Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cohesity Cloud Services for Microsoft 365 provides backup and recovery for Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft Teams. It is designed for Microsoft 365 teams that need policy-driven protection across core collaboration and productivity workloads. The service supports backup as a service and connects with Cohesity’s broader data protection platform, including unified administration across SaaS and self-managed environments.
Policy-based backup automation and tenant-level schedules help organizations define how Microsoft 365 data is protected. Global search covers emails, files, and documents, while granular mailbox and file recovery supports targeted restores. Point-in-time recovery adds another recovery option when an organization needs to return data to an earlier state. Integrations with Microsoft 365, Microsoft 365 Backup Storage, Microsoft Entra ID, and Microsoft Azure support its Microsoft ecosystem fit.
Cohesity Cloud Services for Microsoft 365 also includes immutable backups and ransomware recovery capabilities, making recovery planning a central part of the service rather than an afterthought. According to the vendor’s pricing information, the service uses per-user pricing and requires contacting sales; the published materials describe multiple service tiers and optional capabilities, so coverage can differ by tier. A 30-day trial is available. Choose it if your organization needs broad Microsoft 365 workload coverage, policy automation, detailed search, and several recovery methods. Organizations seeking a simple, narrowly focused backup tool may prefer a less comprehensive service.
