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.
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.
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.
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, 2FA/TOTP, VM vulnerability detection, ML-driven anomaly detection, one-click, industry-leading threat protection and data classification
Cannot set WORM-lock periods independently of retention periods - raising costs and increasing compliance risks; no VM vulnerability detection; unable to combine multiple custom IOC rules; unable to combine a feed with a rule.
Adapters use closed API/RPC protocols and adapterless dump-to-NAS workflows supporting NFSv4.1 ACLs to protect from exfiltration or sabotage
Fewer applications supported by adapters; in-progress NFS dumps may be accessed on the network for exfiltration or sabotage
Quorum support for multi-person concurrence on sensitive actions
No quorum controls to prevent unilateral admin actions to maliciously export data or pause vaulting
Immutability, Cohesity-managed key option; quorum-controlled operations, rapid restore, and time-limited network access (reducing attack surface)
Customer still responsible for managing multiple risks themselves; fewer layers of protection, doesn’t meet bank requirements or maximize restore speeds
Immediate and scalable restore of VMs and databases for faster forensics, sandboxing, and recovery
Chain-based metadata processing requires background “stitching together” of snapshots when restoring at scale
Resume NAS file sharing immediately without restore, and/or rapidly restore to primary storage
Can’t immediately put file shares online; slow restore to primary
Writes never lost, near instant recovery; not interrupted by reboot or hardware failure
Risk of VM interruption or data loss due to node loss or unplanned reboot
Complete incident response within Palo Alto XSOAR, Cisco SecureX, Microsoft Sentinel, or Crowdstrike
Two UIs needed; Lacks Cisco integration
Rapidly restore to get data immediately for dev/test or analytics
Less scalable live mounting and restore
Anonymize sensitive information before it leaves the backup repository
Dev/test workflows create risk without masking
Enable multiple use cases including file & object services, DR, and copy data management with a reduced attack surface
Single-purpose architecture requires additional silos for use cases beyond backup and recovery
Same GUI for SaaS, on-prem workloads, and M365
SaaS limited to protecting M365; separate GUI for SaaS administration
Typical for most workloads due to superior sliding-window dedupe, Zstd compression1
Typically due to fixed block sizes, limited dedupe across source types and less compression. No dedupe supported for flash media.2
Mix between whitebox and your choice of a supported major h/w vendor without an expensive lock-in
Mixing hardware limited to single vendor
1Space saving estimate based on a typical mix of VMs, databases, and file shares as observed in head-to-head sizing and as relayed to Cohesity by prospects.
2When Cohesity needs 25% less space, if Rubrik needs 100 TB then Cohesity needs 75 TB; compared to the 75 TB that Coheity needs, Rubrik needs 25 more TB, which is 33% more than Cohesity needs; if Rubrik has not quoted 33% more license than Cohesity, then Rubrik is likely not quoting enough license to provide sufficient in-cluster retention to recover rapidly from sophisticated attackers.

Seattle University chose Cohesity over Rubrik to implement a modern backup and recovery solution. Cohesity empowers SU to protect, store, and manage secondary data, and also extend the web-scale platform for a dev/test environment.
We are experiencing both time and cost savings with Cohesity because we now rely on one data management platform for backup, archiving, long-term retention, and files. It’s always working and not just one specialist, but our whole team can take advantage of its modern capabilities.”
Switching to Cohesity resulted in 20–25% improvement in data reduction compared to other backup solutions.”
