Cohesity review: data protection and Cloud Rebuild for AWS
Data protection with AWS infrastructure rebuild
Short answer
Cohesity is a data protection product, and its Cloud Rebuild restores infrastructure, configuration and data for select AWS workloads already defined in Terraform. It is listed with data backup products, which work alongside the infrastructure recovery tools we rank, so it is not scored; no price for Cloud Rebuild, recovery target or drift detection is published.
Vendor facts read September and October 2026, updated 2026-10-13. Editorial assessment; we did not run the products.
Not scored · Data backup: works alongside, not scored
Cohesity is listed in the group Data backup. They protect workload data rather than rebuilding cloud infrastructure, so they complement the tools we score. It has no score or rank on this site. See the cloud DR rankings.
