Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“The Converged/Enterprise players (Rubrik, Cohesity): Offer incredibly secure, ransomware-resilient... but can be on the pricier side.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Backup and DR · scale prompt · alternative
“Cohesity | AI threat detection, unified backup/DR, Fortune 500 scale-down. | Enterprise features at SMB price.” Grok 4.20 · Backup and DR · scale prompt · alternative
“Gartner Leader (5x in a row); AI-powered, multicloud, cyber-vault recovery. Scales well from mid-market up.” Grok 4.20 · Backup and DR · direct prompt · alternative
“For Cloud-Native Organizations: Recommended: Rubrik Security Cloud or Cohesity” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Backup and DR · direct prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“though it's more appliance-anchored with limited coverage outside VMware environments” Kimi K2 · Backup and DR · comparative prompt · soft negative
“but is appliance-anchored, which may be more complex/expensive for a mid-sized org” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Backup and DR · paraphrase prompt · soft negative
“Cohesity – consolidation platform, more enterprise-oriented” Muse Glimmer 30B · Backup and DR · direct prompt · soft negative

Events in person

Last twelve months

As the event pages on cohesity.com state them, read September 28, 2026.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page cohesity.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Cohesity DataProtect's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Cohesity DataProtect, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Cohesity DataProtect by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Cohesity DataProtect is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Cohesity DataProtect, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at cohesity.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
