3 reasons why teams choose Cohesity over Veritas

Overview Beyond Zero Trust

Go beyond Zero Trust

With today’s sophisticated cybercriminals trying to encrypt, exfiltrate, and ransom your data, the need for Zero Trust is a given. You need AI/ML-enabled defense capabilities that minimize your attack surface.

Proven Recovery Icon

Gain a proven recovery advantage

When your business is down, every second counts. Recover VMs, databases, and file shares rapidly and at scale, without single points of failure risking VM crashes or data loss.

Platform Icon

Streamline with one platform for the future

Get modern data security and backup, either SaaS or self-managed. Use one platform with limitless scale—so you can expand with file services, repurpose data for dev/test, and generally do more.

Minimize risk from cyberattacks

icon
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

icon
Alert fatigue

More false positives degrade staff response time to stopping real attacks (no entropy-based anomaly detection)

icon
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

icon
Higher risk of data loss

Lower uptime/resiliency and manual policy configuration leading to less frequent and missed backups, requiring time-consuming troubleshooting

icon
Strict access control

Quorum support for multiperson concurrence on sensitive actions

icon
Greater risk of rogue actions

No quorum groups to easily prevent unilateral admin action, such as maliciously exporting data

icon
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)

icon
Just a vendor-supplied storage bucket

Cloud vault offering only object storage aaS and requiring a customer-managed NetBackup Cloud Recovery Server

Reduce downtime with rapid recovery

icon
Restore production and populate recovery sandboxes faster

Immediate and scalable restore of VMs and databases for faster forensics, sandboxing, and recovery

icon
Slower recovery

Minimal live mounting of VMs only, slow snapshot consolidation processing, and single-threaded restores

icon
Reduced downtime

Resume NAS file sharing immediately without restore, and/or rapidly restore to primary storage

icon
Files offline longer

Can’t immediately put file shares online; slow restore to primary storage

icon
Production-grade I/O reliability

Writes never lost, near instant recovery; not interrupted by reboot or hardware failure

icon
VM crash risk

VMs can’t stay mounted through media server loss or reboot

icon
Simple closed-loop SIEM, SOAR integration

Complete incident response within Palo Alto XSOAR, Cisco SecureX, Microsoft Sentinel, or Crowdstrike

icon
Limited SIEM/SOAR integrations

No listed integrations with Palo Alto XSOAR, Cisco SecureX, or Crowdstrike

Maximize data value

icon
Illuminate dark data

Simple cross-cluster VMnames search, and in-cluster global file search

icon
Hard to find valuable or sensitive data

Complex add-on search

icon
Data masking

Anonymize sensitive information before it leaves the backup repository

icon
Compliance exposure

Dev/test workflows creating risk without masking

icon
Single secure data management platform

Enable multiple use cases including file & object services, DR, and copy data management with reduced attack surface

icon
Just a backup

Traditional single-purpose architecture requiring additional silos to address use cases beyond backup and recovery

Better TCO

icon
Fair, transparent licensing

M365 Subscriptions metered by the back-end capacity with easy to understand capacity reporting

icon
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

icon
20% more space efficient than NetBackup including across cloud

Typical for most workloads due to superior sliding-window dedupe, Zstd compression1

icon
25% more space required than Cohesity

Results from older compression methods and less precise tracking of duplicate segments

icon
Future proof

Mix between whitebox and your choice of a supported major h/w vendor without an expensive lock-in

icon
Forklift upgrades required

3rd party non-scale-out repositories or homogeneous clusters requiring nodes to be replaced at once
