Veritas is the only vendor to have been named a Leader 19 times¹ in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions.

We believe this distinction represents our continued commitment to innovation, the strength of our product vision, and the ability to execute on our strategy to help customers get control of their data and navigate the complexity of today’s heterogeneous, multi-cloud environments.

We are modernizing data protection through the increased use of automation/AI and our new Alta Copilot operational assistant. We are lowering operational costs by consolidating management into tools like Alta View and the elastic resource management capabilities of Cloud Scale Technology. And we are ensuring an environment that is secure from external threats with the industry’s only adaptive self-defense capabilities like our risk engine, self-adapting authentication settings, automated malware scanning on backup and restore, and much more.

The enterprise data protection market has many vendors to choose from, but we believe Veritas has unique capabilities that make data protection easier in today’s highly varied and heterogeneous environments. Our customers continue to rely on us for our well-established global presence in the market, but they also value us for how we are redefining data protection.

Here are some of these capabilities:

  • Broadest range of consumption/deployment options – ranging from software-only (on-premises and cloud), to cyber-resilient scale-up and scale-out appliances, and Backup-as-a-Service – with support for over 1,000 different data sources spanning across traditional, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS workloads. We also support over 900 storage devices and over 80 cloud storage targets, resulting in the most flexible and comprehensive enterprise data protection solution available.

  • Veritas 360 Defense – our cross-portfolio architecture that includes automated self-defense features like our ML-based risk engine and adaptive MFA/MPA, combined with our ecosystem of leading security vendors. All of this is complemented by our in-house REDLab, an isolated testing environment that help Veritas ensure that our customers are always prepared with the most up-to-date cyberthreat detection capabilities available. 

  • Industry-leading cloud support – across all major CSPs. Elastic architecture that scales backup resources up and down as required. Completely automated protection of new PaaS workloads. Full & incremental backup capabilities in the cloud (not just snapshots), and cloud object storage that provides far greater scalability than competitors or native CSP tools.

Gartner evaluated many different themes in their analysis – multicloud protection, cloud native protection, ransomware detection and recovery, as-a-Service hosted offerings, AI/ML, instant recovery capabilities, and several others. Over the past year, we’ve made significant progress in each of these areas with the launch of Veritas 360 Defense, Veritas Alta Copilot, and new capabilities and integrations across our entire portfolio that help our customers get control of their data, wherever it may reside.

We appreciate the recognition by Gartner of Veritas as a Leader as we continue on our journey to redefine data protection. You can expect more integrations, more intelligence, and more simplicity as we continue to make data management easier for our customers. And as we prepare to join forces with Cohesity, we’ll bring together the power of their portfolio with our own to create the most comprehensive, intelligent, and secure data protection offering available.
