TOP 100
FORTUNE 100
Prevention and detection of malicious activity: Modern data immutability/WORM, 2FA/TOTP, VM vulnerability detection, ML-driven anomaly detection, one-click, industry-leading threat protection and data classification
Windows-based single point of failure: CommServe runs mainly on Windows (limited Linux deployments); and requires complex DR process to avoid metadata loss, resulting in unusable backups
Single, simple, and secure UI across all services: 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
Multiple UIs required: Command Center and legacy, Java-based CommCell Console (for advanced tasks); inconsistent experience and output across interfaces
Protection for in-progress backups: Closed API/RPC protocols for adapters; adapterless dump-to-NAS workflows supporting NFSv4.1 ACLs to protect from exfiltration or sabotage
Higher risk of data loss: 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
Strict access control and bank-grade cyber vaulting: Immutability,Cohesity-managed key option; quorum-controlled operations, rapid restore, and time-limited network access (reducing attack surface)
Greater risk of rogue actions: Limited quorum controls requiring installation of non-default business logic workflows to provide additional approvals for few tasks
Get back to business fast: Resume NAS file sharing immediately without restore and/or rapidly restore to primary storage
Files offline longer: Can’t immediately put file shares online; slow restore to primary storage, especially for large NAS data sets
React rapidly to attacks: Simple closed-loop SIEM, SOAR integration; complete incident response within Palo Alto XSOAR, Cisco SecureX, Microsoft Sentinel, or CrowdStrike
Delayed response: SOAR integrations lacking for incident response and resolution
Restore production and populate recovery sandboxes faster: Immediate and scalable restore of VMs and databases for faster forensics, sandboxing, and recovery
Slower recovery: Requires chain-based snapshots for synthetic fulls; limited live mounts and slow cache population
Production-grade I/O reliability: Protected data and uninterrupted instant recovery
Risk of crash: VMs can’t stay mounted through MediaAgent loss or reboot
Conversational business insights: Conversational business insights with secondary data via large language models (LLMs) and retrieval augmented generation (RAG). Governed by existing role-based access controls.
No insights based on LLMs: No business insight capabilities based on LLMs or RAG.
Natural language processing: Natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) for context-aware personally identifiable information (PII) to analyze risk from potential breaches.
No NLP context for PII: No NLP or ML capabilities for the PII scenario.
Speedier data reuse: Rapidly restore to get data immediately for dev/test or analytics
Slow and limited access to data: Inefficient live mount snapshots can bring up only a few VMs or databases
Data masking: Anonymize sensitive information before it leaves the backup repository
Potential PII exposure: Rudimentary internal masking destroys relationships: not useful for analytics
Single secure data management platform: Enable multiple use cases, including file & object services, DR, and copy data management with reduced attack surface
Just a backup: Traditional single-purpose architecture requiring additional silos for use cases beyond backup and recovery
Free up staff time: Modern, easy, and powerful management with a single UI and automated optimization, non-disruptive upgrades, and easy patch management
Labor intensive: Legacy architecture requiring multiple UIs and frequent monitoring and troubleshooting with painful patch and upgrade management
> 30% more space efficient than Commvault, including across cloud: Typical for most workloads due to superior sliding-window dedupe, Zstd compression1
> 43% more space required than Cohesity: Inefficient, large fixed block deduplication (128kb on-prem and 512kb in cloud); limited dedupe across source types
Efficient network utilization: Lower network bandwidth utilization for replication/archive, reducing cost of using cloud-based backup targets
Higher network traffic: Inefficient deduplication creating more bandwidth usage, especially when moving data to the cloud
