Commvault vs. Cohesity

True cloud cyber resilience without the chaos 

Commvault

  • Continuous testing and frictionless recovery

    Commvault Cloud’s Cleanroom Recovery offers comprehensive testing and failover that enables secure and quick recovery of applications into an on-demand cleanroom to ensure reliable cyber recovery.

    The result?

    Reduces the complexity and costs of managing on-premises cleanrooms to ensure uninterrupted business continuity.

Cohesity

  • Inadequate testing and recovery options

    Cohesity’s limited capabilities rely on third-party applications and lack any-to-any portability. They do not offer a flexible dissimilar Cleanroom target, requiring customers to depend on manual, complex, and expensive testing and recovery processes.

    The result?

    Complex, costly, and untenable requirements for readiness and recovery for the hybrid enterprise.

Commvault

  • Built-in data security

    Commvault Cloud provides a layered approach to threat detection that extends its monitoring capabilities beyond the recovery environment to actively monitor the live data.

    The result?

    Always-available critical threat prevention capabilities that users can depend on.

Cohesity

  • Dependent on separate tools

    Cohesity’s ransomware detection and recovery features are 100% dependent upon third-party apps purchased separately from their marketplace or their cloud-based Helios and DataHawk tools.

    The result?

    Increased risk that your data and systems will be completely isolated from the very tools that “protect” them.

Commvault

  • Proactive: Earlier detection and response

    Commvault Cloud provides a layered approach to threat detection, looking beyond the recovery environment to actively monitor the live data.

    The result?

    Earlier warning of potential threats and the ability to quickly respond and mitigate any impact.

Cohesity

  • Reactive: Delayed detection and response

    Cohesity’s detection features are limited to only looking at their backup data.

    The result?

    Damage has already been done by the time a threat has been detected.

Commvault

  • Any workload. Anywhere.

    Commvault Cloud supports the broadest spectrum of data platforms, workloads, and cloud-native applications. Customers gain peace of mind with consistent and integrated security for all of their data, wherever it lives.

    The result?

    No-fuss integration that enables you to easily plug us into your data environment.

Cohesity

  • Limited protection coverage

    Cohesity is much more limited in terms of what data they can even backup, lacking support for critical workloads like Azure Active Directory, Oracle Cloud, and many other cloud-native databases and applications. The Cohesity and Veritas integration is expected to be complex and time-consuming, taking several years. Customers may face challenges during this transitional period due to the lack of platform integration. The Cohesity and Veritas integration is expected to be complex and time-consuming, taking several years. Customers may face challenges during this transitional period due to the lack of platform integration.

    The result?

    Patchwork protection that requires more tools and creates more complexity.

Commvault

  • Build. Scale. Grow.

    Commvault Cloud customers can choose a mix of appliance, reference architecture, virtual, cloud, and even SaaS to best fit their evolving business needs. Plus, features like global deduplication, dynamic provisioning and power management reduce infrastructure costs on-premises and in the cloud.

    The result?

    The ability to build and scale your environment with one solution, all at the industry’s lowest TCO.

Cohesity

  • More and more appliances

    Cohesity customers have stated that they are spending more with Cohesity than they did with previous solutions. Customers are unable to mix and match different appliance models or vendors in a cluster, limiting flexibility.

    The result?

    Exponential costs that limit your availability to scale, locking you in.

Customer quotes

What our customers are saying

We were looking for an offering that could protect the many key platforms deployed across our environment, and Cohesity couldn’t check either of those boxes.

Gilman Treantos

Administrator, IT – Backup/Storage Blue Cross & Blue Shield of South Carolina

We looked at EMC Networker and Veritas NetBackup, but Commvault Complete Backup and Recovery was easier to operate and troubleshoot, and it gave us flexibility to use any disk for back up without tying us to a specific hardware vendor. Commvault was the only solution offering all these advantages.

Ali Yazici

IT Service Manager , Kuveyt Türk Participation Bank 

Compared to Veritas and Dell EMC, Commvault Complete™ Backup & Recovery is the most cost-effective solution. We worked with Veritas and Dell in the past, but only Commvault provided the functionalities to meet our distinct backup requirements, while supporting the diverse hardware portfolio. With Commvault technology, we are confident that our data is always secure and readily available.
