Cohesity Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines backup and data protection platforms as platforms that capture point-in-time copies of enterprise data for multiple use cases. Primarily used for recovering data from multiple data loss scenarios, they enhance data protection initiatives to improve cyberreadiness and risk management, extract new data insights, and expand data access capabilities. These platforms protect enterprise data in hybrid, multicloud and SaaS environments. Backup and data protection platforms are available as software-only, integrated appliances, and vendor-developed and hosted backup as a service (BaaS).

I have dealt with the NetBackup product for over 20 years across the various ownership changes from Veritas to Symantec and now to Cohesity. The technical support and service I have received over the years has been one of the best vendor experiences I have had.

NETWORK ENG

As part of a Network team, I saw such a product coming to me without a valid RFP. Unfortunately, we do have a highly regulated infrastructure and Cohesity is struggling to follow our standards.  It might be a nice tool, but from a security perspective the product is incredibly naive. Segmentation of activities (backup/ admin) is complicated as the system is missing a real out of band solution. 

DIRECTOR OF IT

Cohesity has allowed us to unify our backup data into a single platform and enabled us to move away from aging systems with high maintenance costs. The product offerings are straightforward, and there aren't any hidden costs that we've seen in our first four months of ownership.
