Only Commvault® Cloud enables continuous business for the cloud-first enterprise.
Cleanroom Recovery
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 provide reliable cyber recovery.
The result?
Reduce the complexity and cost of managing on-premises cleanrooms to enable 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, forcing 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.
Cloud Discovery and Rebuild
Commvault
Don’t just restore data – rewind and rebuild
Cloud Rewind automates the backup, replication, and recovery of entire cloud environments, including applications, data, and dependencies, for quick and efficient recovery with minimal manual intervention.
The result?
Significantly increase application resilience in public clouds with app environment level discovery, protection, rewind, recovery, and rebuild Capabilities. Dramatically reduce time to rebuild after a cyber attack from weeks to minutes.
Cohesity
Inadequate cloud resilience capabilities
Limited to backing up and restoring data without the required dependencies, lacking comprehensive environment discovery. Requires scripts and manual execution or automated pipelines, which can be error-prone and time-consuming during a disaster.
The result?
Cohesity’s backup and recovery capabilities are not built to protect and recover all the cloud resources used by dynamic, distributed auto-scaling apps that rely on software-defined cloud infrastructure.
Petabyte-scale AWS Resilience
Commvault
AWS data protection for a cloud-first world
With rapid recovery that scales to petabytes of data and billions of objects, you’ll have the confidence that you can quickly and easily recover Amazon S3 or DynamoDB data in the event of an operational error, disaster, or cyber attack.
The result?
The ability to scale seamlessly with your organization’s data, while providing the power of file level indexing that helps you find, protect and restore exactly the right data among billions of cloud files and objects, fast.
Cohesity
Increased cost and restore times
Cohesity uses full-scale, point-in-time backups for AWS, resulting in dramatically slower backup and restore times.
The result?
Increased backup costs, restore times, and management complexities.
Cyber Threat Migration
Commvault
Built-in data security
Commvault Cloud provides a layered approach to threat detection that extends its monitoring capabilities beyond just backup data to actively monitor live production data.
The result?
Always-available critical threat prevention features you can rely 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.
Threat Detection and Response
Commvault
Proactive: Earlier detection and response
Commvault Cloud provides a layered approach to threat detection, providing enticing decoys that mimic real world assets and threat hunting in production and backup 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 can only monitor their own backup data.
The result?
By the time a threat is detected, the damage has already been done.
Multi-cloud and Hybrid Workloads
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, with no 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 result?
Patchwork protection that requires more tools and creates more complexity.
Flexibility & TCO
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 reported that they are spending more with Cohesity than they did with previous solutions. And they’re 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.”
“Right now, we operate Commvault, Veritas, HPDP, and Backup Exec, and Commvault's by far the product that's got the highest success rate for backup and restore, and it is a good 20% better.”
“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.”
“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.”
