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
Alert fatigue: More false positives degrade staff response time to stopping real attacks (no entropy-based anomaly detection)
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 and manual policy configuration leading to less frequent and missed backups, requiring time-consuming troubleshooting
Strict access control: Quorum support for multiperson concurrence on sensitive actions
Greater risk of rogue actions: No quorum groups to prevent unilateral admin action, such as maliciously exporting data
Bank-grade cyber vaulting with Cohesity FortKnox: Immutability,Cohesity-managed key option; quorum-controlled operations, rapid restore, and time-limited network access (reducing attack surface)
Just a vendor-supplied storage bucket: Cloud vault offering only object storage aaS and requiring a customer-managed NetBackup Cloud Recovery Server
Restore production and populate recovery sandboxes faster: Immediate and scalable restore of VMs and databases for faster forensics, sandboxing, and recovery
Slower recovery: Minimal live mounting of VMs only, slow snapshot consolidation processing, and single-threaded restores
Reduced downtime: 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
Production-grade I/O reliability: Writes never lost, near instant recovery; not interrupted by reboot or hardware failure
VM crash risk: VMs can’t stay mounted through media server loss or reboot
Simple closed-loop SIEM, SOAR integration: Complete incident response within Palo Alto XSOAR, Cisco SecureX, Microsoft Sentinel, or Crowdstrike
Limited SIEM/SOAR integrations: No listed integrations with Palo Alto XSOAR, Cisco SecureX, or Crowdstrike
Illuminate dark data: Simple cross-cluster VMnames search, and in-cluster global file search
Hard to find valuable or sensitive data: Complex add-on search
Data masking: Anonymize sensitive information before it leaves the backup repository
Compliance exposure: Dev/test workflows creating risk without masking
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 to address use cases beyond backup and recovery
Fair, transparent licensing: Subscriptions metered by the back-end capacity with easy to understand capacity reporting
Retroactive license audits and high maintenance: Must monitor front-end license use and back-end capacity; expanding and maintaining existing licenses can cost more than starting new with Cohesity
20% more space efficient than NetBackup including across cloud: Typical for most workloads due to superior sliding-window dedupe, Zstd compression1
25% more space required than Cohesity: Results from older compression methods and less precise tracking of duplicate segments
Future proof: Mix between whitebox and your choice of a supported major h/w vendor without an expensive lock-in
Forklift upgrades required: 3rd party non-scale-out repositories or homogeneous clusters requiring nodes to be replaced at once
