Cohesity SiteContinuity review
A Cohesity-focused DR service for building, testing, and orchestrating recovery plans.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Cohesity SiteContinuity is an enterprise disaster recovery service for teams protecting critical workloads across customer-managed infrastructure and Cohesity-managed cloud environments. Its DR plan builder, continuous data protection, and orchestration for failover and failback are aimed at mid-market and enterprise organizations that need structured recovery workflows. Documented workload support covers VMware virtual machines and NAS Views on Cohesity; Amazon EC2 is available as a DR target in the managed cloud deployment. That makes it most relevant to organizations already working within Cohesity’s ecosystem, rather than buyers seeking a broadly documented tool for varied platforms.
Recovery operations combine asynchronous replication with non-disruptive DR testing, instant mass restore, and automated failover and failback. Automation options include a REST API, PowerShell, and Python SDK, while Amazon EC2 is a listed integration. The platform also supports multi-cluster SSO, role-based access control, and multifactor authentication. These capabilities suit teams that want to coordinate recovery plans and validate them without disrupting production. Buyers whose priority is a vendor-neutral workload catalog or detailed dependency mapping should compare alternatives closely against their environment’s requirements.
According to the vendor’s pricing model, SiteContinuity requires contacting sales; the published product details do not describe plan tiers. Cohesity offers a 30-day Cloud Services trial, but that is distinct from a perpetual free SiteContinuity plan. Support channels include phone, email, tickets, and documentation, with 24/7 support listed. The stated compliance coverage includes SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA. Choose SiteContinuity when Cohesity workloads and tested, automated recovery are central requirements; look elsewhere if a self-serve price or a different workload scope is essential.
