication (128 KB on-prem and 512 KB in cloud); leads to higher storage footprint, associated management costs and consequently higher overall TCO.
Lower network bandwidth utilization for replication/archive, reducing cost of using cloud-based backup targets.
Inefficient deduplication creating more bandwidth usage, especially when moving data to the cloud.
